Introduction Welcome to TP-Link’s brand guidelines. We


created this document to clarify TP-Link’s
new brand identity for the designers of all our
internal and external communications. We
want to help you understand the big ideas
of our brand’s positioning and personality,
as well as the usage details of our logo,
type, colors, and other design elements.
By following these guidelines, you’ll help
reinforce our new commitment to simplicity
that powers achievement.
TP-Link Guidelines 6 BRAND PLATFORM TP-Link Guidelines 7

Brand Platform Our brand platform consists of the ideas and


values that inform everything we do. The visual
guidelines in this document have been created
to reinforce these ideas and values.

Communication can be understood as a


product of what we say and how we say it.

Our positioning statement, which defines our


goals in relation to our customers’ needs, is
the “what.” Our personality statement, which
defines our attitude and tone, is the “how.”

Logo Our new logo is the centerpiece of our brand


identity. It anchors the look of our visual
communication to our core principle: simplicity
that powers achievement.

Our logo is the most focused, powerful,


singular representation of our company. In
protecting the integrity of our logo, we protect
the integrity of our brand.
LOGO TP-Link Guidelines 12 TP-Link Guidelines 13

Our Symbol’s Story

Our new logo works as a monogram, with its stylized


T and P forms, and as a symbol, which integrates an
arrow and a circle.

As a symbol, our logo embodies our central brand


idea, “simplicity that powers achievement.” The arrow
pointing to the center of the circle indicates our
commitment to putting our customers at the center of
everything we do.

The circle

The circle itself, along with the other


rounded forms used in our visual
identity, conveys our commitment to
intuitiveness, and human-centric design.

The arrow

The arrow conveys our dynamism


and sense of purpose. This form is
repeated in many elements across
our visual identity.
LOGO TP-Link Guidelines 14 LOGO TP-Link Guidelines 15

Primary

There are two primary versions of the logo: positive and


reverse. These versions give designers flexibility to use brand
colors while working with different backgrounds.

The ideal use of the positive logo is on white, for a clean look.

The ideal use of the reverse logo is on TP-Link Teal.

This is the standard logo usage, which best reinforces the


brand color.

Clearspace &
Minimum Size

It’s vital to preserve the integrity of the TP-Link logo across Clearspace
all uses.

Minimum clearspace

Clearspace is the area surrounding the logo that must be


kept free of any text or graphic elements. To help maintain
visual impact on all our communications, always allow for
generous space around the logo.

Minimum clearspace is measured by the size of the logo’s


arrow symbol. The arrow’s height and width are identical.

Minimum size

Legibility of the logo is crucial. The logo must always be


sized large enough to be read easily.

The minimum height of the logo, measured from the top to


the bottom of the symbol, is 0.25 inches (6.5mm) for print
and 22 pixels on-screen. However, the logo should be larger
than the minimum size whenever possible.

Gradient Repeat Pattern


- On Color

In additional to the teal repeat pattern device, designers can


utilize a navy, light gray or dark gray color alternative when
emphasizing brand awareness.

Darker and more neutral colors are useful when speaking to a


business-driven audience. Repeat patterns can be used as
backgrounds, texture or to fill empty space.

Solid Repeat Pattern


- On Color

The solid arrow pattern is an alternative to the repeat


pattern. This element is more subtle and stable when
placed behind copy, product shots or when layered with
other graphic assets.

When chosing a color option for the solid arrow pattern


be aware of high contrast and legibility.

Overview

This section provides an overview of our approach to both


lifestyle and product photography.

Lifestyle photography Product photography


PHOTOGRAPHY TP-Link Guidelines 88 PHOTOGRAPHY TP-Link Guidelines 89

Lifestyle

When using photography, use people-focused images,


depicting honest and authentic lifestyle. These images should
feature people engaging with technology in everyday life.

The styling should be contemporary and bright, and represent


a positive home life.
PHOTOGRAPHY TP-Link Guidelines 90 PHOTOGRAPHY TP-Link Guidelines 91

Product

Our product photography, in addition to illustrating the product


clearly, should create a sense of friendliness, approachability
and effortlessness.

Angle

Product facing left side is ideal when it is on the plain


background by itself. Also, product should be slightly below the
eye level, but standing products with height can be at about
the eye level. Moreover, the product should be slightly angled
so both its front and side can be seen. Additionally, the product
image needs to cast a shadow without any reflections.
