0.3 Headline Every organization has a specific visual identity, and each element of its communications contributes to the overall impression people have of it. These guidelines have been created by Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv to help define and standardize the Panda Global visual identity. The pages that follow explain the essential elements of the identity system and demonstrate their correct use across a broad sampling of applications and media. Many of the standards depend on relative size, proportion and position. These have been developed through careful consideration of many factors, both functional and aesthetic. Adhering to the spirit of these graphic design standards will ensure continuity, a high standard of quality, and a clear, consistent visual identity for Panda Global.

1.2 Symbol 1.2 Shown here is the Panda Global symbol. Geometric, modular, and charismatic, the Panda Global symbol is the face of a panda in a double-outlined hexagon, with rectangular ears that run parallel to its rectangular eyes. The symbol together with the wordmark (see next page) form the Panda Global logos. The following pages show the approved proportional relationships for the logos and guidelines for their use. Only in some instances should the symbol be used alone — for example, as a social media avatar, a favicon, or a decorative pattern. The relationship of the forms in the Panda Global symbol are carefully considered; do not attempt to redraw the symbol or change the relationship of the elements. Always use the provided artwork files. Panda Global Identity Guidelines B rand Identity Elements

1.3 1.3 Wordmark Shown here is the Panda Global wordmark. The letters for the name “Panda” are a specially created wordmark. They are not a typeface and should never be recreated using fonts. The wordmark along with the Panda Global symbol (shown on page 1.2) combine to make up the Panda Global logos. The following pages show the approved relationships between symbol and wordmark that are used to create each logo. The wordmark should never appear without the symbol on any application.

This vertical logo is the preferred format and should be used wherever possible. Since the Panda Global logo will appear on nearly all brand communications (websites, various print and promotional media), it must therefore remain highly visible and recognizable in all instances. Wherever possible use the Panda Global logos on a black or dark background. Always use the original and approved artwork; never alter or attempt to redraw or recreate the lettering using computer fonts. Artwork with a “TM” and “®” have been provided for use with all printed materials. When using the logo for digital applications, it is not necessary to use the TM or ®. Clear Space To ensure its integrity and visibility, the logo should be kept clear from competing text, images, or graphics. The logo must be surrounded on each side by an adequate clear space. For the Vertical Logo, at minimum, the clear space is equal to 1/4 of the symbol width, as shown in the diagram. Minimum Size For the Vertical Logo, the height of the logo should never appear smaller than 40 pixels in height when used in digital formats, or .5” in height when used in print materials.

The symbol with the larger wordmark below it make the Alternate Vertical Logo. Use the Vertical Logo (see page 1.4) wherever possible. Use this logo only when, because of space or legibility, neither the Vertical Logo nor the Horizontal Logo is appropriate to use. Wherever possible use the Panda Global logos on a black or dark background. Always use the original and approved artwork; never alter or attempt to redraw or recreate the lettering using computer fonts. Artwork with a “TM” and “®” have been provided for use with all printed materials. When using the logo for digital applications, it is not necessary to use the TM or ®. Clear Space To ensure its integrity and visibility, the logo should be kept clear from competing text, images, or graphics. The logo must be surrounded on each side by an adequate clear space. For the Vertical Logo, at minimum, the clear space is equal to half of the symbol width, as shown in the diagram. Minimum Size For the Vertical Logo, the height of the logo should never appear smaller than 35 pixels in height when used in digital formats, or .45” in height when used in print materials.

1.10 1.10 Logo Use for Special Occasion Panda Global Identity Guidelines Br and Identity Elements The Panda Global logo should be used in its green color whenever possible. The green is an essential part of the Panda Global identity and its consistent use will help grow the brand’s recognition. However, there may be special occasions where another temporary color treatment may be appropriate. Shown here is one such example, the rainbow colors for pride replacing the Panda Global green. This should only be done on special occasions and for a temporary period of time. Also shown here is an example of how color might be used in the future to incorporate brand extensions that need to be differentiated. Logo color variations should be used on a very limited basis and must be approved by Panda Global before use. Examples of Logo Use of Special Occasion — Rainbow color E xamples of Logo Use of Special Occasion — Red

1.11 1.11 Logo Use on Color Backgrounds Shown here are examples of the approved logo color use. When placing the logo on color backgrounds, make sure that the logo has sufficient contrast with the background to ensure visibility. For maximum contrast, use the Panda Global logo on black or dark-colored backgrounds. Use the Panda Global logo with the black wordmark on white or light- colored backgrounds. Limited Color Production Use the full-color versions of the logo wherever possible. However, there may be circumstances where it is necessary to produced the logo in one color. Use Panda Global one-color version of the logo in these cases. (See two examples on bottom row.) When a one-color logo is needed, use the provided artwork for the Panda Global one-color versions of the logo. The one-color versions of the logo have been specially created. Do not try to recreate in any way. Specialty Printing For specialty printing such as foil stamping, the Panda Global logo may be reproduced in metallic silver or gold, as shown in the bottom right example. These examples apply to all of the Panda Global logos.

Place the logo in an area of the image that is not visually “busy” in order for the logo to read clearly. The full-color version of the logo should be used wherever possible. For maximum contrast, use the Panda Global logo with the white wordmark on black or dark- colored backgrounds. Use the Panda Global logo with the black wordmark on white or light-colored backgrounds. Where it is necessary to produce the logo in one color — such as required in one-color printing — use an all-black or all-white version of the logo. These examples apply to all of the Panda Global logos.

2.11 2.11 3D Rendering 2.11 Panda Global Identity Guidelines Pa nda Global Applications 2.11 3D Rendering 3/4 view Front view Side view Preferred 3D rendering details Example of 3D Rendering The Panda Global logo may be rendered as a three dimensional graphic. The preferred 3D rendering has the symbol and wordmark extruded as shown in the example here. The black outline is raised slightly. The face elements (eyes and nose) are raised slightly further than the plane of the black outline. Keep all dimension and lighting effects for the symbol and wordmark at a minimum. When great depth or shadows are introduced, the forms will appear distorted, especially when the logo is moving or rotating. Always maintain the minimum clear space as specified in the these guidelines. Be sure to follow the current standards for Title-safe Areas for television and video graphics.
