Brand Identity Guidelines Disclaimer Welcome to Applied Materials’ new brand standards—or most of them.
To Applied Materials’ Employees Except for the logo, everything in this book has been approved. We felt
it would be better to introduce the brand identity guidelines now than to
surprise you just before SEMICON. Use it with confidence, but please be
aware that we may have to change the logo. We’ll let you know as soon
as a final design is approved.
Thank you!

the corporate identity
The Corporate Identity The Applied Materials’ corporate identity is the main visual element that When we use “a” and the logotype together, we put them side-by-side,
Applied Materials’ Logo identifies and represents our company. Using it consistently will support in what we call the “lockup.”
our position in the global marketplace.
We only use the “a” as a solo graphic element when the logotype is on
Our identity has two components: the Applied “a” mark and the logotype the same page.
“Applied Materials.” Here are the basic rules:
We never, ever crop or partially obscure the “a.”
We never design special logos for individual products or groups.
All product logos must be approved by Brand Compliance and created
by corporate graphics or our design house. All current and future logo
designs are available from corporate headquarters.

Evolution, Not Revolution
the logotype
Logo
All we’ve done to the logo is commission a cus-

tom font for the logotype, and establish a single
way to use it with the symbol. The changes are
so subtle you may ask, “why bother?”
It’s a matter of visual semantics. The old serif
font said “traditional craft,” whereas we create
leading-edge technology. Besides, serifs break
up on screen, where many of our communica-
tions are seen now. That explains the switch
to sans serif. We chose this particular font
because it evokes the “mathematical reason-
ing of an engineer,” as the font designers put
it. To translate; the wide counters and slightly
squared forms are as stable and solid as we are.

Graphic Element
One way to create visual unity when

you’re working with a huge range of
subjects and contents is to frame things
consistently. Think of a gallery with
several artists’ work. If the frames are
the same, visitors will understand that a
single entity is presenting the art.
Our frame’s upper left corner is always
trimmed at 45 degrees (we stole that
idea from the “a” symbol). The other
three corners utilize a rounded seven-
millimeter radius.
As you’ll see further on, the new system
gives you a lot of leeway with grids and
imagery. This frame, the logo, and the
typography are the elements that hold
our identity together.

Graphic Element
For an average 8.5" by 11" or A4 page:

1 2
1 Set 3/16 inch (4.7625 mm) margins.
2 Draw a box along the margins with 7mm radius corners.
3 At the upper left corner of the margins, draw a 1/4 inch

(19.05 mm) square.
4 Delete the bottom right point of the square. Use the resulting
triangle to subtract from the box or to mask the radius corner.
For very smalll and very large formats, you can adjust these
dimensions proportionally.
3 4
For formats smaller than 5"x7" (12.7cm x 17.78 cm), you may
want to decrease the size of the radius corners and the depth of
the angled edge a bit.
For formats larger than 11"x17" (27.94 cm x 43.18 cm), you may
want to slightly increase the size of the radius corner and depth
of the angled edge.

Anatomy of An Illustration
These illustrations support our
primary corporate message: Applied
Materials helps customers develop and
commercialize new technology.
A typical illustration shows an Applied
Materials tool with a flow graphic that
leads to an end-user device.
Our tools and devices are drawn in
thin, crisp lines, with spot colors that
add dimension and visual interest.
Color fields, often with radius corners,
separate our technology from our
customers’ end products.
Graphics break through the color fields Illustrations Have Borders
to create openness, flow, and energy. Notice that there is always a white border around the
illustration—the standard we use for the literature
system also applies here.

we have black and white drawings for:

Tagline Color
coloring the phrases
Think it. Apply it.
You can use the tagline in any color, as long

as it creates a clear contrast with the
background. However, there are only two
1. 2.
ways to use color:
1. One Color
Both phrases can be set in the same color.
2. Two Colors
Each phrase can be a different color. For
example, “think it” can be blue and “apply
it” can be orange, as shown here.
Please don’t color just one word in a
phrase. For example, “think” and “it” can’t
be different colors. That turns the phrase
into disconnected words (and creates a
terribly inappropriate carnival air.)

Tagline Trademark
trademark icon
Think it. Apply it.
The ™ symbol has to appear after “apply

it” in the first usage in any piece of
communication. It’s a legal thing.
The vertical stroke of the “T” in ™ aligns
with the left side of the period. The top
of the “T” in ™ aligns with the top of the
“t” in “it”.
The ™ symbol is set in Helvetica Neue
Light at about 1/4 the size of the tagline.
For example, if the tagline is set in 60
point, the ™ is set in 15 point.
For very large applications, you’ll want to
reduce the ™ symbol so it doesn’t take
attention away from the tagline. It should
still, of course, be big enough to read.

Using The Tagline With The Logo
the tagline and the logo
Think it. Apply it.
The tagline can be used in a lock-up with the 2X

corporate logo. You’ll often use it this way as
a signature element in the lower right corner
of a brochure or advertisement.
1X
To make this lock-up, use the one-line
tagline, and make it the same width as the 2X
words “Applied Materials.” Line up the right
edges of the letters, and let the period, the ®, 1X
and the ™ fall outside the guidelines.
Remember the force field around the logo?
This lockup has one, too. It’s based on the
cap height of “Applied,” which we’ll call X.
Place the tagline at least 1X beneath the
2X
logo. Leave at least 2X of clear space around
the lock-up. You can always give it more
space—but never less.
