4 SPX Logo The SPX logo is composed of 45-degree lines based on an 11-stroke grid. The shape of the symbol is an abstract form of an arrow that depicts the growth of SPX. The accompanying letterforms have been drawn to reflect the shapes within the mark. Buildmark Symbol SPX Logotype 4

5 Logo Lock-Up Variations Blue White Wherever possible, the primary, vertical logo should be used. Depending on the application and available surface area, the secondary, horizontal logo may be used instead. Primary logo Secondary logo 5

6 Logo Clear Space Primary Logo Secondary Logo Clear space is the area surrounding the logo that must be free of all text and graphic elements. The required minimum clear space for the logo is X/2 for the primary logo and X for the secondary logo. 6

7 Logo Minimum Size Print and Onscreen Production: Primary Logo Secondary Logo Buildmark The minimum length of the primary logo is 0.2 or 15px. 0.2" or 15 px 0.5" or 35 px 0.5" or 35 px The minimum length of the secondary logo is 0.5 or 35px. The minimum length of the Buildmark alone is 0.5 or 35px. 7

8 Logo Placement In order to reinforce the Buildmark s forward motion, it should always be placed on the righthand side of a surface, either in the upper right corner or vertically aligned to key messaging. It should never be placed in the lower right corner. 8

9 Logo Do s and Don ts Our logo is the key element of our visual identity. It should not be modified, distorted or altered in any way. Here are some examples of logo misuse Don t condense or stretch the logo. Make sure all proportions are true to the original. Don t change the symbol/logotype relationship. Don t emphasize one element over another. Don t add drop shadows or use effects. to avoid. Don t use colors that are not specified in the approved color palette. Don t alter the weight of the logotype. Don t alter arrow symbol or the approved symbol drawing. Don t reset the type in a different typeface. 9

10 Sub-Brand Logos All sub-brand identities have been built based on the secondary, horizontal SPX logo to visually align with the overarching SPX look and feel. Unlike the SPX logo, however, the sub-brand logo should be rendered in two colors whenever possible. The typography uses SPX Light Blue (Pantone 2173), while the buildmark uses SPX Blue (Pantone 2945) in order to tie to the parent brand. * *Alternate Flash Logo Options should only be used when spacing is an issue. 10

11 Sub-Brand Clear Space Each asset contains built-in clear space in order to protect the integrity of the logo. In each case, this is defined in terms of the symbol height. There should never be a need to recreate any SPX logos. When building any new applications, please use an approved asset. Sub-Brand Logo 11

12 Sub-Brand Sizing Guide Due to the variations in length of the sub-brand logos, the height should always be consistent across all sub-brands when used in the same applications. Correct Sizing Incorrect Sizing 12

13 Sub-Brand Minimum Size Print and Onscreen Production: The minimum height is 0.1 or 7px. 0.1" or 7 px 13

14 Sub-Brand Logo Relationship Guide Certain SPX-branded Co-Brand Sub-Brand Led SPX Led applications may need to be jointly branded by either SPX or one of its sub-brands. Use these examples as guidance when creating pieces When SPX and a sub-brand must appear together as equals, use the horizontal SPX logo and match the cap heights between SPX and a given sub-brand. They should be spaced one arrow-height apart. When a sub-brand must lead, use the horizontal SPX logo sized to be 3/5 the height of the sub-brand logo. The two logos may appear detached, as long as they are both present on the same surface. When SPX must lead, use the vertical SPX logo and size the sub-brand logo to be 3/5 the cap height of SPX. The two logos may appear detached, as long as they are both present on the same surface. that (1) require equal co-branding (2) are led by one of SPX s sub-brands or (3) are led by SPX itself. 14

15 Segment Logos SPX is divided into three segments: HVAC Detection & Measurement Engineered Solutions Each has its own logo. In some instances it may be necessary to use the single line version of a segment logo. Whenever possible, the two line version should be utilized. In both instances (single and dual line versions), the SPX buildmark symbols should be the same size. In some presentations, it may be necessary or appropriate to display all three logos. In this instance, the SPX Segments Group Logo should be used. 15

16 Brand Elements The color, typography and texture in our communications enhance brand awareness and support SPX brand strategy. The consistent use of these elements ensures that every SPX communication is consistent with our brand. 16

17 Color The SPX color SPX Dark Blue SPX Blue SPX Light Blue SPX Red palette is based on a family of blues. All three blue tones can be used Used primarily in large background areas. Used as the primary color of the logo as well as primary messaging. Used widely throughout the subbrand identity system as well as to highlight key information. Very limited use as an accent color. together to build rich gradients and textures. Pantone 294 C CMYK 100/69/7/30 RGB 0/47/108 Pantone 2945 C CMYK 100/53/2/16 RGB 0/76/151 Pantone 2173 C CMYK 88/31/0/0 RGB 0/132/213 Pantone 2347 C CMYK 0/88/100/0 RGB 255/6/0 HEX 002F6C HEX 004C97 HEX 0084D5 HEX E10600 Color formulas All color breakdowns are based on Pantone bridge values. 17

18 Primary Typography Replica is available in a family of weights and styles. The bold and light weight should be used for titles or emphasis and the regular weight should be used for body text. Primary Font Replica Replica Light abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= Replica Light Italic abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= Replica Regular abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= Replica Regular Italic abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= Replica Bold abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= Replica Bold Italic abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ~!@#$%^&*()_+= 18

19 Secondary Typography In some situations, Replica may not be an available option (e.g., when setting type in HTML or using Microsoft applications like Word or PowerPoint). In these situations, Arial is an acceptable replacement. These technical constraints should be the only reason to substitute Arial for Replica. Arial should be the font used by SPX employees on a regular basis for all daily needs and communications. Therefore, it is not necessary for marketing or other internal teams to carry the Replica font, unless they are creating/designing marketing materials.

34 Branded Materials Employee-focused materials such as this notebook make subtle use of the SPX brand. The use of the symbol alone should be encouraged in addition to subtle rendering such as the depicted blind emboss logo and blue elastic band. 34

35 Branded Materials The Buildmark takes on new meaning in the context of construction. When placed on blue surfaces such as this hard hat, the white symbol may be used without the supporting SPX letterforms. 35
