FOUR KEY ELEMENTS OF THE CORPORATE IDENTITY Logo The logo is a symbol, not a word. The RIVACASE logo comprises two elements symbol (the turtle) and text (RIVACASE). Colours In addition to the colours in the logo, we use colours to support and enhance our materials. Imagery Imagery is used as an integral part of our materials and it s important that it reflects our brand values and messages consistently. Elements at work When using the elements in a document, it s important to first identify the purpose and objective of the document. Elements can then be tailored to reinforce that message. A minimal approach to design makes the document clean and easy to read

COLOUR USE Colour use Colours are used to highlight headlines, frame visuals and increase the visual identity of the communication piece. When choosing colours, select those that complement the key visuals for greatest impact. For added emphasis, colours from the palette can also be applied to areas in solid or tint. We recommend using these colours at 100%, however you can use tints of these when necessary. We recommend increments of 10%. However in some instances such as charts or graduations, other percentage may be used. Avoid the heavy use of the RIVACASE red as this is an aggressive colour in some countries and cultures. Use primary colours (beige or dark blue) according to your tasks.
