The (dark) Oxford blue is used primarily in general page furniture such as the backgrounds on the header and footer. This makes for a strong brand presence throughout the site. Because it features so strongly in these areas, it is not recommended to use it in large areas elsewhere.

These colours reflect our diverse landscape. The consistent use of these core colours defines and reinforces our distinctive character and should be used on all communications and promotional materials. We have enlisted the standards of the Pantone Matching System (PMS), which is a universally recognized colour matching system based on lithography printing inks. The colour palettes include specific spot colour references for both coated and uncoated paper stocks (please note that these numbers may differ due to the way inks appear on different stocks) and process match breakdowns (CMYK) for printing applications with limited budgets. Also included are RGB equivalents for use in word processing and presentation software as well as hexadecimal equivalents for emitted light and web applications. https://corporateidentity.alberta.ca/downloads/Alberta_Corporate_Identity_Manual.pdf

http://www.barbican.org.uk/branding/ 52 51 Rules and tools Celebrate our flexibility and creativity There’s a lot you can do with our carrier. So do it. Experiment with its form and scale. Is there a new way you can apply it, position it, repeat it, or use it to represent an idea such as music or movement or the passage of time? Play with flat colour and gradients or place images within it. Don’t be systematic or samey. Explore, experiment. There’s only one rule. Don’t reduce the carrier to just decoration; always give it a function, a meaning. Whether you use it to hold information, an image or to add flow to a composition, always try to relate its use to the content. But while the carrier is an important part of our visual identity, don’t feel you have to use it in every communication. If it doesn’t add anything meaningful or starts to look like decoration, leave it out. We recommend using no more than three carriers in a single communication. Carrier

25 Adobe Corporate Brand Guidelines | Adobe Confidential | 25 October 2010 Primary typeface - Adobe Clean ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 01234567890 =~!@#$%^&*()+[]\{}|:;’:”<>?,./ Adobe Clean should be used for headlines and may be used for copy. Short headlines or labels can be all caps, otherwise headlines and subheads are sentence case. The introduction of the proprietary typeface Adobe Clean in April 2009 was to help differentiate Adobe in the marketplace. It replaces the previous sans serif corporate font, Myriad Pro. It will not be available for license to the general public. To use Adobe Clean well along side the corporate logo, which continues to use Myriad Pro, avoid condensed or extended type. Adobe Clean Light Adobe Clean Light Italic Adobe Clean Regular Adobe Clean Italic Adobe Clean Bold Adobe Clean Bold Italic Adobe Clean SemiCondensed Adobe Clean SemiCondensed Italic Adobe Clean Bold SemiCondensed Adobe Clean Bold SemiCondensed Italic Note: Alternate glyphs are available for the letter “g” and number “1” in Adobe Clean Regular. Secondary type face - Minion Pro ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 01234567890 =~!@#$%^&*()+[]\{}|:;’:”<>?,./ Minion Pro should be used primarily for extended running body copy in longer, multiple-page documents, such as brochures and datasheets. Avoid using weights other than Minion Pro Regular. Use Minion Pro SemiCondensed Bold for emphasis when needed. Avoid using Minion smaller than 9pt. Use standard numerals; do not use Minion’s Old Style numerals. Minion Pro Semibold Condensed Minion Pro Semibold Condensed Italic Minion Pro Regular Minion Pro Italic Minion Pro Semibold Minion Pro Semibold Italic Minion Pro Bold Minion Pro Bold Italic Typography: Corporate typefaces As with our logo, consistent use of our corporate typefaces—Adobe Clean and Minion® Pro—reinforces Adobe’s brand identity. Both are OpenType™, a cross-platform format that provides richer linguistic support through widely expanded character sets and advanced layout features. Both fonts are available for download from Marketing Hub under Corporate > Corporate Fonts.
