Lenovo WW Visual Identity Guidelines v7.0 August 2013 30


Example Applications

Corporate Presentations
It is important to project a consistent image
of the company through our internal and
external communications. The corporate
presentation template should be used for all
electronic presentations.

The preferred presentation aspect ratio is


16:9 which accommodates most modern
computer and presentation screen sizes.
A 4:3 template is also available for special
circumstances.

Printing Tip:
When printing 16:9, choose “Scale to fit
paper” from print dialogue. This will ensure
the whole slide is printed on your selected
paper size.

To download presentation templates,


click a link below:

• Lenovo Presentation Template (16x9)


• Lenovo Presentation Template (4x3)

Information Security:
Active presentations should be updated
in order to be compliant with new Lenovo
information security requirements.
Presentations containing restricted content
should use the following templates:

• Lenovo RESTRICTED Template (16x9)


• Lenovo RESTRICTED Template (4x3)

Example Applications

Sample Corporate Video Storyboard Video


Video is a powerful medium for expressing
our genuine, inspired and trusted Lenovo
brand characteristics. It brings the Lenovo
brand to life in new and exciting ways
and gives us an opportunity to create a
voice that engages our customers and
partners with fresh insights and thought-
provoking stories.

Opening/Closing Animations
Using the Lenovo logo in the opening and
closing frames is required. This nicely
bookends the video and offers a strong
reinforcement of our visual identity.

In the opening and closing frames, the


Lenovo lockup should always appear on a
black background.

For more detailed guidelines, video links


and assets, refer to the Lenovo WW
Video Guidelines available on Branding
Resources.

excellent opportunity to showcase our visual
identity to our shareholders. By combining
brand campaign imagery, color palette
and typography style, this communication
becomes very on-brand.

Example Applications

Lenovo.com
Lenovo.com is one of the most important
communicators of our brand. It is a rich,
complex, and ever-changing environment
that balances technology with searchable
and findable content, designs that follow
corporate and campaign guidelines, and
user experiences that are optimized to
convert visitors into customers.

But Lenovo.com is only one entity in


Lenovo’s digital universe. Dozens of co-
branded customer sites, internal tools,
and marketing sitelets now follow design
standards that define everything from
color palettes, font usage, and page
measurements to compatible browsers,
consistent interactive functions, and web
technologies. These standards support an
ongoing commitment to create a unified
family of digital properties.

A growing library of guidelines can be


found on Lenovo Central for internal use at:
Lenovo Web Style Guide.

Example Applications

Social Media
Social media is becoming globally pervasive
and allows for Lenovo to communicate on
a different level with customers, business
partners and many other audiences that
haven’t been reached before.

Our social media landscape includes:

• Lenovo Social: social.lenovo.com


• Lenovo Blogs: blog.lenovo.com
• Facebook: www.facebook.com/lenovo
• Twitter: twitter.com/lenovo
• YouTube: www.youtube.com/lenovo
• Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/
lenovophotolibrary
• GooglePlus: plus.google.
Lenovo Blogs Facebook com/u/1/115831017343671643958
• Instagram: instagram.com/lenovo/

With these new online opportunities, it


remains important to project the right visual
brand of Lenovo to the public. Do not create
your own blog, facebook, twitter or other
social media accounts without contacting
the Social Media team.

Example Applications

External Events
Three dimensional spaces offer a great
opportunity to bring the Lenovo brand to life.
A few scalable details to keep in mind when
designing for events:

• Promote the Lenovo master brand over


product brands.
• Doer brand campaign images can be used
as backdrops, however allow for areas of
black, white or mirrored spaces behind
products to allow the products to pop.
• Use quieter white pedestals to showcase
products. Think about imaginative ways
to position the systems so that the back
covers and product features can be
showcased.
• Product specification cards should be
succinct and informational.
• Utilize onscreen demos, Lenovo
screensavers and wallpapers to showcase
product features.

campaign into the work place is an
important aspect of building a positive and
energetic corporate culture. The applications

Brand Logos
ThinkPad product brand logos have been
created using specifically drawn characters.
This was done to make the marks unique
and difficult to duplicate. Never re-create or
set them in another type style.

Official logos can be downloaded from


Branding Resources.

Hierarchy
The Lenovo logo should have visual
prominence over the ThinkPad product
brand logos. Packaging, user interfaces
and products are a few places where this
may occur. Please respect the allowable
clearspace rules around the Lenovo logo.
Hierarchy
The height of a commercial product brand logo should not exceed 80% of the height of the Lenovo Logo Sizing is one way to accomplish this
hierarchy, but other variables could work:

Packaging
Most Think products will ship in either a
one or two color (red and black) color kraft
package. This “commercial” packaging
provides an excellent opportunity for brand
consistency across multiple Think product
brands using the ribbon element.

For premium products and accessories


that will be available in retail environments,

Packaging
An important customer touch point,
packaging creates an opportunity to
showcase the Lenovo brand attitude in
retail. The post purchase, or out-of-box
experience, is another way to connect with
users, and should be exceptional.

Our premium notebook products are sold


in a more expensive design—while the
mainstream and Lenovo Essential products
get less expensive product packaging.
