Use bands to contain and emphasize the graphic<br />

signature and supporting typography, if desired.<br />

•Connect bands around all panels and bleed at<br />

the top edge of each panel.<br />

•Use color in bands when color coding is required.<br />

Use the linear version of the Dynamic Monogram<br />

for graphic support, if desired, as shown on<br />

pages 11 to 13.<br />

• Use either<br />

- the circular version, which may extend into the<br />

left margin but not beyond the right edge of the<br />

signature Monogram<br />

- the bar version, which is aligned with the beginning<br />

of the signature typography<br />

•Bleed either version at the right and bottom<br />

edges of a panel. Do not wrap the remainder<br />

of the Dynamic Monogram around panel edges.<br />

• Featured and supporting typography and rules<br />

may overlap the Dynamic Monogram if the information<br />

remains legible. To help maintain the<br />

legibility of overlapping typography, use a second<br />

color in the Dynamic Monogram. Note: Do not<br />

overlap the Dynamic Monogram with a heavy<br />

(thick) bar.<br />

The linear Dynamic Monograms are provided<br />

in <strong>GE</strong> Logo Font, available from the <strong>GE</strong> Identity<br />

Website.<br />

Use product illustrations for graphic support in<br />

place of the Dynamic Monogram, if desired.<br />

Do not combine the Dynamic Monogram with<br />

an illustration on the same panel.<br />

Use color correctly.<br />

• In graphic signatures, use the corporate colors or<br />

black whenever possible. Note: Do not use<br />

Platinum Grey on kraft-colored stock because it<br />

provides insufficient contrast.<br />

• In either version of the linear Dynamic Monogram, use<br />

black or a dark color against kraft-colored stock.<br />

• In other elements, including featured and<br />

supporting typography, rules, bars, bands, and<br />

backgrounds, repeat colors used in the graphic<br />

signature or use any appropriate color that<br />

provides sufficient contrast to the background.<br />

For guidelines on color, see document 132, Color.<br />

Unify all sides of a shipping case or carton<br />

by consistently repeating elements.<br />

• Use a graphic signature on each printed panel<br />

with the same size of signature Monogram and<br />

the same thickness of Laser Line. Horizontally<br />

align the signatures.<br />

• Use the same size of signature typography,<br />

aligned horizontally, in each graphic signature<br />

whenever possible. Narrow side panels may<br />

require smaller signature typography than front<br />

and back panels.<br />

• Repeat featured typography and supporting<br />

typography as necessary and, if possible, use the<br />

same size and placement on each panel.<br />

- Use rules, bars, and bands of consistent thicknesses.<br />

- Use the fewest number of type sizes required to differentiate<br />

the information.<br />
