LIGNIAWood made for life Ultimate strength and durability come in many forms.

They can be found in the surviving of daily challenges – whether human, elemental or otherwise.

You’ll find them in the small wins over uncontrollable forces. In the never quitting. In the toughing it out. In the hard months that turn into rewarding decades.

Through it all, LIGNIA will be on (and by) the customer’s side. It’ll be there through the scrapes, wears, tears, ups, downs, hots, colds, storms and sunshine. Unmoving. Enduringly beautiful.

It lasts so that the planet’s resources can do the same. It more than matches the performance of the best nature has to offer. And it does it all with style, substance and stability.

It’s timber with real backbone. It’s wood with heart.

It’s in it for the long run.

LIGNIA. It’s made for life.

TALKING THE TALK OUR TONE OF VOICEUnderstanding who we talk to and what we talk about are key when expressing ourselves.

But just as important is how we talk – our tone of voice.

The way we communicate with our audience sets the tone for how they feel about us.

But what sets the tone for, well, our tone?

Our LIGNIA brand personality.

Whatever the audience, the way we talk to the world should always convey the essence of this personality.

NIKE IS RIGHT. JUST DO IT!

Forget the technical-ly grammar-y side of it all. Instead, just remember to always use active words and make sure LIGNIA is the one doing said action.

It’s far more powerful, motivational and memorable to the reader.

DON’T FEAR THE APOSTROPHE Always use contractions where you can.

The best brands do it. Why? Because they make messages sound more natural, more conversational.

Write how you talk – you talk using contractions.

ACTIVE VS PASSIVE

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTIONEvery wonder why the greatest adverts ask a direct question? It’s because questions directly address the reader. This forces them to engage. Talking at them doesn’t.

It’s the difference between ‘Can you hear me?’ and ‘Hear me now!’

RESPECT YOUR AUDIENCE How? By avoiding two things:

• Jargon• Complicated words

No one likes jargon. No one. It creates a sense of mistrust and unease, a sense that brands are trying to cover up a lack of substance with style. With the fluffy stuff.

And don’t get in your own way by trying to be too ‘smart’. It kills rapport faster than you can say ‘thesaurus’.

SIZE MATTERS Keep sentences short and punchy.

Truly powerful copy conveys the big idea in a heartbeat.

Unnecessary words just dilute the message.

Shorter sentences boost the likelihood of action being taken too.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE? (THAT’S ACTUALLY TWO QUESTIONS) We are. LIGNIA is.

Let us explain…

When referencing LIGNIA’s people, use the plural.

Here at LIGNIA we love a good cup of tea.

Forget Bondi, our hearts belong to Barry Island.

When referring to LIGNIA as an entity, use the singular.

LIGNIA is based in Barry Island.

LIGNIA is home to serial cups-of-tea drinkers.

WE’RE IN IT TOGETHER We. Us. Together. We’ll. Let’s. All.

Use the collective voice. It creates a greater sense of community and a deeper rapport with the audience.

Here at LIGNIA, we believe…

Let’s build a better future together.

Page 13: BRAND STANDARDS - LIGNIA · POWERPOINT TEMPLATE 42 WORKWEAR EXAMPLES 44 JOINT BRANDING 46. 4 LIGNIA is wood made for life Fire and rot resistant, even in extreme marine conditions,

13

CAPITALISING ON OUR BRAND When referring to LIGNIA in any sense of the word (whether it be company or product), always use uppercase characters.

It creates a bold statement in and of itself and reinforces the power of our products.

Any other proper noun (name) is treated as such – with a capital letter at the beginning only.

LIGNIALIGNIA YachtLIGNIA Fire

IN ADDITION… The ampersand (&) is a symbol for and. However, you should always use it sparingly.

So, when is it fit for purpose?

• In graphs, diagrams, tables or parenthesis when space is limited

• In company names that are themselves abbreviations (e.g. AT&T) *

• In commonly-known shortened expressions (e.g. R&D, Rock & Roll, Health & Safety)

* Note that there are no spaces either side here.

TRADING PLACESOur trademark should always be applied to the first occurrence of the word LIGNIA in any marketing collateral.

After that, we’ve made our point. We don’t need to apply the symbol again in the same piece of content.

