.09 Development of the Logo. Rules for use. The UK has a great tradition of innovation within aerospace maintained by the AGP. The AGP is a positive collaboration of industry and government working together to secure the future for UK Aerospace. The AGP logo was developed to provide a respected and trusted visual identifier for our customers and partners around the globe, in turn providing a powerful asset to our campaign. The corporate logo is made up of three separate elements and there is a fixed relationship between them. The logo has been specifically drawn and is unique to the AGP. It is therefore vitally important that it is not redrawn or recreated in any way. The swoosh logo identifies the UK and Aerospace as our marketplace, reinforcing our national heritage by adopting the colours of the Union Jack. The uniqueness of the logo is enhanced by consistent reproduction using only the corporate colours specified within this document. No other colour reproduction is permitted, apart from in black or reversed white out of a dark background. Reproducing the logo over imagery should be avoided. The minimum permitted width of the logo is 30mm. It is important to keep the logo clear of any other graphical elements. To regulate this, an exclusion zone has been established to indicate the closest point, any other element or message can be positioned in relation to the AGP logo. The exclusion zone is modified if a supporting message or bi-line is included. Artwork is available on the AGP Stakeholder Hub or on the USB accompanying this document. NOTE: AGP initiatives and AGP-supported initiatives are obliged to adhere to these guidelines when using or modifying the AGP logo. Only AGP initiatives and AGP-supported initiatives are permitted to modify the logo for this purpose. Note: The colours reproduced throughout this manual have not been evaluated by PANTONE for accuracy and may not match the PANTONE Colour Standards and you should refer to the current editions of the PANTONE matching guides.

The Logo. Exceptions and bi-lines. There are two exceptions to the rules governing the exclusion zone of the AGP logo. Where the logo is accompanied by the approved by-line or a partner qualification, the exclusion zone is modified as shown. Example Logo with Supporter Qualification. Example Logo with Strapline.
.11 Colours & Backgrounds. Rules for use. The AGP logo should always be used on a background that will not impede its legibility. A white or light neutral colour is preferred, but where this is not possible, please follow the guidelines below. 30% black as shown here, is the darkest background allowable for use with the three colour logo. For darker coloured backgrounds, use the one colour white version of the logo Pantone 2756 C C 100 M100 Y20 K5 R47 G46 B121 HE #2f2e79 RAL 5022 Night Blue Pantone 199 C C0 M100 Y86 K5 R225 G25 B48 HE #e11930 RAL 3020 Traffic Red Note: The colours reproduced throughout this manual have not been evaluated by PANTONE for accuracy and may not match the PANTONE Colour Standards and you should refer to the current editions of the PANTONE matching guides.

.13 Logo use on Marketing Communications. On printed materials. Printed marketing communications material covers a wide gamut of styles and formats from stationery to exhibitions and from brochures to promotional giveaways. It is important that these guidelines are followed wherever the logo is reproduced. By delivering a strong and consistent brand identity across all materials, we will reflect and reinforce our core values of excellence and innovation. Our communications play a pivotal role in achieving this, both internally and externally, by creating an identity that underlines our presence in the global Aerospace economy. Continued overleaf.

.17 Document layout. AGP document layout. The chosen format for all AGP document presentation is primarily A4 portrait. Other sizes can be used depending on final use, but should be restricted to A5 portrait for multi-page documents or landscape for direct mail and invitation types. A third A4 tri-fold is also acceptable for smaller publications and leaflets. Bespoke sizes outside of the A paper size range should not be used. Depicted here are the approved layout templates that should be used wherever possible in the development of printed documents relating to the AGP. The material of choice is silk art with weight dependant upon final usage. Any further finish should be nonglossy ie an inline silk machine seal on press or a silk or matt laminate or UV varnish. Paper choice again, requires the same attention to quality and detail and is bound by a consistent and uncompromising set of standards.
Digital use. Branding for all things digital. Email Communication For internal use, all email communication should be accompanied by a standard signature and disclaimer which can be found on our Stakeholder Hub. Ensure that your email client is set to transmit your full name as being the sender and that your reply to address is correctly applied. Typographical style should be clear, simple confident and in a business-like language, as you would use when composing a letter. Do not use slang or abbreviations. Stakeholder email signatures As a stake holder, you may wish and are actively encouraged to include the AGP logo on your signature. Please follow the guidelines set out in this document with regard to size, positioning and exclusion zones. Good housekeeping dictates that emails should be archived for future reference in the same way that you would do with written correspondence.
.19 The digital environment. Websites, online advertising, emailer campaigns and any other digital application use, offers unique opportunities to effectively communicate and engage with our audiences. Use of the AGP Brand identity in these instances, should follow the same criteria as set our in this document. There are specific logo images available through the Stakeholder Hub, which should be used on digital materials, both for internal and external use.
Presentations. Digital presentations. Presentations are an every day necessity for our business and offer a unique opportunity to express and reinforce our identity to key audiences. It is therefore vital to ensure that our presentations are professional and effective. To this end, we have developed a specific presentation template that is available through our Stakeholder Hub. For our stakeholders using their own branded templates, but wishing to highlight the AGP reference, the Brand logo can be displayed as shown here and by following the guidelines in this document.
.21 Exhibition and display. It is important to reflect the principles of our Brand in the design and production of exhibition and display stands, consistently using the core basic elements such as logo, colours and typefaces. Quality of finish and clarity of message are of paramount importance, as are the rules and principles detailed within these pages. Where stakeholders simply wish to include the AGP branding as part of their own corporate stand, the same principles apply. Image reproduced with the kind permission of Airbus UK.
