Hyperlink color and accessibility Links are styled differently depending on context. All links must be visually distinct from surrounding text. While color can help indicate that something is a link, all links must also have a secondary visual indicator (underline, bold) that clearly indicates they are links to users with color blindness. Inline links are embedded in a sentence or paragraph of non-link text. Standalone links are links that are not embedded in a paragraph of text, but rather sit below text, an image, or an interative element.

We use Guardian Sans Headline in all our marketing Guardian Sans Semibold materials and most of our communication channels (e.g., ads, direct mail, social posts), with the exception Guardian Sans Regular of LibertyMutual.com, acquisition and customer emails, and Microsoft® ® ® Word, PowerPoint , and Excel . Guardian Sans Semibold and Regular are the approved weights (along with their italic counterparts for Guardian Sans Light emphasis and/or clarity). System font for desktop use Use Roboto in place of Guardian Sans in web and desktop applications (e.g., Microsoft® PowerPoint® System font and Word, emails). Roboto Bold Legal text Guardian Sans is preferred, but large blocks of Roboto Regular legal text can be set in Helvetica Condensed if it aids legibility.

Our icons Our icons are a simple shorthand for illustrating our products and services. The graphic simplicity of our icons helps Liberty Mutual communicate in a clear, friendly, and direct visual language that is easy for people to understand. They can help us quickly communicate either a literal or an abstract idea. Icons are a highly effective tool on digital and social media platforms to convey a product (auto, home), concept (time, date), or action (call, chat, online). Images are typically better used in an editorial setting to capture or convey emotion. Our icon set is specially designed for impact at smaller sizes and isn’t intended to be used as large spot graphics.

Our photography style Our imagery projects an honest, down-to-earth optimism. It’s a glimpse into a moment of time, with a natural imperfection that feels genuine, not contrived. • Lean into a light, mostly neutral palette which enhances our brand colors rather than competing with them. • Images with a natural, unretouched appearance of yellow or teal support our palette but should never appear forced. • Look for images whose foreground, middle ground, and background help create dimension without falling victim to messiness or distraction. • Source photography that meets Liberty Mutual’s standards for diversity and inclusion. • Avoid images taken from extreme angles, that show unsafe behaviors, or feature overly dramatic lighting techniques. To request a contact sheet containing all of the brand approved images on Brand SharePoint, please send an email to [email protected].
