Global Guideline - a Wordmark

The wordmark is the most important identifier which represents SAMSUNG, i.e. it is the visual property of who we are and what we do. Therefore the shape, color and letter type should not be changed randomly. The color of the wordmark should be expressed in a way of consistent form on various media (printing, signs, etc.), and its accurate color, color value and hue should be maintained.

Color

Spot Color : Pantone 286C

4 Color process : C100% + M80%

IncorrectUses
(Theexamplesontheright illustrateincorrectcoloruse.)

Do not use the different color for wordmark logotype and the background color. These colors should be the same.

Do not use a wordmark color of similar value and hue as the background color. The lack of contrast impairs visibility.

Do not use a black wordmark on a colored background. Black is exclusively for use on white background.

Do not use a negative image of a wordmark on a bright background.

Do not use a blue wordmark on a dark background. The lack of contrast impairs visibility.

(Donotprintthewordmark insecondarySamsungcolors.)
Do not use colors for wordmarks other than the approved options.

(Donotchangetheshape ofthewordmark.)
Do not change the angle of the oval. Do not change the shape of the oval. Do not change the typeface of the logotype inside the wordmark.

Do not place the wordmark on a heavily textured background.

Do not reverse the color of the oval and logotype. (e.g. do not use Samsung Blue on the logotype)

Global Guideline - b SAMSUNG Line

Global Guideline - b SAMSUNG Line

Derived from the brand logo, the SAMSUNG Line is to be used as a graphic motive, conveying the brand image to users through constructing its identity among media.

Point

The SAMSUNG Line presents the associational effect of the brand logo to consumers as SAMSUNGs unique visual motive by applying the curve of the wordmark, which symbolizes SAMSUNG, on each medium. In global market, the oval is the only visual property, presented as a consistent form of Samsung, with exception of its brand name (Samsung). This is the reason why we should actively apply the Oval image to our graphic media design. Samsungs visual identity is provided to consumers by applying the Curve of the Samsung Wordmark. When applying an image inside the Curve, it is essential to consider the characteristics of each product or region in order to create the most efficient variation of design.

Why Oval

Variation

CriteriaforApplying theOvalCurve

The most important factor is the visual distinction, resulted from the different tone between inside and outside of the Oval Curve. - The sub factors (narrow lines or band) can be expressed on the curve to enhance the design, as long as they observe the rules shown above.

Global Guideline - c Type Styles

SAMSUNGs designated typefaces are Universe for English, Gothic for Korean. Universe should always be used in upper and lower case, using flush left, ragged right format. Universe Condensed 47 Light and 57 Regular are suitable choices for body text. They are also appropriate for headlines and captions. Universe 67 Bold is a suitable choice when the volume of text is small and emphasis is needed. It is also effective for headlines or sub headings. Garamond has been selected as the designated type for secondary usage because of its classic style, intimacy and soft image. Garamond can be used in sales sentences (or in soft sentences for explanation.)

Samsungs color system is developed for each business unit to project its best image and characteristics in the most efficient way. The color system, devised for unifying the visual images of each business unit or sales environment, is to promote the internal unity and to foster consistent identity externally.
