BRAND BOOK 1 >> Guideline for the usage of RAVENOL branding 1 CONTENTS This design-manual for RAVENOL and RAVENOL AUTO SERVICE explains the most important design elements and the use of communication and advertising tools. It does not only reflect the RAVENOL design but also visualises the adoption of the subsidiary brand RAVENOL AUTO SERVICE.

The goal: to combine the design of the umbrella brand RAVENOL with the subsidiary brand RAVENOL AUTO SERVICE. This move is supposed to consolidate the latter’s brand name and visualise a homogeneous appearance. 1 Contents 2 RAVENOL – Logo 5 Made in Germany – Label 6 Colour World 7 Fonts 8 Business printed matters /Correspondency 9 AUTO SERVICE – Logo 11 AUTO SERVICE – Branding 12 AUTO SERVICE – Signage 14 AUTO SERVICE – Outdoor-Signage 18 AUTO SERVICE – Reception Area / Shop 19 AUTO SERVICE – Product-Displays 20 AUTO SERVICE – Customer Waiting Area 21 AUTO SERVICE – Placards & Banner 22 AUTO SERVICE – POS-Material 23 AUTO SERVICE – Guidance System/ Signage 24 AUTO SERVICE – Safety Signboards 25 AUTO SERVICE – Guidance System 26 AUTO SERVICE – Working Gear 27 AUTO SERVICE – Consumables 2 RAVENOL – LOGO Whenever used, the RAVENOL logo appears in the form displayed here are available and mustn’t be modified.
