Logo protected zone

The protected zone of the KWC logo is 1/6 of the logo width on all sides; this subdivision is marked X. No graphic or text elements may appear within this zone.

This protected zone must always be guaranteed. The reference values for the logo image sizes are explained under Logo Size.

Logo versions with claim are subject to the same protected zone.

Logo size

Reference values for the image sizes of all common formats are defined in the table shown.

 

For the common DIN formats, the width of the logo is always 3 units. This unit of measurement is derived from the format size, see Basic Elements Design Principle.

In the case of DIN format deviations, in order to avoid inconsistency and to create more standardisation, the logo size of the nearest DIN format is selected in relation to the relevant format size. The same logo size should be chosen for media that are considered connected or as one (e.g. letterhead and business card).

For extreme formats, the requirements of the medium must be taken into account, for example, whether the medium is viewed from a distance or whether it is viewed in connection with other media; the logo is adapted accordingly.

The same logo size is chosen for letterhead and business card, as they are considered connected or as one.

Roll-up: as long-distance visibility must be guaranteed here, the logo is extended to 4 units.

Logo colour scheme

The KWC logo colour scheme is used according to the following hierarchy:

01. General use
Primarily, the KWC logo is used in KWC Red, against the background KWC Deep Blue, White or an image background. On images, it is used in KWC Red or negative, depending on the background.

02. Relative to the brand
The logo is always negative on the colour KWC Red. This combination is used in connection with the brand.

03. 1C design
The logo is also available in black for 1C designs, for example, for less cost-intensive designs.

Logo positioning

The logo is so bold and strong that it can be placed freely in the layout. Any medium, analogue or digital, can be served with this variation.

Ideally, the logo should always be placed in a corner of the layout or the brand field. For media of a connected group, the logo has a consistent place, for example, for advertisements, supplements and brochures, see Basic Elements Design Examples.

Always note the protected zone of the logo and the protected space of the layout, which is defined by the units.

Depending on the application, the logo can also be used prominently (e.g. in the centre).

The logo can be positioned outside as well as inside the brand field according to the given rules.

This can be very helpful when working with busy backgrounds.

The logo has a consistent place when it comes to media that belong together. These are determined by KWC Group Marketing.
