Identity Standards: Core Brand Elements and Standards 2.17Contour Bottle SymbolDesigned in 1915, the Contour Bottle symbolizes Coca-Colaat a glance. This primary element of Brand language carriessuch strong emotional resonance and universal recognitionthat it is second in the world only to one other iconic trademark:the Coca-Cola Zero Logo.The Contour Bottle’s memorable curvilinear form, inspiredby the shape of a cocoa-bean pod, is so iconic that it can beidentified by silhouette or touch alone.Legendary industrial designer Raymond Loewy described theContour Bottle as “a masterpiece” and “...one of the classics ofpackaging history.” Celebrated works by artists such as Warholand Rauschenberg reflect the Contour Bottle’s indelible roleas a cultural icon.The Contour Bottle remains one of our most modern yettimeless expressions of the uplifting experience of drinkinga Coke.The Brand Standards include the two expressions of theContour Bottle shown here. The bold simplicity of the ContourBottle Symbol makes it an ideal choice for many touchpoints,including those where photography is not appropriate ornecessary.Proper use of the Contour Bottle Symbol is addressed on thefollowing pages.

Identity Standards: Core Brand Elements and StandardsDynamic Ribbon2.23The Dynamic Ribbon* – often called the Coke “wave” – wasintroduced to the public in 1970 as part of a new look forCoca-Cola. It is a graphic representation of the spacebetween two Coca-Cola bottles situated side by side.With its qualities of motion and continuity, the DynamicRibbon can be used to:• Suggest “infinite flow” by spanning layouts.• Provide balance to layouts containing more surprisingBrand Elements.• Serve as a powerful connecting device not only betweenElements, but across executions.In the hierarchy of Brand Elements, the Dynamic Ribbonfollows the Coca-Cola Zero Logo and Contour BottleSymbol. While this distinctive Element is familiar to some,its meaning and relationship to the Coca-Cola Zero Brand isnot always immediate. Keep this in mind when consideringuse of the Dynamic Ribbon, which is purely optional.Refer to the following pages and the Trademark UsageRequirements chapter (8.0) for standards specific to theDynamic Ribbon.Use only the approved versions of the Dynamic Ribbonavailable on the Design Machine website.* While typically known as the Dynamic Ribbon, the legaltrademark name is Dynamic Ribbon Device.

Packaging Design Standards_Graphic Design Standards_Color Measurement, Evaluation and CalibrationVisual Color Evaluation3.13Visual Color MeasurementThe visual evaluation of color is subjective. By standardizing theviewing environment and procedures, the consistency of ourtrademarks improve.The primary objective of The Coca-Cola Color ManagementSystem is for all facets of our Company’s trademarks to be adirect reflection of the quality of our Brands. First and foremost,any reproduction of our Company Brands must visually matchapproved Visual Color Standards issued.VISUAL COLOR EVALUATION PROCEDUREILLUMINATIONThe Color Standards represent the Final Product Appearance.Any adjustments needed to compensate for the effects ofcoatings, additives, varnishes and/or traps, etc. to the finalappearance must be taken into consideration by printers.45°OBSERVERVisual Color EvaluationThe intent of this practice is to standardize the procedures for thevisual evaluation of printed samples. These procedures are to beused when visually comparing a printed sample against theapproved Color Standard.OBJECTProper viewing conditions, normal color vision and correctpositioning of the standards and samples are essential tomaintaining a standardized visual evaluation process. Once thevisual evaluation has taken place, the results must then beconfirmed through the use of instrumentation when applicable.45°/0°EquipmentProper lighting or viewing environments (such as GTI ColorMatcheror MM-1) are essential for consistent visual evaluation. See the“Simulated Lighting Conditions” chart on the next page for desiredlight sources.LightingThe area where color evaluations are conducted must have abooth or enclosed area with a standardized overhead lightingsystem. The lighting system must be capable of providing thesimulated lighting conditions described on the following pages.Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009


