The <strong>Metro</strong> SymbolThe <strong>Metro</strong> symbol is the major element in thelogo and has been produced to an originaldesign. No attempt should be made to drawthe symbol freehand or to copy it bycommencing fresh artwork*.The relationship between the size of the M andthe background must never be varied.The M within the circle should be centred andoccupy 66.6% of the diameter. For this reason,only true copies from the master artworkshould be used. See ‘Logo’ and ‘Colours’ pagesfor colour usage and specifications.*In cases where reproduction from artwork isimpossible, e.g. signwriting, you should consultthe diagram shown to ensure the proportionsof the symbol are consistent.XX4X100%66.6%If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72733 . 1


The <strong>Metro</strong> LogoWherever the logo appears, it must beproduced in a consistent format. Within thelogo, METRO always appears in capital letters.Based on the Frutiger 75 typeface, the lettershave been spaced carefully to achieve clarityand legibility. This spacing must always be used.Do not increase or decrease the letterspacing. Similarly, the letters must never beexpanded or condensed.METRO never appears without the M symbol.The logo has been designed to be versatile andeasy to use in many different situations andacross numerous applications. When it is notappearing in its grey panel there are threealternative options (see next page for option 3).In Option 1, the word METRO is centred belowthe circle and is the same width as the circle’sdiameter. The gap between the bottom of thecircle and the top of the letters is 100% of theheight of the word METRO.Option 2 has the circle at 80% of the width ofthe word METRO and the gap between thebottom of the circle and the top of the letters is80% of the height of the word METRO.These are the only acceptable executions of thisversion of the logo (when the circle is centredabove METRO). The circle should never be lessthan 80% of the width of METRO and the gapbetween the circle and METRO must always beas indicated.Option 1 Option 280% of 'METRO' width100%80%100%100%If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72733 . 2


The <strong>Metro</strong> LogoWhen the symbol and METRO appear side byside in Option 3, the letters M are identical insize and sit on the same base line. Thecircumference of the circle is equidistantbetween the two Ms.ColoursThe M should be reproduced white out of a<strong>Metro</strong> Red circle. If, due to printing restrictions,red is not available, the circle should be black.Other colours are not permitted. METRO alwaysappears in black or may be white when reversedout of a dark background colour or photograph.BackgroundsThe depth of the grey panel can vary to suit thedesign, but the position of the M symbol andMETRO, which are positioned at the top of thepanel, must be as the dimensions/percentagesshown. The circle and METRO are always thesame width and always 70% of the width ofthe panel. The distance between the circle andMETRO is always the same as the height of theMETRO lettering. The distance between thecircle and the top of the panel is 40% of thewidth of the panel.40%The two approved backgrounds are <strong>Metro</strong>Grey (see colours 4.2) and white. Choosing theappropriate background colour depends on thenature of the application and how the logo isto be used.The <strong>Metro</strong> PanelFor corporate consistency, the logo shouldappear on the <strong>Metro</strong> Grey panel whereverpossible.XXOption 3100%XX70%If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72733 . 3

Web Colours<strong>Metro</strong> corporate colours for web useWhen colours are used for web, we need toensure they conform to accessibility guidelines,so they are visible to our visually impaired users.Care needs to be taken when using colouredtext. There should be sufficient contrastbetween foreground and background.If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72734 . 3


<strong>Metro</strong> TypefacesClear, consistent, corporateThe typefaces that <strong>Metro</strong> uses have not onlybeen chosen for their look and style, but also(and more importantly) for their clarity andlegibility. For the same reason, headlines,sub-headlines and body copy must appear inupper and lower case wherever possible. Onlyuse the fonts prescribed here to ensureconsistency of <strong>Metro</strong>’s corporate image.Frutiger is the main typeface and is used for allexternal communications. On the followingpages suggested and permitted uses are listedwith each typeface from the Frutiger family.Below is a typical leaflet showing how thedifferent weights and sizes of Frutiger havebeen used.55 Roman 75 Black 65 Bold75 Black45 Light45 Light75 Black75 Black65 BoldIf you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72735 . 1

