1 1 Brand Standard Guidelines

2 1 Logo Guidelines As Saladmaster grows in national and global stature, the need to ensure accurate brand presentation becomes critical. The logo and typeface are the foremost visual expression of the brand and form the basis of Saladmaster s brand identity. The logo is a registered trademark of the company.

It will also effectively communicate an image that reinforces Saladmaster s long-standing reputation for integrity and tradition of excellence. The logo was developed in 1992 and reflects the quality of the brand with it s distinctive customized paint-brush stroke. When used, these guidelines provide specifications for the use of the Saladmaster logo and assist the users of the logo, devices and typeface to comply with internal and external requirements.

The success of the brand application requires the utmost commitment from the entire Saladmaster organization.