Packaging Design Standards_Graphic Design Standards_Color Measurement, Evaluation and CalibrationMeasuring Color Temperature3.14Color Temperature Measuring InstrumentsA properly calibrated, traceable spectroradiometer can beused to check the color temperature and relevant parametersof each source.Viewing EnvironmentThe ambient lighting conditions must not interfere with thecontrolled lighting from booths or viewing environment.Gray surround color (Munsell N/7) and curtains, if necessary,are to be used. An enclosed viewing room painted with gray(Munsell N/7) paint is acceptable in lieu of a lighting booth.Lighting System MaintenanceProper maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’srecommendations of the lighting equipment is essential forconsistency over time and between units. Lamps are to bereplaced when the unit is out of specification for intensity orcolor temperature. Replace lamps only with those obtainedfrom the original manufacturer of the product in accordancewith the manufacturer’s recommended replacementschedule.SIMULATED LIGHTING CONDITIONSObservers should wear neutracolored clothing or smocks soas not to influence the reflected color back to the samplebeing evaluated.When samples are being viewed, there should be no otheritems present in the booth or area other than the sample andstandard being evaluated.If light is being reflected off walls in close proximity to theevaluation area, there should not be any distracting orbrightly colored objects nearby.Simulated Enclosure SizeThe size of the booth, room, etc. should allow for comfortableviewing. There should be enough space to view all areasfrom different angles and still remain in the controlled lightingenvironment.PRIMARY LIGHT SOURCESECONDARY LIGHT SOURCETERTIARY LIGHT SOURCEULTRAVIOLET LIGHT SOURCEDaylight with color temperature of 5000°K.Cool White Fluorescent (CWF) source with a color temperature of 4000°K.Optional: This light source should be selected and standardized by each Company Division office ifneeded.

To ensure accuracy, the X-Rite 939or 530 has safeguards to maintain proper calibration. The firstsafeguard is an internal clock that will prompt the user to recalibrateevery 12 hours. As a second safeguard, the instrumentwill prompt re-calibration if the temperature of theinstrument chassis drifts 7° Fahrenheit. The instrument willalways alert the user when it requires calibration. Even withthese safeguards, however, it remains the obligation of the userto ensure that calibration is done correctly.Please note: Calibration due to temperature change occurs at a10° shift in temperature.Equipment:• X-Rite 939 or 530 Spectrophotometer• CMC light source D50/10 degree• Calibration tile with current expiration date• X-Rite QA Master software with computer• Numeric color library (MIF)Instrument SettingsBefore taking any readings with the X-Rite 939 or 530,ensure that the following functions are selected within theinstrument:• L*a*b* mode• D50 illuminant• 10º observerCoca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009

Packaging Design Standards_Form Design StandardsThe Standard Contour Bottle Form3.25In 1960, The Coca-Cola Company convinced the United StatesPatent and Trademark Office that the very shape of what weknow now as the Contour Bottle had become so well knownthat it deserved the status of a registered trademark. Applyingfor a trademark for a commercial package was a most unusualand bold step at the time. But the Company wisely knew thatwhereas patents eventually run out, a trademark does not; soas long as it is kept in continuous use, a trademark lastsindefinitely.The Company presented the case that the very shape – in theirwords, the “distinctively shaped contour” of the “hobble skirtbottle” – was “the most recognized container in the history ofthe world” and had in effect already taken on trademark status.The USPTO agreed and granted a registered trademark toCoca-Cola for the Contour Bottle.This chapter describes the Coca-Cola Zero Contour Bottleform standard and outlines how to execute it across variousmaterials and sizes, specifically:• Structural features that set the packaging standard forthe Brand.• How to translate structural features across packagingformats and materials.• Design <strong>guidelines</strong>, including Do’s and Don’ts.• Size extensions and scaling.• Mastering technological and manufacturing constraints.The Standard Contour Bottle Form Glass PET AluminumCoca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009

In particular, keep theseconsiderations top of mind:34• Crimped metal closure• Plastic closure with tamper ring• Crimped metal closure• Large neck finish• Thin transfer neck ring• Minimal neck finish• Screen-printed labeling(non-ruled surface)25• Paper or plastic wrap labels(ruled surface)• 4-color pad-printing and varnishingprocess (non-ruled surface)11. Glass has the ability to offer all of the iconic defining features andmust be implemented in all Contour Bottle executions.1. The petaloid base on a PET Bottle allows us to minimize the gramweight of the Bottle and maintain the shape under pressurecreated by the product. The Champagne Base can be attained,but requires a heavier Bottle.2. Since carbonation can distort surface details of the thinner, softerwalls of PET Bottles, ensure a well-defined Flute shape by givingthe divisions more structure.3. Unlike on the more fragile glass Bottle, the PET neck ring can bethinner, thus allowing less material to be used.4. Use a twist-on cap for PET Bottles, as a crown cap is not effectiveat holding carbonation in a PET Bottle.5. Avoid tinted plastics as they are not as cost effective asclear resins.1. Do not attempt Flutes or Scalloped transitions. They are notachievable for the aluminum Contour Bottle due to the impactextrusion and necking processes used.2. A variation from the standard curve of the Champagne Base willoccur during the aluminum forming process. This results from thecreation of a flat area at the base of the Bottle where the materialis too thick to be formed from the original cylindrical shape that iscreated from the impact extrusion.3. Print the aluminum Contour Bottle just like a standard can, usinga pad-printing process before the form is created. The resultingfull graphic coverage of the package is an approved exception forthis material only, since on glass and PET the product must beshowcased through their transparent materials.Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009

