Basic Guidelines for Santander 6 Versions Main version: this version should be prioritized in all communications, from large formats to credit cards. Secondary version: this version is only used when there are size limitations and the main version does not provide enough visual clarity. This is the case in some sponsorship applications. Example: Symbol: the symbol by itself is only used in small spaces where it is not possible to apply the main and secondary versions. This is the case of the app pictogram or promotional elements with space restrictions. Example: Main Version Positive Negative Symbol Secondary Version 1. Logot ype

Basic Guidelines for Santander 8 1. Logot ype Clear space To ensure legibility we need to give enough clear space around the logo. The ideal clear space for the preferred and secondary versions is defined by the flame symbol width. If needed, there’s also a minimum clear space area, defined by half of the flame symbol width. For the symbol, the security space is defined by a 28x28 modular grid with a security space of 5 modules at the top and sides and 6 at the bottom. The minimum security space is 3 modules on the top and sides and 4 on the bottom. For extreme cases, such as favpictogram, you can consider a security space of less than 1 module on the top and sides and 2 on the bottom. Minimum size To provide legibility and clarity of the Santander logo a minimum size has been established for each version: Main Version: 25px / 3mm Secondary Version : 50px / 5mm Symbol: 16px / 3mm 25px / 3mm 50px / 5mm 16px / 3mm 28 28 Minimum size Preferred clear space Minimum clear space Main version Positive Symbol Secondary version
Basic Guidelines for Santander 9 Cobranding In cases of cobranding it is possible to create a lockup with the Santander logo and the partner brand. The size ratio between them must be proportional and for this reason we use a grid. The distance between both logos is four modules. In the center of this space, we add a 1pt thick line. The height of this break line varies depending on the height of the chosen lockup version. 1. Logot ype 5 8 6 Lockup main version Proportions secondary version Lockup symbol Examples
