Please note that our logo has not changed The first three logos mentioned above are a slightly refined cut of our recogniz ed symbol. The KPMG solid blue and solid black logos are the exact same cuts of the logo we have been using for years. We have re-named them solid as the rectangles in these versions are filled with solid colour. The following two pages provide clear guidance on when to use each logo.

5 exclusion zone Page 15 For maximum impact, our logo should always be prominent and legible. The exclusion zone gives the logo enough space to make this impact and not be compromised by other elements. The height and width of a single box within the KPMG logo is used to define the exclusion zone. No text, imagery or patterned background should enter this space. The desired clear space on the left is measured from the far left panel within the logo. This exclusion zone exists to define the minimum amount of space that should be left clear around the logo. Whenever possible, leave a great deal more clear space around the logo than the exclusion zone. Exclusion zone for exceptional cases We have an exclusion zone for exceptional cases. This is used for applications where it is impossible to use the normal exclusion zone without compromising the size of our logo, for example a mobile application button or a sponsorship hoarding. Half the height and width of a single box within the KPMG logo is used to define the exclusion zone for exceptional cases. Unlike the normal exclusion zone, here the desired clear space on the left is measured from the left of the capital K within the logo.

6 sizing Page 16 The logo is measured by the full width from the capital K to the last rectangle. The logo must feature prominently on all applications, without dominating the page. The table below shows the appropriate size for the logo in different applications. Minimum logo size For print, the minimum size of the logo is 13mm wide. In exceptional circumstances where you need a very small version on a pen for example the absolute minimum width is 10mm. In these situations the strapline should not appear with the logo as it will be too small. For digital applications, the logo should not be less than 70 pixels wide. sizes for common applications Business cards A5 format material CD case format US letter material (brochures/letterheads) US half letter material A4 format material (brochures/letterheads) Compliments card (210 x 99mm) Compliments card (8.5 x 3.75in) PowerPoint (on-screen) Magazine ads US magazine ads Newspaper tabloid ads Newspaper broadsheet ads US newspaper broadsheet ads 15mm 20mm 20mm 23mm 20mm 25mm 25mm 23mm 75 pixels 25mm 23mm 35mm 45mm 35mm How to measure the logo

7 1 / 3 positioning Page 17 On the majority of applications the logo is located in either left-hand corner of the (see page 18). Always adhere to the logo exclusion zone. Basic principle The logo is placed in one of the left-hand corners of the, as this is where the KPMG Blue Gradient is darkest. It is important not to place the logo in the right-hand corners of the, as this is the lightest area of the gradient and could affect legibility. Depending on whether the corner the logo is placed in touches the edge of the application, position as follows: 1. When the logo is placed in a corner of the that does not touch the edge of the application Position the logo as close as possible to the corner edges without breaking the exclusion zone. 2. When the logo is placed in a corner of the that touches the edge of the application Align the logo to the outside margin of the grid. 1. positioned in a corner of the panel that does not touch the edge of the application Aligned to exclusion zone = Outside margin of the grid = exclusion zone 2. positioned in a corner of the panel that touches the edge of the application Aligned to outside margin of grid = Outside margin of the grid = exclusion zone

This is because in these instances, the darkest color of the gradient begins on the right, with the lightest color on the left (L< R). Please note, the is not flipped it must keep a consistent diagonal angle for all languages. kpmg.com s positioned in a right-hand corner of the panel

10 When to use the strapline Page 20 The strapline is a powerful expression of how we want to differentiate ourselves in the market. It is a bold and assertive statement and should be used at the high-level communication point on our external and internal communications. For example, use the strapline on: advertisements literature covers PowerPoint cover slides sponsorship ventures (whenever possible) events, collateral and environments home page (landing pages) Don t use the strapline on: applications where space restrictions do not allow room for the strapline applications where the use of the strapline will result in too much repetition of the message stationery business cards signage inside spreads of literature

11 and strapline lock-up Page 21 Our strapline has a defined lock-up with our logo. The strapline is based on Univers 65 Bold italic but the letters have been individually kerned so the artwork supplied must be used. The defined lock-up with the logo is as follows: Align the c in cutting left with the K in our logo. Align the c in complexity with the far right point of our logo. Set the strapline a distance below the logo equal to the height of the i in cutting labelled in the illustration opposite as i. Please note the strapline is only used with the KPMG logo and is never used as a separate element. The trademark symbol must always appear with the strapline. Always use the artwork provided and never try to re-create the strapline. The strapline should always appear in English.