<strong>Metro</strong> Typefaces<strong>Metro</strong> correspondence and reportsArial is the face used on all <strong>Metro</strong>’s internal and external correspondence, reports, presentationsand other documents. It is clear and legible typeface, and having a similar appearance to Frutiger, itdoesn’t conflict with it - sitting comfortably alongside the main external display typeface.WebsiteFonts for the web are determined using the CSS stylesheets. They are Arial, sans serif.Arial BoldUsed for headlines, sub-headlines and in text where a point is to be emphasised or a sentence orphrase to be highlighted.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890 £%&(.,;:‘’“”!?)Arial RegularThe primary typeface used for the majority of text in <strong>Metro</strong> documentsabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890 £%&(.,;:‘’“”!?)The use of italicsItalic versions of Frutiger and Arial may be used within text as and when appropriate. For example:highlighted or emphasised text, quotations, lists, references, names, real places, etc. Useful as ameans of making a word or phrase stand out from the surrounding copy.Please avoid the use of italics on <strong>Metro</strong>’s websites as it affects legibility.If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72735 . 3

Clearprint <strong>Guidelines</strong>Improving print guidelinesIt is important to recognise that blind andpartially sighted people have different eyeconditions and what they see can greatly differ.It is therefore impossible to devise a ‘printstandard’ which will meet all needs.The following guidelines simply aim to describea number of common-sense steps.ContrastEnsure good contrast between type andbackground. Black type on white gives a verygood contrast. If coloured type is used it shouldbe as dark or intense as possible. If colouredpaper is used it should be as pale as possible.Avoid pale colours on coloured backgrounds.Reversal of typeWhite type reversed out of black or anotherdark or intense colour is acceptable. Very lightcoloured type reversed out of a very dark colouris also acceptable, but avoid reversing when thetype and background do not have enoughcontrast. Ensure that the type face, size andweight are suitable. Small and light type has atendency to fill in with ink. Reversing type outof photographs is acceptable only if goodcontrast is achieved.Fonts<strong>Metro</strong> uses the Frutiger family of fonts becauseof its clarity and legibility in a number of facesand weights. The Frutiger 55 Medium, andFrutiger 65 Bold faces are recommended by theRNIB and are the principal faces used in <strong>Metro</strong>’scommunications.Type sizeType should be set to the largest size thatcircumstances will allow, with a minimum of8pt. The size recommended by the RNIB is12pt, but because of the amount ofinformation to be included on most print itemsand the paper size available, it is usually notpossible to achieve this. Therefore, all items ofprint must include the following statement (setin 12pt type).For timetables in large print,Braille, audio CD or tape, pleasecontact us on 0113 245 7676.Typetalk friendly.Type weightThis is almost as important as the size indetermining legibility. Avoid using light faces atsmall sizes.If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72736 . 1


Clearprint <strong>Guidelines</strong>CapitalsThese are harder to read than lower caseletters. A couple of words in capitals are fine tohighlight a point but continuous text in capitalsshould be avoided. Use upper and lower caseletters in headlines, sub heads and body text.SpacingUse even spacing. Condensing or stretchinglines of type or single words can be confusingand should be avoided. Also, leave enoughspace between lines to aid legibility. If possible,leave extra line spacing between paragraphs.Line lengthThis should ideally be in the range of 50 - 65characters. Avoid splitting words at line ends.LayoutIf possible, type should be ranged left. Runningtype round photographs or illustrations is notrecommended. If, however, it is necessary,ensure that there is enough space betweentype and image. Do not cram the page withtype - good spacing is important for clarity. Iftype is set in double columns, make sure themargin between the columns clearly separatesthem. If space is limited, use a vertical rule.FormsProvide a generous space on the reply part offorms as the handwriting of the blind andpartially sighted tends to be larger than average.TimetablesA horizontal line should be put in after everythree lines to act as a guide. Vertical columnsshould be separated by white space.CopywritingAvoid long words, sentences and paragraphs.Avoid technical information and abbreviations.Text should be in Plain English and as concise aspossible and the layout easy to follow - use‘navigational aids’ such as a contents list, titlesand headlines.Use sub heads to break up the text and make itmore readable.Website. The tone we use is generally 1st and2nd person “We are pleased...You shouldapply...” rather than “<strong>Metro</strong> is pleased...Passengers should apply...”. The exception tothis is news releases.Links must always describe where the user isbeing taken. Eg. Read more about qualitycontracts. Never use Click here or More.PaperAvoid glossy paper as this can reflect too muchlight. Avoid thin, semi transparent papers astext can show through from the reverse - notonly is this confusing for the reader but it canalso devalue the <strong>Metro</strong> brand.If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72736 . 2


