LLOYD S agencies around the world BACKGROUND AND introduction (i) exit print contact us contents last page back forward about these guidelines Who are these guidelines for? These guidelines are for Lloyd s Agencies around the world. Separate guidelines are available for: Lloyd s coverholders Lloyd s Brokers The Lloyd s Market The Corporation of Lloyd s Projects and teams sponsored by Lloyd s You can get copies from Lloyd s Brand Strategy. See further information. What s the big picture? Lloyd s is complicated. It s a real challenge for people to understand how all the various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fit together. Historically Lloyd s has allowed and even encouraged different parties to present their associations with Lloyd s in different ways. The resulting lack of coherence has weakened and undermined the Lloyd s brand, making it even harder to understand Lloyd s. The following pages outline the system we ve designed to address this situation. As well as making Lloyd s more transparent, the system should help make it clear how Lloyd s is structured.

Lloyd s Agencies around the world BRAND EXPRESSION (ii) exit print contact us contents last page back forward SETTING THE SCENE Lloyd s is a brand that is recognised and respected around the world but one that is not always understood. We need people to see what makes us different and to understand what makes us special. To do this we must tell our story clearly, simply and consistently. Constant originality At the heart of this story is the idea of constant originality. We create constancy through good faith, consistency, reliability and security and by reminding people that we have been around for more than three centuries. We deliver originality through our innovative solutions to risk, having a unique market structure that matches entrepreneurialism with international scale and allowing people to deal with a genuine marketplace rather than a computer. This idea must permeate every aspect of the organisation our products and services, environments, communications and behaviour. It must be demonstrated in all the materials we produce. These guidelines have been produced to help us to do that. Read them carefully and follow them conscientiously. It is up to us all to ensure that constant originality stays at the heart of Lloyd s.

LLOYD s agencies around the world branding matrix IN PRINCIPLE (iii) exit print contact us contents last page back forward How does the system work? To make the system easy to understand we ve based it on two straightforward questions that can be applied to every entity that is associated with Lloyd s: uses the LLOYD S NAME 1 Is Lloyd s part of the name? 2 How closely should its visual association with Lloyd s be? The charts on this and the next page illustrate how the system works. Independent of Lloyd s. May have different interests/activities/standards from Lloyd s. May be critical of Lloyd s.

Lloyd s agencies around the world LLOYD S agency and sub-agency MARKs THE COMPONENTS 1.1 exit print contact us contents last page back forward!!! The Lloyd s Agency mark comprises four inseparable components: the Lloyd s logotype, the Agency descriptor and the tab and descriptor boxes which act as containers for each. Neither the Lloyd s logotype, nor the Agency descriptor is a typeface. Both have been specially drawn and must never be recreated or typeset in an alternative font. The relative sizes and positions of each of these components are fixed and must not be altered. Similarly, no component may be used in isolation or removed from the Lloyd s Agency mark. Black and white versions the black version is used on light backgrounds the white version is used on dark backgrounds Each of these versions has been specially drawn for positive and negative use and should never be interchanged. Always ensure that you use the appropriate original. The Lloyd s Agency mark only ever appears in black and white. Master artworks are available from Lloyd s Agency Department and Lloyd s Brand Strategy. A separate brand mark has been developed for Sub-Agents as shown here. The same guidelines apply to this mark as the Lloyd s Agency mark.

Lloyd s agencies around the world Lloyd s agency mark PRIMARY AND SECONDARY mark 1.2 exit print contact us contents last page back forward There are two Lloyd s Agency marks (Primary and Secondary). Primary is the preferred use across most applications Secondary is used where space is more restricted on a particular application. It may also be used where the Primary mark would otherwise clash with your own brand mark or identity system. Both the Primary and Secondary marks are available in black and white versions. Primary mark (black) Primary mark (white) Secondary mark (black) Secondary mark (white)

lloyd s agencies around the world LLOYD S agency MARK PRIMARY BLEED VERSION 1.3 exit print contact us contents last page back forward! The bleed version of the mark A bleed version has been specially created for when the mark hangs from a trimmed edge. You will notice that for the bleed version only, the space above the Lloyd s logotype is a little more than below it. This is intentional. It is to allow for an optical tolerance for when an application is physically trimmed to the edge of the mark. You will need to include a printer s bleed area above the top edge of the page (usually between 3mm and 5mm). Bleed version (black) Bleed version (white) When to use the bleed version Primary version Black White For example: With bleed when the mark hangs from a trimmed edge Without bleed when the mark does not hang from a trimmed edge Brochures, leaflets, newsletters PowerPoint presentations, online applications

lloyd s agencies around the world lloyd s agency mark MEASUREMENT AND SIZE VERSIONS 1.4 exit print contact us contents last page back forward The measurement of the Lloyd s Agency mark is always specified across the width of the tab box. Primary mark Standard size! There are two size versions standard and small-use. Small-use size The small-use version is always used below 25mm width and has been designed for better legibility at small sizes. The minimum size of the Primary mark is 17mm (this is the size used for business cards). The minimum size of the Secondary mark is 10mm. Each of the size versions has been specially drawn and neither is interchangeable with the other. Important reproduction note On occasion, the small-use version may be the right choice for challenging production processes where you are unable to reproduce the standard size version with the desired legibility. Where this is the case, proofing stages will help to determine the most suitable version for optimum reproduction of the mark. No maximum size restriction Primary mark Small-use size 25mm maximum Secondary mark Standard size 25mm minimum 17mm minimum Secondary mark Small-use size 25mm minimum 10mm minimum

lloyd s agencies around the world Lloyd s agency mark MINIMUM CLEAR SPACE 1.5 exit print contact us contents last page back forward! The Lloyd s Agency mark is always surrounded by a minimum clear space area which must remain free from other elements (type and graphics). The minimum clear space area is equal to the height of the tab box in the mark. The clear space area is proportional at all sizes. This clear space area is a minimum and should be increased wherever possible. The Primary mark always hangs from the top edge of a page or design, hence only three sides are indicated as having a clear space area. The Secondary mark is shown with clear space to all sides, based on the extremities of the largest component of the mark. Primary mark Minimum clear space area 1X Secondary mark Minimum clear space area X = height of tab 1X X = height of tab 1X

lloyd s agencies around the world lloyd s agency mark SIZING AND POSITIONING 1.6 exit print contact us contents last page back forward Where possible, you should keep the sizing and positioning of the Lloyd s Agency mark consistent. Example shown is based on width of A4 portrait! Choosing the correct mark size The size you choose depends on the size and format of the page. If your format is not an A size If your page format is not one of those listed in the table on this page, you should work to the nearest available size. 34mm 26mm (12.5% width of page, to nearest 0.5mm increment) Positioning from the right-hand edge The distance that the Lloyd s Agency mark is positioned from the right-hand edge is determined by a proportional 12.5% width of the application. This measurement is rounded to the nearest 0.5mm as shown in the formula below: For example, for A4 Portrait (width of 210mm) 210mm x 12.5% = 26.25mm 26.25 rounded to nearest 0.5mm = 26mm We have created a table of sizing and positioning for the principal A paper sizes (see right). Do not use the marks at any size other than those corresponding to the A sizes shown.
