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 Dynamic Monogram for graphic support,<br />

if desired.<br />

• Use the three-quarter version of the Dynamic<br />

Monogram, bleeding at the right and bottom<br />

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

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

•Extend the Dynamic Monogram into the left<br />

margin, if desired, but not beyond the right edge<br />

of the signature Monogram.<br />

• Reproduce the Dynamic Monogram in a subtle<br />

color of low contrast to the background. When<br />

the number of colors is limited, use one of the<br />

linear versions of the Dynamic Monogram in<br />

<strong>GE</strong> Logo Font to achieve this subtle effect.<br />

Featured and supporting typography and rules<br />

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

remains legible. Note: Do not overlap the<br />

Dynamic Monogram with a heavy (thick) bar.<br />

For more information on the three-quarter<br />

Dynamic Monogram, see document 134, Dynamic<br />

Monogram, page 03. <strong>GE</strong> Logo Font is available<br />

from the <strong>GE</strong> Identity Website.<br />

Packaging Guidelines, continued<br />

<strong>GE</strong> Identity Program 220, Packaging <strong>GE</strong> Identity Website: www.ge.com/identity<br />

220.04<br />

Use product illustrations or photographs for<br />

graphic support in place of the Dynamic Monogram,<br />

if desired. Do not combine the Dynamic<br />

Monogram with an illustration or photograph<br />

on the same package panel.<br />

Use color correctly.<br />

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

black whenever possible.<br />

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

use black or Platinum Grey.<br />

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

use the corporate colors or any appropriate<br />

color. Caution: When Laser Red is used on white<br />

or grey backgrounds, the result may appear pink.<br />

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

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

repeat colors used in the graphic signature<br />

or use any appropriate color.<br />

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

Unify all sides of a package by consistently<br />

repeating elements.<br />

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

always selecting the signature arrangement that<br />

best fits the display area on each panel. Because<br />

all the signature arrangements complement one<br />

another, different arrangements may be used on<br />

different panels of a single package.<br />

Note: Never force a signature arrangement into a<br />

display area. For example, if the area available<br />

to display the signature on a particular panel<br />

is predominately horizontal, do not crowd a<br />

vertical signature into it. Instead, use a signature<br />

arrangement that is also predominately horizontal,<br />

such as a compact or special signature.<br />

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

aligned horizontally, in each graphic signature,<br />

if possible. Narrow side panels may require<br />

smaller signature typography or different signature<br />

arrangements than front 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<br />

differentiate the information.<br />
