In 1987, <strong>GE</strong> introduced an identity program<br />

built around the primary <strong>GE</strong> trademarks.<br />

The program includes a number of features:<br />

New names help to communicate the Company’s<br />

integrated diversity clearly and concisely.<br />

A graphic system featuring new signatures,<br />

typography, and colors (see page 11) helps to<br />

communicate <strong>GE</strong>’s attributes of dynamism and<br />

innovation while preserving reliability and quality.<br />

<strong>GE</strong> Identity Overview 350.10<br />

Reliability and quality are conveyed by<br />

• continuing use of the Monogram, a 100-year-old<br />

symbol that is familiar and trusted<br />

•standardizing the color of the Monogram to<br />

Platinum Grey, creating a classic and distinguished<br />

presentation<br />

•using a serif typeface, ITC New Baskerville,<br />

suggesting traditional qualities<br />

Dynamism and innovation are conveyed by<br />

•using a signature that provides a contemporary<br />

environment for the Monogram; the graphic<br />

signature features<br />

- the Laser Line, suggesting high technology<br />

- the italic typeface Univers, suggesting forward<br />

movement<br />

- an asymmetrical layout, conveying movement with<br />

its visual tension<br />

• selectively using a portion of the Monogram on<br />

a large scale—the Dynamic Monogram—suggesting<br />

that the brand is too dynamic to be contained<br />

Application standards controlling the use of the<br />

graphic system in all media help to simplify,<br />

modernize, and unify all communications.<br />

<strong>GE</strong> Identity Program documents containing basic<br />

standards and application guidelines assist in the<br />

implementation of the program and help protect<br />

the value of the <strong>GE</strong> identity.<br />