<strong>Metro</strong> DisclaimerWe must always aim to make all <strong>Metro</strong>publicity material to be as accurate aspossible.It is inevitable, however, that there will beoccasions when information has changed sincethe publication date or errors have beenmissed. The following standard disclaimer hasbeen developed and must be used on allpublications:‘Every care and attention has been takento ensure the accuracy of the informationcontained in this publication. <strong>Metro</strong>accepts no responsibility for anyinconvenience caused as a result ofalterations or inaccuracies.’If the publication is in partnership with otherorganisations the disclaimer should beamended to read:‘Every care and attention has been takento ensure the accuracy of the informationcontained in this publication. <strong>Metro</strong> and(name of organisation) accept noresponsibility for any inconveniencecaused as a result of alterations orinaccuracies.’If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72737 . 1


The <strong>Metro</strong> StraplineThis short statement helps position <strong>Metro</strong> andsums up its role and responsibilities, its ‘reasonfor being’. The wording and how the typeappears need to be consistent (Frutiger 65 and45, upper and lower case. Examples of it in usecan be seen in this manual.<strong>Metro</strong>. Here to get you thereIn many cases, usually at the base of items ofliterature, posters and advertisements, thestrapline appears with the <strong>Metro</strong> symbol. Thesymbol is centred vertically in the strip. Thestrapline is the same typesize as the M and sitsto the right of the symbol, the baseline of thetype lining up with the base of the M.<strong>Metro</strong>. Here to get you thereThe strapline has a variation that can be usedwhenever a piece of literature or advertisingrefers only to <strong>Metro</strong>Train. Typefaces again, areFrutiger 65 and 45.<strong>Metro</strong>Train.

Website PanelIt is important to promote <strong>Metro</strong>’s website andencourage the public to access informationonline. The layout of all of <strong>Metro</strong>’s externalitems of communication (leaflets, timetables,posters, advertisements, etc) have beenredesigned to include the web address into the<strong>Metro</strong> grey panel.The website panel should appear, whereverpossible, on all items of communication thatwill be seen by the public.The typography is lower case Frutiger 75. Thewording appears grey on the grey panel. Thestrength of grey can be between 40% and50% black depending on what the item is andwhere it is appearing. The idea is to make itlegible but not to overpower the message onthe poster or ad, for example.www.wymetro.com always reads frombottom to top and is centred vertically betweenthe bottom of the panel and the bottom of theword METRO. Its x-height is centredhorizontally in the panel (Example 1).Example 1 is typical of an ‘A’ size portrait posteror advertisement.Example 2When the panel is not as high, as in example 2,the web address has to reduce in size but stillneeds to be impactful. Make it as large aspossible without being positioned too close toMETRO. No closer than the height of the M.Example 1If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72738 . 2


Website LozengeIn addition to the ‘website panel’ a new‘website lozenge’ has been designed toencourage the public to access informationonline. This lozenge should appear, whereverpossible, on all items of communication thatwill be seen by the public. Especially leaflets,timetables, posters and advertisements.The typography needs to be consistent (Frutiger65, lower case) as do the proportions of thetype and the lozenge. The wording alwaysappears white out of a <strong>Metro</strong> Red panel. Inmono reproduction, the panel can be black ormid/dark grey.Web lozenge as flat colour vector graphicThe website lozenge can appear on its own orcombined with other selected graphic elements.Examples are shown on the following pages.Web lozenge with drop shadowIf you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 72738 . 3

Updating <strong>Metro</strong>’s IdentityA common sense approachIn an ideal world an organisation would chooseto change from its old identity to the newidentity overnight. Everything would match, thecolours would be from the same palette andthe look of the identity would be absolutelyconsistent - from day one.Unfortunately, in the real world things don’twork quite like that. Especially when oneconsiders how diverse an organisation like<strong>Metro</strong> actually is. The area it covers and thenumber of items the brand needs to be appliedto mean that a carefully planned rebrandingroll-out programme is required.The colour palettes in this manual will beapplied to all new projects and whenrefurbing existing works.However, if an existing item temporarillyrequires simply touching up, then the currentpaint colour should be used.Please refer to the Information and MarketingManager or the Travel Choices Co-ordinatorwhen undertaking any refurb job or newproject that involves <strong>Metro</strong>’s corporate identity.Keeping it simpleThe management of a coherent identity isextremely important - especially whenupgrading and updating.Luckily, most of the changes required are basedon updating colours. The red circle, white Mand METRO remain the same. But all cream anddark red paint finishes, for example, will bephased out.If you are unsure about any aspect of these guidelines please contact the Information and MarketingManager on 0113 251 7203 or the Travel Choices Co-ordinator on 0113 251 727316 . 1
