7 LOGO STANDARDS Corporate Colours - Core Logo The official colours are PMS 193 and Black. When using four-colour printing, the process equivalents of PMS 193 may be reproduced using the breakdown formulas shown here. The printing surface may affect the way the colour is displayed. Uncoated stock allows the ink pigment to be absorbed into it which flattens out the colour whereas when a coated stock is used, the ink pigment is retained on the surface and often increases the intensity of the colour. Colour may appear different when viewing on a computer screen. An RGB backlit monitor will often look different than printed material that is viewed with reflective light. pantone pms 193 red CMYK 0C, 100Y, 66M, 13K RGB R:164, G:27, B:61 W E B A41B3D BLACK & WHITE 100% BLACK 07

13 LOGO GUIDELINES

14 LOGO GUIDELINES Logo Repetition Use Pharmasave logo once per application, and limited amounts of wordmarks per application. See samples shown below. Multiple Pharmasave logos and marks appearing in the same application adds clutter, reduces comprehension and impact, as well as perceptions of professionalism. Before After 14

15 LOGO GUIDELINES Improper Logo Usage Do not use the Pharmsave Logo with the Serif Italic Tagline. See fig. A. The Pharmasave Logo is only to be used in a horizontal format. Do not change orientation by rotating or angling the logo as indicated in fig. B shown below. fig. A fig. B 15

16 LOGO GUIDELINES Improper Logo Usage Do not use the Pharmasave Health Centre logo as shown in fig. C. The sample on the right shows how Health Centre will be used. fig. C Before After 16

17 LOGO GUIDELINES Improper Logo Usage Do not use the PS Logo as shown in fig. D. The extra logo element adds clutter and brand confusion to the communication piece and reduces the main impact of the corporate logo. The samples on the right shows two important points. The brochure labeled After shows how much stronger the communication and brand is without the presence of another logo and with the proper use of a safety area around the corporate signature. The message is clearer, stronger and well identified by the single corporate logo. fig. D Before After 17

18 LOGO GUIDELINES Use Of Wordmark When the wordmark is used in text, the brand should appear as follows: Pharmasave It is not to be used in all caps and not in conjunction with the logo. The wordmark, not the logo, should appear in headlines, bodycopy, etc. Before After 18

19 LOGO GUIDELINES Regional Application Regional logos such as fig. E and fig. F are no longer to be used. Instead where there is a need to identify a region, the regional name is not to appear in direct connection with the logo. The examples to the right highlight a possible treatment for the business card, however a standardized set of stationery has not yet been developed.
