1 Introduction

This document contains a comprehensive set of best practices and standards for consistently and correctly using and displaying the QLogic brand. This introductory chapter provides information on the following:

Corporate Identity

Tagline

“Getting Help from Corporate Marketing” on page 1-2

Corporate IdentityCorporate identity is the image that we convey to our customers and the world. The QLogic corporate identity reflects our brand promise, vision, and personality.

Our most identifiable mark is the QLogic corporate logo, the combination of the symbol and wordmark1 displayed on our products, sales materials, documentation, business cards, and buildings.

These are visual representations of the QLogic image, brand, and global presence in the marketplace. It is essential that we produce consistent quality, look and feel, and voice and tone—or personality—across all of our material.

TaglineQLogic’s tagline captures in a few words the spirit of our company: delivering high performance networking infrastructure and achieving at a very high level both as a company and individually.

Tagline The Ultimate in Performance.

1 A wordmark is a standardized graphic representation of the name of a company, institution, orproduct name used for purposes of identification and branding. A wordmark is usually a distincttext-only typographic treatment, as can be found in the graphic identity of QLogic.

2 Using Logos

This chapter provides usage guidelines for these graphics:

The QLogic Logo

“Other Logos” on page 2-8

The QLogic LogoThe QLogic logo is our principal corporate identifier and “master brand.” To maintain brand consistency, our logo requires consistent treatment, usage, and standards. We use this logo on ads, brochures, interoperability guides, case studies, webinars, white papers, data sheets, competitive briefs, technical briefs, fact sheets, Web pages, videos, presentations, technical guides, and more.

This section covers the following information on using the QLogic logos:

Our Signature

“Logo Mandates” on page 2-2

“Clear Space and Size Requirements” on page 2-2

“Logo Examples” on page 2-4

“Approved Colors” on page 2-5

“Correct and Incorrect Usage” on page 2-6

Our SignatureThe term signature refers to the combination of the logotype and symbol. The word signature is also synonymous with the word “logo.”

The QLogic signature contains two elements: logotype and symbol, and these two elements are usually accompanied by the tagline, “The Ultimate in Performance.”

The interlocking rings represent networking storage, with QLogic at the center of that system.

The QLogic signature must always be given adequate space, for prominence and easy identification, as well as adequate contrast, for clarity and readability.

Figure 2-1 Identifying Parts of the QLogic Logo

Logo MandatesThe elements of the signature have been carefully designed and are not a standard typeface or font.

Do not modify or re-create the symbol, logotype, or tagline (see “Correct and Incorrect Usage” on page 2-6).

To maintain consistency and integrity, always use original electronic artwork supplied by Corporate Marketing.

Clear Space and Size RequirementsThis section covers the clearance and size requirements for the QLogic logo.

Clearance Requirements

The QLogic signature must always appear in a clean and uncluttered layout. Maintain a minimum clearance around the signature equaling the height of the letter “Q”, as shown in Figure 2-2.

2Using Logos

The QLogic Logo

Logo ExamplesThe “vertical” logo is the officially recognized logo for QLogic and is to be used for all purposes unless a “horizontal” logo is more appropriate (see Horizontal Logo).

Vertical Logo

Figure 2-4 shows the QLogic vertical logo in both the standard QLogic blue color (PMS 661 Blue) and in black.

2Using Logos

The QLogic Logo

QL0030902-00 F 2-5

Horizontal Logo

The “horizontal” logo is used primarily on building signage and event signage. Other acceptable uses include:

Promotional merchandise (when the vertical logo is not feasible) Any use where the vertical and justified logos are not feasible

All uses must be approved by Corporate Marketing.

Figure 2-6 shows examples of the horizontal logo.

Figure 2-6 QLogic Horizontal Logos

Approved ColorsThe QLogic logo can appear in the following colors:

QLogic Blue—PANTONE 661 (PMS 661) Preferably on a white or an off-white background.

BlackPreferably on a white or an off-white background.

WhiteOnly on a solid QLogic Blue background color (see example shown in Figure 2-5).

For most applications, the QLogic Blue logo should be used.

When product processes prevent the use of QLogic Blue, the black-and-white version of the logotype should be used.

2Using Logos

The QLogic Logo

Correct and Incorrect UsageOnly one format (vertical, justified, or horizontal) may be used in the same document or application.

The QLogic signature, color palette, and typography are the primary elements of the brand identity.

To maximize the opportunity for visual recall, apply QLogic logos consistently as specified in these guidelines, and in the electronic artwork provided by Corporate Marketing.

Ensure that you do not violate these usage restrictions:

Never place the logotype above the symbol.

Never use the symbol without the logotype.

Never use colors other than PMS 661, white, or black.

Never skew or distort the symbol or logotype.

Never place the symbol and logotype on a colored background (either use the reverse white-on-blue version or place on a white background).

Never replace the logotype with any other font.

Figure 2-7 shows a few examples of incorrect usage. The incorrect usage examples apply to all three versions of the logo.

Trademark SymbolsQLogic uses the following trademark symbols:

Registered Trademark. The registered trademark symbol (®) denotes that QLogic property is registered through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Trademarks. The trademark symbol (™) indicates that we, as a company, have either filed an “intent to use form” with the USPTO or plan to protect the property in the future. Trademarks are used mainly to protect products.

Service marks. The service mark symbol (SM) provides the same protection as a ™ and is used to distinguish and protect the company’s programs and services that are unique from those offered by other companies.

Copyrights. The copyright symbol (©) indicates protection of “original works of authorship,” both published and unpublished. The copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter, and the symbol is used similar to trademark and service marks, protecting the author’s work. Copyrights are registered by the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress.
