motion General guidelines


branding The Atlas Copco motion branding package consists of flexible
templates. They are visually consistent but flexible enough to
fit all kinds of film productions communicating the
Atlas Copco brand.

Templates
Two templates are available:

Minimal template Full-frame template

Which template to use?


This is a creative decision as well as a decision based on what
suits each film best.

Use minimal templates: Use full-frame templates:


• On brand-level films • Full-frame templates may be more suitable for
product-level films
• They work better with clean video footage with controlled
light circumstances and color grade • Busy and crowded video footage also calls for full-frame
templates for best legibility

Note: Avoid mixing full-frame and minimal templates randomly in the same film
or series of films. Be consistent, or alternate between minimal and full-frame
templates deliberately to emphasize a hierarchy of communication.
