4 BASICS
5 BASICS TYPEFACES
6 TYPEFACES Two main typefaces are used for digital media: Helvetica Neue and Arial. Helvetica Neue is used for headings, for highlighting key information and for all browsing tools (main menu bar, buttons, links, etc.) Arial is used for body text and secondary information. Helvetica Neue is not available for all alphabets. Below is a list of the fonts that can be used on digital media for various alphabets: 1 2 3 4 Countries using a Latin or Arabic alphabet: - Helvetica Neue 37 Thin Condensed - Helvetica Neue 47 Light Condensed - Helvetica Neue 67 Medium Condensed - Helvetica Neue 77 Bold Condensed - Arial Countries using Chinese characters: - M Hei PRC Light - M Hei PRC Medium - M Hei PRC Bold - M Hei PRC Xbold - Arial Countries using the Korean (Hangul) alphabet: - YD Gothic Light - YD Gothic Medium - YD Gothic Bold - Arial Countries using a Cyrillic alphabet: - Neue Helvetica Cyrillic 35 Thin - Neue Helvetica Cyrillic 45 Light Helvetica Neue and its variations for other alphabets can look different depending on the navigator used.
7 BASICS COLORS
8 COLORS The color specifications are compliant with W3C s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This means that they ensure content is readable on any type of screen. Color specifications are designed to provide sufficient contrast and appropriate readability. The W3C-WCAG accessibility guidelines recommend two contrast ratios: 3:1 = for text or solid color swatches that are large enough to provide easy readability. 4.5:1 = for smaller text or solid color swatches that are more difficult to read. All of the colors presented opposite have a contrast ratio of 4.5:1, except #DB7E04 orange which has a ratio of 3:1. In order to ensure optimal readability, #DB7E04 orange must not be used for texts or solid color swatches. The color palette is organized into three levels. 1 2 3 Level 1 Level 1 is made up of three colors: Total red, a warm grey and a crimson red. Total red is the brand s identifying color, which we must capitalize on. It should be preferred to other colors and be present even in small swatches. The warm grey and the crimson red complement this level to allow for as great a use as possible. Level 2 Accompanying colors designed to enhance the digital expression of the brand. All Level 2 colors are derived from the logo. Level 3 Minor colors used for smaller items, such as graphics or data visualization.
9 BASICS BACKGROUNDS
10 BACKGROUNDS Three background colors can be used on digital media: 1 1 White background This background must only be used as the text box. In this case, the typefaces must be in Total red or dark grey. The color blocks that can be used against this white background are Total red, crimson red and light grey. 2 3 Light gray background This background must only be used with Total red, crimson red, and white color blocks. Shaded background This background must only be used with Total red, crimson red and white color blocks. 2 Dark grey Color #f8f8f8 No other background is allowed. 3 Shaded background Creation of a pattern then application of the pattern Color #e8e8e8 Background color #f8f8f8
11 BASICS BRAND-BLOCK PRESENTATION CLEAR SPACE AND MINIMUM SIZE INCORRECT USAGE
12 BRAND-BLOCK PRESENTATION The reference brand-block is made up of three components: - The symbol depicting energy currents. - The Total name in the trademark typeface. - The Committed to Better Energy, baseline written in Helvetica Neue 77 Bold Condensed. The reference brand-block is its horizontal configuration. The vertical logo may only be used on social networks and for unusual banner formats. Red R 225 - V 0 - B 50 Dark blue R0 - V65 - B150 Light blue R75 - V150 - B205 Yellow R245 - V150 - B0 Grey R113 - V113 - B113
13 BRAND-BLOCK CLEAR SPACE AND MINIMUM SIZE Clear space A clear space is left around the brand-block to protect readability. This clear space area is standardized in line with the size of the brand-block. It must be free of graphic components such as objects and text. x x x x x Minimum size: 209 pixels This is the minimum width of the brand-block. To protect readability, the brand-block should never be reduced below this size. 209 pixels
14 BRAND-BLOCK INCORRECT USAGE The brand-block guidelines are mandatory. No modifications in the color or shape of the logo symbol are allowed. Commited to better energy Commited to better energy Suspendisse lectus tortor, adipis nec dignit sit amet, ultricies sed, dolor. Lorem ipsum dolor sit Suspendisse lectus tortor, adipis nec dignit sit amet, ultricies sed, dolor. Lorem ipsum dolor sit brand-block brand-block The energy sphere must be accompanied by the Committed to Better Energy baseline. No movement is allowed for the brand-block or any of its components. Do not present the brand-block against Do not a colored, present the black brand-block or complex against background. a colored, black or complex background.
15 BASICS BRAND-BLOCK BAND CONSTRUCTION INCORRECT USAGE
16 BRAND-BLOCK BAND CONSTRUCTION The gradient band around the brand-block is an integral part of Total s graphic style. It is constructed in a specific way to create a consistent look for the Group s publications. The diagram below shows how the band is created using Adobe Illustrator. The brand-block may be used without its band for tablet and smartphone applications. The brand-block band contains nothing but the brand-block. Technical specifications The gradient is linear. The height of the band depends on the digital media used. Its width can vary. The position of the first two handles is flexible, so that the logo remains readable and the baseline continues to appear on a white background.
17 BRAND-BLOCK BAND INCORRECT USAGE The brand-block band guidelines are mandatory. No modifications in the color or shape of the logo symbol or typeface are allowed. Lorem ipsum nec dolores serum amet (see examples on page 12)
18 ARCHITECTURE
19 ARCHITECTURE FLAT DESIGN
20 FLAT DESIGN Total s websites are developed in flat design. Flat design uses short texts, extremely simple forms, eye-catching pictures, solid colors, strong contrasts for readability, capitalized typefaces and grid-based content display.
21 ARCHITECTURE RESPONSIVE DESIGN
22 RESPONSIVE DESIGN Responsive design is a web design approach that enables websites to automatically adapt to the user s screen size. 1 Total s websites must be built using a responsive design approach that enables them to adapt to four different screen sizes. Their construction is based on resolutions rather than devices. The responsive design approach is used with breakpoints. Each breakpoint requires a suitable format. 1 Tablet (landscape) and desktop computer Width: 960 pixels. Height: 82 pixels. 2 3 2 Tablet (portrait) Width: 720 pixels. Height: 82 pixels. 3 Smartphone (landscape) Width: 480 pixels. Heigth: 60 pixels. 4 Smartphone (portrait) Width: 320 pixels. Height: 60 pixels. 4 N.B.: All pages must be centered by width. The page width is 1,420 pixels centered with useable area of 960 pixels. There is therefore a bleed of up to 1,420 pixels. Beyond 1,420 pixels, the background remains white.