It avoids text looking too cluttered and distracting from our (rather amazing) messages.

OUR SIGNATURE STYLE Our logo is our most valuable visual asset.

If used correctly, it’s also our most powerful.

It’s the foundation of our entire visual identity, our unique signature, and the cornerstone of the LIGNIA brand.

As such, it should convey everything that LIGNIA represents. Instantly.

THE LIGNIA LOGO

Page 15: BRAND STANDARDS - LIGNIA · POWERPOINT TEMPLATE 42 WORKWEAR EXAMPLES 44 JOINT BRANDING 46. 4 LIGNIA is wood made for life Fire and rot resistant, even in extreme marine conditions,

15

WHAT’S IN A LOGO?

The LIGNIA master brand logo is bold, but not brash. It avoids the acidic green typified by recycling brands. Instead, it replicates the colour of sunlight viewed through a leaf.

The elongated tree with wide canopy incorporated into the ‘A’ is a nod to LIGNIA’s performance, which more than matches that of tropical hardwood.

HOW TO USE THE LOGO

To protect our logo text from interference, it must always be surrounded by an area of 1/3 the X height of the logotype. No other graphic element or typography must enter this area.

This ensures that no matter what background the logo sits on top of, it remains prominent and recognisable – even when used across third-party communications.

A MARK OF LUXURY

Our LIGNIA Yacht logo retains a clear connection to that of the master brand.

The tropical hardwood tree remains, to really hit home that LIGNIA is the sustainable alternative to Burmese Teak.

And, as with the master logo, note the subtly softened edges of the ‘N’, enhancing the curvature of the ‘G’ to subconsciously convey a warm approachability to the brand.

19

WHAT’S IN A LOGO?

In keeping with the master logo, the colour here is vibrant, but this time reminiscent of azure skies and cool, sparkling waters.

It fuses old-school class with contemporary luxury to convey a timeless elegance, much like the decks on which LIGNIA Yacht will feature.

A SYMBOLOF TRUST

LIGNIA Fire more than matches the power of the elements.

It’s a reliable force, unwavering, undaunted, determined. So while its logo retains the sharp elegance of the LIGNIA Yacht alternative, and the lustre of the LIGNIA master offering, it is also solid and commanding.

The product is rocklike in its steadfastness and reassuring in its protective abilities. Both of which are expressed through the use of colour and type here.

THE LIGNIA FIRE LOGO

Page 23: BRAND STANDARDS - LIGNIA · POWERPOINT TEMPLATE 42 WORKWEAR EXAMPLES 44 JOINT BRANDING 46. 4 LIGNIA is wood made for life Fire and rot resistant, even in extreme marine conditions,

23

WHAT’S IN A LOGO?

LIGNIA Fire delivers all the benefits of LIGNIA, with the superiority of fire retardancy. So its logo colours are reflective of those used in the master brand.

The crisp white type emphasises the product’s tireless, youthful beauty, while the contrasting LIGNIA Grey background lends a profound gravitas, and a sense of vigour and power.

LOGO PLACEMENT: PRINTED LITERATURE

Our logo may be placed in two main positions on the covers of printed literature – top left or top right.

You can easily determine logo size by dividing the width of the page into a 20 unit grid.

The logo should then be:• 6 units wide • Placed 2 units from the edge of

the paper (either left or right)• Placed 1 unit from the top• Sat in an extended area of

LIGNIA Green that bleeds upwards off the page by 1 unit.

For our LIGNIA Yacht andLIGNIA Fire logos, the sameprocedure applies.

PRIMARY COLOURS

LIGNIA (and LIGNIA Fire)Our product is pretty powerful. So our colour palette reflects that.

LIGNIA Green represents freshness, growth and vitality.

Our LIGNIA Grey adds warmth, strength and depth to the mix.

The contrast between the two forges a brand that truly stands out from the crowd.

LIGNIA (AND LIGNIA FIRE)

LIGNIA YACHT

LIGNIA Yacht LIGNIA Aqua conveys a sense of calm, a deep intelligence, an even deeper stability.

NoteBoth logo colours are beautifully bold. But be careful with overuse – too much and they enter the realms of garish. Sit them on LIGNIA Grey and they will shine.

