Introduction
A strong and consistent brand identity is one of a companys most valuable assets. It permits advertising and other communications to be consistent on an international basis and provides consumers anywhere in the world with instantly recognizable products that they can understand and trust. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a tool for consistency in the design and use of the Delo brand identity and all the related products, advertising and marketing materials that are produced worldwide. Consistent application and precise reproduction of the approved trademarks and graphic design elements will strengthen the image of our brand and all our products. The product packaging is designed to meet the needs of the different global marketing areas. The package graphics work together to reinforce the Delo brand identity. Individual countries may have particular requirements, especially with respect to incorporating two or more languages. This manual was designed to maintain consistency and be exible enough to accommodate local requirements. The integrity of the Delo brand and all its products depends on a conscious effort to maintain the standards in these guidelines. All standards for signature use including color, clear space, minimum size, typography and proper placement of brand and corporate endorsements must be strictly adhered to for successful branding applications, from collateral and signage to packaging and promotional merchandise.

Ensure that a clear space of .5z is maintained around the wordmark, where z is the height of D in the wordmark. More than this is always acceptable. Also remember to leave at least this distance between the wordmark and the edge of the page or label where it appears.

The Caltex brand endorsement has two preferred usages: one is the reverse brand endorsement on a Delo Blue background; the other is the positive brand endorsement on a white background. Note the differences between the two versions: the color of the Caltex logotype and the ring around the Caltex Star. The minimum size for the Caltex brand endorsement is .347/8.81mm, measuring from the top of the Caltex Star to the baseline of the Caltex logotype. Ensuring that the endorsement always appears at this size or larger will keep it legible and visible.

Color Specications
The Caltex Delo brand colors can be reproduced in a variety of ways. When printing, spot inks provide the most consistent match to our brand colors and their use in strongly recommended. We specify spot ink alternatives to our brand colors with PANTONE colors, the standards for which are shown in the current edition of the PANTONE formula guide. No matter how you are reproducing color, you should try to provide the best possible match to the alternative PANTONE color. Four-color process (CMYK) printing can also be used. The appropriate percentages of the four process inks are shown here. When specifying colors on the Web, you may need a hexadecimal alternative of our brand colors. The appropriate codes are shown in the table.

Use these secondary typefaces for non-packaging applications, such as print advertising and marketing materials.
03.06
Shown here are examples of incorrect usage. Mistakes can be avoided by always using approved artwork les and leaving them intact and unaltered, as well as by familiarizing yourself thoroughly with the contents of these guidelines. In case of doubt regarding proper usage, please contact your Regional Brand & Marketing Manager.
Do not violate rules on clear space and size relationships between elements.
Make sure there is enough contrast between the wordmark and the color background.
03.07
It is important to maintain a clear relationship between the Delo wordmark and endorsements. Be sure to size the elements as shown here, and be extremely careful to maintain the minimum distance between them that is described below. Where the height of D in the Delo wordmark is z (.347/8.81mm minimum), the height of the Caltex brand endorsement should also be z. The height of the corporate endorsement should be .15z. It is also critical that elements be separated from each other by a minimum distance. The minimum distance between the Delo wordmark and the Caltex brand endorsement is 3z (see product label example on page 03.09). The minimum distance between the brand endorsement and the corporate endorsement is 1.25z when arranged horizontally or .65z when stacked vertically.

Collateral Usage
In all collateral, it is important to ensure that the Delo wordmark and the brand and corporate endorsements are placed prominently. All standards in these guidelines regarding proper usage including clear space, minimum sizes and distances, and color usage must be strictly followed. Similar documents (e.g. a series of brochures or advertisements) should be systematized to achieve consistent placement of all brand elements. This can add instant visual recognition that reinforces the power of the brand. When brand signatures appear on photographic backgrounds, please ensure that the area within the signatures clear space is free of visual distractions and provides sufcient contrast for the signature to stand out clearly.