Trademark Usage Requirements 8.0Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009


Trademark Usage Requirements 8.01Trademark Policies of The Coca-Cola CompanyOur trademarks include some of the best-known and mostwell-recognized trademarks in the world. As a result, ourtrademarks are among the most valuable assets of TCCC.If they are used properly, TCCC’s valuable and distinctivetrademarks can be kept forever. However, with improperuse, we run the risk of losing one or more of our trademarksaltogether.Because of the importance of TCCC’s trademarks, it isthe policy of TCCC that all employees of TCCC must helpsafeguard its trademarks and be aware of the rules and<strong>guidelines</strong> for proper use of TCCC’s trademarks. Thesepolicies and procedures for trademark protection and useshould be followed to ensure consistent use and continuedprotection of our trademarks. The policies apply regardlessof whether a proposed use of TCCC’s trademarks isinternal or external.There are a number of trademark use rules that apply to allof TCCC’s trademarks. Consistent use of TCCC’s marks inaccordance with these rules strengthens the rights inTCCC’s marks and enhances their value. Exceptions, rarely,if ever, should be made. If you believe that an exception toany of these rules is appropriate, advance approval must beobtained. These rules include the following:A trademark should, whenever possible, be used as anadjective and followed by a generic term, so that it is clearthat the trademark refers to a specific product that is of aparticular type.Example: Drink COCA-COLA ZERO soft-drinks.If the context is clear that the reference is to a specificproduct of TCCC identified by the trademark, a trademarkcan also be used as a proper noun. Trademarks of TCCC,well known and famous trademarks (such as COCA-COLAand COKE) can also be used as proper nouns. Example:Correct : Enjoy a COKE ZERO.Incorrect: I bought a ZERO yesterday.If a trademark is used as a proper noun, care must be takenthat the trademark is not used in a way that suggests that it isan everyday, generic term for a type of product. For thisreason, use of a trademark as a proper noun should beevaluated on a case-by-case basis by appropriate TCCCTrademark Counsel.Use of our trademarks in the possessive or plural forms isdiscouraged, and all such uses must be approved by theappropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel. Example:Correct: 2 Coca-Cola Zero products for $4Incorrect : 2 Coke Zeros for $4A trademark should never be used as a generic name for acategory of products, or as a verb, a common noun, or anypart of speech other than an adjective or a proper noun. Ourrights to our trademarks are strengthened and maintainedwhen we use them properly and do not suggest that they arecommon, everyday terms that can be used to refer toproducts of many companies.In materials distributed outside TCCC, a trademark should,whenever possible, be displayed in a format that sets it apartfrom other text, makes it stand out, and indicates that it is atrademark, such as in all CAPITAL LETTERS, in “quotationmarks,” or in a special script, italics, or bold print.Example: This store sells COKE, DIET COKE andCOCA-COLA ZERO.In creating slogans that include trademarks, do not usehyphens to link the trademarks to other words in the slogan.Incorrect Example: Hoorah-Coca-Cola Zero.Do not change in any way the spelling of a word mark.For example, do not change the spelling of“COCA-COLA ZERO” so that it reads “COKA-KOLA ZERO.”Beverage products should not be described as “original”or “genuine” or otherwise identified in a way that couldsuggest that others have similar products. Examples ofsuch exceptions are: the phrase “Original Formula” usedfor COCA-COLA ZERO.Brand Integrity PrinciplesThere are certain trademark use principles that relate to theintegrity of the <strong>brand</strong>s in connection with which TCCC’strademarks are used. Those principles generally relate tomaking consistent use of trademarks in a particular way andavoiding “combining” the elements or identities of different<strong>brand</strong>s. They are designed to ensure that TCCC’strademarks are used in ways that strengthen TCCC’s rightsin each of its trademarks.For trademarks that have a particular typeface, font,presentation or design element associated with them, useonly graphic presentations that are approved.Presenting the trademark COCA-COLA in Spencerian script.Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0Confidential: December 2009


