CORPORATE IDENTITY STANDARDS

2

WHAT ARE CORPORATE IDENTITY STANDARDS?

An organization’s logo is the single most important component of its identity. In order tomaintain a strong united brand across multiple entities, it is important to adhere tostandards. A corporate standards guide establishes the basis as to how a logo should andshould not be used. In doing so, the integrity of the corporate brand and vision aresimultaneously protected and promoted.

This WQED corporate identity guide informs and instructs employees, vendors and/orcustomers on how specific guidelines are to be applied for the entire organization.Consequently, the logo will continue to gain brand recognition and strength.

There is only ONE corporate logomark for the entire organization and it is a vertical mark.There are no horizontal adaptions.

If you have any questions regarding this quide or usage of the WQED brand and logomark,please contact one of the following members in the Marketing Department of WQED.
