COFCO International Brand Guidelines / Logo September 2021 – Version 3.0 29

9.0 Alternative logo versions

Wordmark
The wordmark is used where a single-colour
version is required, in situations where the
primary logo cannot be applied or where
cost reductions are required from a single
color application. Occasionally it will be
necessary to brand very small items or
where a high contrast version is needed. In
these situations the simplified wordmark
version of our logo should be used.
Wordmark Wordmark white

Outline logo
The outline logo is only used if the
primary logo can’t be used due to print
restrictions and a single colour logo
is required.
Use the outline logo for light backgrounds,
and the outline white logo for dark
backgrounds.
Outline Outline white

Chinese wordmark
The logo including Chinese characters is to
be used by the Geneva headquarters and
China offices and in any other situation
where the audience is mainly Chinese, e.g. in
China, during a lecture to Chinese students
abroad, or flags during an official Chinese
state visit to your asset or office.