Trademark Usage Requirements 8.02Trademark Policies of The Coca-Cola CompanyParticular typefaces, fonts, presentations and design elementsare generally associated with only one <strong>brand</strong>. Do not useelements that have been approved for one <strong>brand</strong> with adifferent <strong>brand</strong>. Example:Correct: Using the Dynamic Ribbon Device with <strong>brand</strong>COCA-COLA ZERO.Incorrect: Using the Dynamic Ribbon Device with <strong>brand</strong>FANTA.Do not add any graphic or other design elements to anexisting trademark of TCCC without approval for the use ofthose additional elements. For example, adding additionalflourishes to the letters of COCA-COLA when it is presentedin Spencerian script.Certain of the containers and packaging used by TCCC areproprietary to TCCC and can serve as trademarks. You mustnever use the Contour Bottle on FANTA, ODWALLA, SPRITEor other products other than COCA-COLA <strong>brand</strong> beverages.Slogans should be used only in connection with the productfor which they are intended. Example:Correct: Coca-Cola Zero, It’s Possible.Incorrect: Coke Zero, Obey Your Thirst.There are many ways in which TCCC’s trademarks can beadapted, modified and/or combined with other materials.Such variations can sometimes strengthen the originaltrademark, but could sometimes be potentially damaging forlegal or other reasons. All such variations could result in thecreation of a new trademark that could infringe the rights ofother parties and therefore would need to be searched andcleared prior to use. For these reasons, it is important that allsuch proposed variations be submitted for approval to theappropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel prior to use.Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0The addition of a prefix or suffix to a trademark, or otherwiseusing an existing trademark as a “stem” for a new word ortrademark is an improper variation. Example:Incorrect: Using words or phrases such as “COKEVILLE”or “ZEROtastic.”Alteration of any of the words of a slogan trademark is animproper variation of the trademark. Example:Incorrect: Using slogans such as “That is Possible”instead of “It’s Possible.”There are many occasions when one or more of TCCC’strademarks is used together with trademarks owned by others.Such situations can arise in conjunction with sponsorship byTCCC of events or organizations (such as the Olympics orthe FIFA World Cup), as part of joint promotional activities,and/or in advertising or other uses by parties that have a rightto use our trademarks.All uses of trademarks of TCCC together with trademarksowned by other companies should be reviewed and approvedby the appropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel.When a trademark of another party appears on packaging orin advertising for one of TCCC’s beverage products, therelationship between the other party and TCCC must be clearfrom the context, and the materials must reflect that onlyTCCC’s trademark is the trademark for the beverage product.All such uses must be reviewed by the appropriate TCCCTrademark Counsel or Operations Counsel, in accordancewith the standard practice of your Group, so that clarifyinglanguage can be added if necessary.With limited exceptions, legal lines must accompany ourtrademarks whenever a trademark of another party appearswith one of our trademarks, whether on packaging, vendingmachines, the Internet or otherwise. Such legal lines mustidentify the trademarks owned by TCCC and assert TCCC’sownership of them.Example: XYZ is a registered trademark of XYZ Associates,Inc. COCA-COLA ZERO and the Dynamic RibbonDevice are trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company.Even in cases where the third party does not require a legalline, we still need to insert the appropriate TCCC legal line.Every term in the corporate name “The Coca-Cola Company”should have the initial letter capitalized, including the letter “T”in the word “The.”The trademark “COCA-COLA ZERO” should always bepresented as a unitary phrase, and the words “Coca” and“Cola” and “Zero” should not be split on different linesor separated. When using word processing programs,use a “non-breaking hyphen” for the hyphen in“COCA-COLA ZERO.”Spencerian script that is used for the “COCA-COLA” trademarkshould not be used for anything other than trademarks incorporating“COCA-COLA,” “COKE,” “DIET COKE,” “COCA-COLALIGHT” and “COCA-COLA ZERO” and the trade names of TheCoca-Cola Company, its subsidiaries and its bottlers.The hyphen in “COCA-COLA ZERO” is an integral part of thetrademark. Always include the hyphen whenever the trademarkis displayed, even if the materials on which the graphics arebased are archival pieces that do not include the hyphen.Do not suggest that the shape of the COCA-COLA ContourBottle (or any other proprietary bottle) has a functionalbenefit. Refer to such bottles as containers or packaging thatare distinctive and identify TCCC’s products. Example:WRONG: “The shape of the Contour Bottle makes it easier toget a firm grip on the bottle.”Use the Dynamic Ribbon Device only in relation to the“COCA-COLA” family of beverages or as a reference toTCCC. Do not combine the Dynamic Ribbon Device withthird-party trademarks to create a new design or trademark.Confidential: December 2009
