Using these guidelines
The following guidelines are provided to give you a basic understanding of how to correctly
and effectively use the Canon imageANYWARE logo. It is important to refer to the Canon Mark
Guidelines book for further explanation of how to use the Canon brand elements. The Canon
imageANYWARE logo is to be used only in Canon Americas.
By accurately implementing the Canon imageANYWARE Identity Guidelines you protect and
promote the integrity of the Canon brand.
What is Canon imageANYWARE?
Critical to thriving as a company in our ever-
evolving world is having a single, common,
meaningful positioning. A positioning that not
only works throughout the Americas and is
relevant to all our businesses, but one that also
makes sense in todays connected, wireless
world. That positioning is expressed in the simple,
yet powerful trustmark, Canon imageANYWARE.
Canon imageANYWARE creates a borderless
environment of people, devices, images, and
information that lets you live and work the
way you want, anytime, anywhere.
Canon imageANYWARE is our statement to
ourselves and to our customers across the
Americas that we are no longer a copier
company, no longer a camera companythat
we are, in fact, no longer a stand-alone device
company. What we are, instead, is one company,
without borders, based on total networked
imaging solutions for business and home.
Canon imageANYWARE is a completely forward
looking point of view that encapsulates
Canons technological innovation and vision
and reects where were heading throughout
the Americas today. Canon imageANYWARE
represents a comprehensive inter-related set of
core technological capabilitiesunmatched by
our competitorsthat helps us to maintain
our edge.
We are living in a time in which connectivity
is ubiquitous, networking is commonplace, and
content is becoming richer by the day. Canon
imageANYWARE uniquely positions Canon to
help thrive in this miraculous new digital world.
When should the Canon logo
be used?
The Canon logo is to be used by itself and/or
when reference is being made to the corporation.
As an example, the Canon logo must appear
by itself on letterhead, business cards, signage,
and other applications making reference to
the Canon corporation. Please refer to the Canon
Mark Guideline book for proper usage of the
Canon logo.
When should the Canon
imageANYWARE logo be used?
To reect our new point of view, the
imageANYWARE slogan must appear in
conjunction with the Canon logo for all
advertising, promotional, and marketing
communications materials in the Americas.
imageANYWARE must always be shown
locked-up with the Canon logo as a unit.
It cannot be used as a separate logo.

Clear space
In order to preserve the integrity of the Canon
imageANYWARE logo, it is important that no
other logos, words or other graphic elements
infringe on its space. A clear space is dened to
separate the logo from its surroundings.
The clear space measurement is equivalent to
1/10 the length of the Canon logo.
The distance between the logo and the edge
of any paper, sign, or other application also
needs to be greater than the clear space.
The clear space measurement is equivalent to 1/10 of
the length of the Canon logo.
The instructions on this page apply to all versions of
the Canon imageANYWARE logo.