SECONDARY COLOURS Our supporting palette covers a wide range of bright tones, adding variety and dynamism to the LIGNIA brand.

SECONDARY COLOUR PALETTE

COLOUR USAGE Our primary colours should be used to create the main brand look and feel.

They’ve been selected to work perfectly together – a neutral grey contrasted with a bright highlight colour.

Our secondary colours should not sit on either LIGNIA Green or LIGNIA Aqua. But they can sit on LIGNIA Grey.

Secondary colours should be used mainly to illustrate data in graphs and charts.

NoteTry not to dominate any layouts with the secondary colour palette however. It will weaken the brand identity and cause confusion.

LOOK HERE!

Our insignia is a highlighting tool. A signpost for important messages. A visual way of shouting ‘Look!’ or ‘Listen!’.

In other words, it’s a way of attracting attention.

It’s also the perfect graphic device to aid layout with angles that are sympathetic to its shape.

Think of it as your multitasking friend – an instant reinforcer of the LIGNIA brand, a punctuation point to pull the reader in, and a graphic guide for shapes and angles within a page.

THE INSIGNIA

Keep it in our primary colours, or reverse it out of them.

Important to noteThe insignia is not to be used instead of our logo. It must not be employed solely in communications. The insignia enhances the logo; it doesn’t replace it.

OUR TYPEFACES

Headline font = GothamWe produce the most durable modified wood available. This is a bold move and we have bold things to say about it. So our primary font reflects this.

Gotham is a contemporary sans serif that makes for clear and concise headlines.

Its strength and inherent simplicity allow our communications to last the test of time.

MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT WITH GOTHAMBut fill in the details with Apex Sans

Body copy = Apex SansIt’s a fresh, elegant, and multi-purpose modern sans design. Forward-looking but not futuristic, precise but not cold and geometric. It complements the simplicity of our headline font and is very easy to read.

Other = Calibri When it comes to office/internal communication platforms such as PowerPoint and Microsoft Word, it may not be advisable or possible to use LIGNIA’s house fonts. In these cases, Calibri should be introduced.

THE FOUNDATIONS OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGN We use a flexible 12-column grid for all our literature, taking into account two key elements:

• Typography • Graphics

Typography grid A 12-column grid with 4 mm gutters and a 12 mm margin allows for a wide range of layout options. This means our communications can easily

adapt to most needs. Illustrated opposite are just a handful of the many variations possible.

Graphics area This is the zone in which the typography or ‘type’ grid sits. Its purpose? To create a safe area of 4 mm that ensures typography doesn’t butt right up to the edge of any colour block or graphic. It also dictates the boundary of a white border around layouts.

THE (SLIGHTLY COMPRESSED) FOUNDATIONS OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGN By their very nature, brochures should be portable and compact. So we’ve taken the same grid rules that apply to our standard A4 documents (see previous spread), and just made the height a wee bit shorter. Simple.

POWERPOINT TEMPLATE

Powerpoint templateAvailable from LIGNIA marketing upon request.

Chapter title Should feature (where possible) on each page. It gives a reminder of the current slide chapter. It can however be omitted if it interferes with imagery or if space for information of more importance is needed.

Cover page and dividing slides The standard font size for headers/subheaders should be 44 pt/28 pt, line height of 0.9. However there may be cases where the header size can be increased to produce a more visually balanced slide.

Presentation pages – text Headers: 32 pt, line height: 0.9.

Body copy: 16 pt/28 pt, line height: 0.9.

Page numbers Should feature on every slideand be colour themed in line with the rest of the page.

Logo The logo should always be the same size and in the same position on every slide and should always be visible (in line with these guidelines). This could mean applying different versions depending on the background.

General slide adviceIn most cases text should be leftaligned. There may however beslide layouts that suit centredtext. This should be applied withconsideration and care to theaesthetic of the design.

Diagrams and chartsSecondary colours should be used sparingly – ideally only one per page. Tints should be used to differentiate between sections of a chart or graph.

HOW TO USE OUR LOGO

As a rule, partner logos shouldbe of equal visual standing.To ensure this, logos musteither be of equal height orequal width, depending onhow they are positioned.
