Logo Guidelines Please review these instructions before submitting your company logo: Name the file after your company. Hint for making your company's logo "pop"... If you have a version of the company logo without a tagline, submit it! Logos will be sized down on our Web site and in our On-Site Guide, taglines may be unreadable at this scale. It s preferred that logos be created in VECTOR-based application, such as Adobe Illustrator. Avoid sending the logo in bitmap formats such as JPG and TIFF. Do not send GIF and PNG formatted logos. Importing a bitmap file (JPG or TIF for instance) of the logo into Adobe Illustrator and saving as an AI or EPS file won't change the fact that it's a bitmap. Ask your graphics department or advertising agency to supply a file in the correct format. All fonts must be changed to outlines. Avoid sending white or light colored logos since they will be placed on white backgrounds. Files must be saved with their format on the end of the name (i.e.: companylogo.eps). If your company has a Web-safe colored logo in a vector-based format, supply it as well, but be sure its named as such example: companyx_web.eps. Per SAP branding guidelines, do not use/mention "SAP" in a tagline or logo graphics. For questions regarding the above, please contact Noelle Fischer at n.fischer@sap.com. Page 13
