Traveling with the team. Doing your research on the DraftKings Playbook. Throwing out the first pitch. Needing one more assist for the Triple-Double Bonus. An NHL VIP Experience. Playing in a live final for $1 Million with all your buddies pulling for you.

Brand GuidelinesIn this section you’ll find examples of how we look
and sound, and tools for you to use. Maintaining
consistency is essential to our identity and
recognition of our brand across all marketing
channels and media.
09
How We LookWe are meticulous, especially when it comes to our brand. Below you’ll find specific guidelines and helpful tips for using our logo.
LogosIn this section we’ll talk about our logo, how and where to use it. The DraftKings logos should never be modified or recreated in any way, especially positioning and/or alteration of the fixed elements within the logos.
DRAFTKINGS STACKED
This is our primary logo. We use it over any of the others whenever possible.
Exclusion ZoneTo enable the DraftKings logo to appear prominently in its primary usage of full color and without interference from other elements an exclusion zone has been created. The exclusion zone should be observed on all applications.
10
Too Heavy Too Heavy
Too Text-Heavy
Centering based on the furthest points left and right gives the illusion that the logo is too far right because the viewer is focused on the text.
Too Crown-Heavy
Centering based on the entire text, excluding the crown, gives the illusion that the logo is too far left because the crown out-weighs the right side.
Just Right
Centering between the left side of the “K” and the right edge of the “T”, placing the center mark on the top left edge of the “A” creates a visually centered appearance.
Centering the LogoThe fixed elements in our logo can be tricky to center. Below is the correct way to center the logo so it looks great and upholds consistency. Our crown and text need to be properly weighted so that neither side looks too heavy.

Logo VersionsWe have three main logos that are used based on spatial limitations or requirements. Choose the logo that most appropriately meets your needs. The full color logo is primarily used over any other. One color logos are used in places with color restrictions. If you have need for a logo that’s different from those below please contact us.
13
DRAFTKINGS HORIZONTAL
We use this logo when there isn’t enough vertical space for the stacked,
primary logo.
Horizontal_NoTagline.eps

D CROWN
This logo mark is used mostly for merchandise. It’s otherwise used when there isn’t enough space for the stacked or the horizontal logo in external marketing material usually with the word “DraftKings” accompanying it.

15
LOGO WITH TAGLINE
Sometimes our logo is locked up with a tagline. We use either “1-Day Fantasy Sports” or “1-Day Fantasy Sports for Cash” depending on where it’s living. We use other taglines, often sport-specific taglines, when appropriate. Contact us if you’d like additional logo and tagline lockups.

COMPOSITE LOGO
When our logo is locked up with an official partner’s logo we take care to properly represent both brands. Often our partners have logos that are specific to the background type (light or dark) whereas our full color logo is used regardless of the background. Below is an example of this.

How We SoundChoosing the right words and tone are important when communicating our brand. Our players know us as candid, friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We’re not corporate, boring, pompous, or canned. Ever.
ToneOur voice is casual, peer-to-peer, infused with the excitement of your favorite sports event.
MessagingTHE BASICS:
We follow the AP style guide
We don’t use Oxford commas
Bullets don’t get punctuation, except exclamation points! and question marks?
We use contractions, unless we’re speaking legal
All-caps is used sparingly for short headlines and words like: FREE, CASH, BOTH and WIN
Title Case is used for longer headlines, sub heads and short body copy
Highlight important things with exclamation points! But, don’t! make it! annoying!
You play daily fantasy sports at DraftKings not on DraftKings
“K” for thousands and “MM” for millions are always capitalized in lieu of writing out the number amounts, and ONLY for monetary amounts
EXAMPLE:
Refer a Friend and You BOTH get a FREE Shot at $5,000!
20
OUR FAVORITE PHRASES AND SAYINGS: You get a “shot” at top prizes, as in: “Get a FREE Shot at $5,000!”
You play for a “share” of a total prize amount, as in: “Play for Your Share of $25,000”
Typically, we use “Entry” instead of “Ticket”: “Get FREE Entry to a Paid Game”
You can “sweat” lineups: “Watch Dinkmeyer Sweat his Lineup Live on DKTV”
1-Day/1-Week vs. Daily/Weekly1-Day Fantasy Sports and Daily Fantasy Sports are both phrases that we use but each has its time and place! When referring to the industry we are in we say “Daily/Weekly.” When we are describing our product or referencing the duration of our contests we use “1-Day/1-Week.” If we are putting the phrase with our logo we use “Daily.”
21
Off-Limits WordsWe are not a gambling company so we don’t use gambling terms. These are our off-limits, out-of-bounds and out-of-play words:
BET
Ex: “Bet on your favorite players this season”
GAMBLE
Ex: “Gamble $27 to win $1 Million”
CHANCE
Ex: “Enter for your chance to win”
LUCK
Ex: “Try your luck in our biggest contest ever”
PRIZE POOL
Ex: “This contest pays out a $xxx,xxx top prize and $xxx,xxx guaranteed prize pool.”
