A thematic graphic is<br />

an image used to suggest<br />

an idea relevant to the<br />

Company or its organizational<br />

elements,<br />

products, or services.<br />

It is used in place of<br />

logotypes, symbols, or<br />

other graphic devices<br />

that have served similar<br />

purposes in the past.<br />

Such logotypes or symbols<br />

create separate<br />

identities that compete<br />

with the <strong>GE</strong> identity and<br />

diminish its strength,<br />

contradicting a principal<br />

program goal to unify<br />

all Company communications.<br />

Thus, they are<br />

not used in <strong>GE</strong> Identity<br />

Program applications.<br />

Instead, when it is<br />

desirable to suggest<br />

a specific idea with<br />

an image, a thematic<br />

graphic is used.<br />

A thematic graphic is<br />

used as graphic support<br />

like the Dynamic Monogram—large,<br />

bled off<br />

the format, and reproduced<br />

in a subtle color<br />

of low contrast to the<br />

background. It is never<br />

given such prominence<br />

as to be misconstrued<br />

as a symbol for the<br />

Company or its organizational<br />

parts, products,<br />

or services. It may be<br />

used in combination<br />

with a photograph or<br />

illustration placed on<br />

the grid, as desired.<br />

Note: When a thematic<br />

graphic is used, a full<br />

graphic signature must<br />

also be used in the same<br />

format.<br />

The thematic graphic used<br />

in the examples is an image<br />

of a hawk derived from the<br />

logotype previously used by<br />

the Center for Advanced<br />

Airmanship. It is used for<br />

demonstration purposes only.<br />

regarding the use of this<br />

thematic graphic in specific<br />
