personality?

A brand personality is the articulation of the


core character of a brand — its soul.
It helps to guide and modulate every piece
of communication. From how we talk to what
we talk about, how we look and how we move.
In simple terms, the personality will act as a
lodestone for any branded material. Helping
people judge whether they have struck the right
tone in messaging, and acting as an effective set
of criteria for the mood and feel of photography
and motion footage.

Logo history

Page 47
Origin
Electrolux appeared in 1919 as
the result of the merger of Lux AB
and Svenska Elektron AB. For the
first half a century of its existence,
the company used script logos
resembling handwriting.

Electrolux logo meaning and history


It was only in 1962 that the iconic
symbol, which could be described as 1901 1919 1962
a three-pointed star in a circle, was
introduced. It has been used ever
since, with only minor modifications.

The 2015 symbol Electrolux


While preserving the Electrolux
emblem, the 2015 logo variation
introduced a new, cleaner and modern
typeface. The motto “thinking of you”
was removed resulting in a cleaner
and more legible logotype. The brand
identity was developed by the London
office of Prophet.

1990 2011 2015

Attribution Brand Symbol Logotype


We need to ensure that our
communications are identifiable as
being from Electrolux. To that end,
we must ensure that the logotype
is effectively displayed on each
application. A longer term goal is to
build recognition into our brand icon
so that it can be used independently.

Make-up
Our logo comprises two elements:
The brand symbol and the logotype.
It is a contemporary mark that has
strong visual impact to increase
Logo
brand visibility and recognition on key
touchpoints.

Electrolux in text
When the Electrolux name is written in
text and headlines, it appears in title
case (with “E” capitalized only).

Logo color

Page 51
Color
When used in print and digital the logo
should be used in Electrolux Blue or
in cases where the logo sits on a dark
background or an image, reversed
out in white. The logo can be applied
to a variety of colored backgrounds
and imagery, but care should be taken
to ensure clarity, prominence and
legibility. Do not apply to images with
complex, cluttered backgrounds that
compete with the logo.

A black version can be used in


exceptional circumstances when
reproduction methods or legal
requirements prohibit the use of dark
blue or white.

For logo finishing, see page 58.

Clear space
A minimum clear space rule has
been devised to ensure no other
graphic elements appear too close
to the Electrolux logo. This will
ensure legibility and that it is treated
consistently and with integrity.

The clear space rule should be


adhered to wherever possible,
although there are exceptions
dictated by the scale or shape
of a format, particularly in retail,
digital and product scenarios.
These instances will be referred
to in specific guidelines.

Minimum size
The minimum size rule is shown
opposite. However, there will be some
exceptions where there is restricted
space. For example, on merchandise
or some digital applications.

The preferred positioning for the

demands alternative layout then the
logo can be repositioned.

When creating content for motion it
is important to use our photography
principles; 1. Use of natural materials,
2. Use of light, 3. A premium palette,
4. Experiences, 5. Simplicity.

But creating a mood in a film is different


to using a single image in a brochure.

These are some principles that will help


communicate our story effectively:

1. O
 ur motion style should reflect our
brand personality
Quiet thoughtful moments are
balanced out with content that
has a spirited, confident energy.

2. Use a range of perspectives


Focussing in on details of people/
products, or setting the context in
aerial landscape/interior shots can
bring more emotion into the film.

3. Music and editing style can help


create a spirited pace
