Strategic Overview

1.0

Simply put, the Brand Identity and Design Standards exist to provide clear, reliable and enduring
guidance on how to use the Brand Elements and how to design for the Coca-Cola Zero Brand
Identity around the world.
The importance of the Brand Standards, however, is anything but utilitarian. They are central to our
ongoing commitment to:
1. Maintain authenticity and build Brand equity;
2. Leverage the scale of our System across all markets;
3. Provide more consistency and quality; and
4. Facilitate increased System productivity.
Understanding how the Brand Standards fit into and affect all Brand touchpoints is a precursor to
using the Brand Standards. This chapter examines both.

they are actively taking the lead
on determining who they can be.

Identity Standards: Core Brand Elements and Standards

2.02

Overview
Core Brand Elements are the building blocks of the Brand
Identity and Design Standards. These simple and timeless
elements play an inextricable role in portraying and protecting our
Brand across all touchpoints.
Consistently using a common set of elements enables
integrated marketing communications, innovation and maximum
System scale. It is therefore essential that any work for
the Coca-Cola Zero Brand be approached in a manner that:
Faithfully applies the Identity Standards for the Core Brand
Elements, while
Reinforcing the Design Principles (reviewed in the Strategic
Overview Chapter 1.0).
This chapter provides an overview of each Core Brand Element
heritage, equity, relevance and standards for using them.
$SSURYHGGLJLWDOOHVRIWKH&RUH%UDQG(OHPHQWVFXVWRPL]DEOH
graphics and design templates for Packaging, POS and
Equipment are available on the Design Machine website at

Coca-Cola Zero Logo


The Coca-Cola Zero Logo is the primary asset for the
Coca-Cola Zero Brand and is the preferred Logo to
represent this Brand.
The Spencerian Script, carried over from the Coca-Cola Brand,
is visually locked together with the Zero Logo, which is
designed to express the bold confidence and masculinity of
the Brand. Together they form a holistic representation of the
Coca-Cola Zero Brand that reflects the heritage of the original
Coca-Cola Trademark.
The Spencerian Script that is used for the
Coca-Cola Trademark should never be used for anything
other than the trademarks incorporating Coca-Cola
and Coke, as well as the trade names of
The Coca-Cola Company, its subsidiaries and its Bottlers.
We are committed to using the Coca-Cola Zero Logo in its
purest original form. By boldly using the Script and "Zero"
lockup on its own or in combination with other elements, we
can create executions that retain the true essence of the
Coca-Cola Brand, yet fashions an enduring and unique vision
for the Coca-Cola Zero Brand.
Use only the approved versions of the Coca-Cola Zero Logo
available on the Design Machine website.

Arden Square
The Arden Square is the namesake of designer Elizabeth
Arden, who also created the Dynamic Ribbon. It was
introduced to the public in 1969.
The original design of the Arden Square was an ingenious
blending of three elements distinctive to Coca-Cola: The
Spencerian Script, the Dynamic Ribbon and Coke Red.
Similarly, the Coca-Cola Zero Brand's Arden Square blends
three featured elements: The Coca-Cola Zero Logo, the
Dynamic Ribbon and black.
Its exceptional scalability enables bold and simple branding
on virtually any medium. In fact, the Coca-Cola Company
$UGHQ6TXDUHPDGHIDVKLRQKLVWRU\LQWKHHDUO\
VZKHQ
it was applied in a checkerboard style to bell-bottom pants
and other popular items of apparel.
More than thirty years later, the Arden Square is still used
to capture consumers' attention, albeit in more
traditional applications.
Refer to the following pages for the standards specific to the
Arden Square.

Packaging: Graphic Design Standards


The Brand Identity and Design Standards support a unified Trademark strategy for Coca-Cola,
Diet Coke/Coca-Cola light and Coca-Cola Zero. It is based on the use of iconic Brand Elements,
central to which are the Coca-Cola Zero Logo, the Contour Bottle, the Dynamic Ribbon and solid
background colors.
The following pages provide guidance on using these Elements to consistently execute the strategy
in your market.

Packaging: Form Design Standards


The Contour Bottle is the standard package for Coca-Cola Zero. Universally recognized, the Contour
Bottle evokes the heritage of the Coca-Cola Zero Brand and expresses the uplifting experience of
drinking a Coca-Cola Zero.
The Global Standard Contour Bottle is the archetype from which we derive the rules for packaging
executions in all markets and across a range of materials and sizes.

Trademark Usage Requirements

8.01

Trademark Policies of The Coca-Cola Company


Our trademarks include some of the best-known and most
well-recognized trademarks in the world. As a result, our
trademarks are among the most valuable assets of TCCC.
If they are used properly, TCCCs valuable and distinctive
trademarks can be kept forever. However, with improper
use, we run the risk of losing one or more of our trademarks
altogether.
Because of the importance of TCCCs trademarks, it is
the policy of TCCC that all employees of TCCC must help
safeguard its trademarks and be aware of the rules and
guidelines for proper use of TCCCs trademarks. These
policies and procedures for trademark protection and use
should be followed to ensure consistent use and continued
protection of our trademarks. The policies apply regardless
of whether a proposed use of TCCCs trademarks is
internal or external.
There are a number of trademark use rules that apply to all
of TCCCs trademarks. Consistent use of TCCCs marks in
accordance with these rules strengthens the rights in
TCCCs marks and enhances their value. Exceptions, rarely,
if ever, should be made. If you believe that an exception to
any of these rules is appropriate, advance approval must be
obtained. These rules include the following:
A trademark should, whenever possible, be used as an
adjective and followed by a generic term, so that it is clear
that the trademark refers to a specific product that is of a
particular type.
Example: Drink COCA-COLA ZERO soft-drinks.
If the context is clear that the reference is to a specific
product of TCCC identified by the trademark, a trademark
can also be used as a proper noun. Trademarks of TCCC,

Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0

well known and famous trademarks (such as COCA-COLA


and COKE) can also be used as proper nouns. Example:
Correct : Enjoy a COKE ZERO.
Incorrect: I bought a ZERO yesterday.
If a trademark is used as a proper noun, care must be taken
that the trademark is not used in a way that suggests that it is
an everyday, generic term for a type of product. For this
reason, use of a trademark as a proper noun should be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis by appropriate TCCC
Trademark Counsel.
Use of our trademarks in the possessive or plural forms is
discouraged, and all such uses must be approved by the
appropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel. Example:
Correct: 2 Coca-Cola Zero products for $4
Incorrect : 2 Coke Zeros for $4
A trademark should never be used as a generic name for a
category of products, or as a verb, a common noun, or any
part of speech other than an adjective or a proper noun. Our
rights to our trademarks are strengthened and maintained
when we use them properly and do not suggest that they are
common, everyday terms that can be used to refer to
products of many companies.
In materials distributed outside TCCC, a trademark should,
whenever possible, be displayed in a format that sets it apart
from other text, makes it stand out, and indicates that it is a
trademark, such as in all CAPITAL LETTERS, in quotation
marks, or in a special script, italics, or bold print.

In creating slogans that include trademarks, do not use


hyphens to link the trademarks to other words in the slogan.
Incorrect Example: Hoorah-Coca-Cola Zero.
Do not change in any way the spelling of a word mark.
For example, do not change the spelling of
COCA-COLA ZERO so that it reads COKA-KOLA ZERO.
Beverage products should not be described as original
or genuine or otherwise identified in a way that could
suggest that others have similar products. Examples of
such exceptions are: the phrase Original Formula used
for COCA-COLA ZERO.
Brand Integrity Principles
There are certain trademark use principles that relate to the
integrity of the brands in connection with which TCCCs
trademarks are used. Those principles generally relate to
making consistent use of trademarks in a particular way and
avoiding combining the elements or identities of different
brands. They are designed to ensure that TCCCs
trademarks are used in ways that strengthen TCCCs rights
in each of its trademarks.
For trademarks that have a particular typeface, font,
presentation or design element associated with them, use
only graphic presentations that are approved.
Presenting the trademark COCA-COLA in Spencerian script.

Example: This store sells COKE, DIET COKE and


COCA-COLA ZERO.

Trademark Usage Requirements

8.02

Trademark Policies of The Coca-Cola Company


Particular typefaces, fonts, presentations and design elements
are generally associated with only one brand. Do not use
elements that have been approved for one brand with a
different brand. Example:
Correct: Using the Dynamic Ribbon Device with brand
COCA-COLA ZERO.
Incorrect: Using the Dynamic Ribbon Device with brand
FANTA.
Do not add any graphic or other design elements to an
existing trademark of TCCC without approval for the use of
those additional elements. For example, adding additional
flourishes to the letters of COCA-COLA when it is presented
in Spencerian script.
Certain of the containers and packaging used by TCCC are
proprietary to TCCC and can serve as trademarks. You must
never use the Contour Bottle on FANTA, ODWALLA, SPRITE
or other products other than COCA-COLA brand beverages.
Slogans should be used only in connection with the product
for which they are intended. Example:
Correct: Coca-Cola Zero, Its Possible.
Incorrect: Coke Zero, Obey Your Thirst.
There are many ways in which TCCCs trademarks can be
adapted, modified and/or combined with other materials.
Such variations can sometimes strengthen the original
trademark, but could sometimes be potentially damaging for
legal or other reasons. All such variations could result in the
creation of a new trademark that could infringe the rights of
other parties and therefore would need to be searched and
cleared prior to use. For these reasons, it is important that all
such proposed variations be submitted for approval to the
appropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel prior to use.

Coca-Cola Zero | Brand Identity and Design Standards_v1.0

The addition of a prefix or suffix to a trademark, or otherwise


using an existing trademark as a stem for a new word or
trademark is an improper variation. Example:
Incorrect: Using words or phrases such as COKEVILLE
or ZEROtastic.
Alteration of any of the words of a slogan trademark is an
improper variation of the trademark. Example:
Incorrect: Using slogans such as That is Possible
instead of Its Possible.
There are many occasions when one or more of TCCCs
trademarks is used together with trademarks owned by others.
Such situations can arise in conjunction with sponsorship by
TCCC of events or organizations (such as the Olympics or
the FIFA World Cup), as part of joint promotional activities,
and/or in advertising or other uses by parties that have a right
to use our trademarks.
All uses of trademarks of TCCC together with trademarks
owned by other companies should be reviewed and approved
by the appropriate TCCC Trademark Counsel.
When a trademark of another party appears on packaging or
in advertising for one of TCCCs beverage products, the
relationship between the other party and TCCC must be clear
from the context, and the materials must reflect that only
TCCCs trademark is the trademark for the beverage product.
All such uses must be reviewed by the appropriate TCCC
Trademark Counsel or Operations Counsel, in accordance
with the standard practice of your Group, so that clarifying
language can be added if necessary.
With limited exceptions, legal lines must accompany our
trademarks whenever a trademark of another party appears
with one of our trademarks, whether on packaging, vending
machines, the Internet or otherwise. Such legal lines must
identify the trademarks owned by TCCC and assert TCCCs
ownership of them.

Example: XYZ is a registered trademark of XYZ Associates,


Inc. COCA-COLA ZERO and the Dynamic Ribbon
Device are trademarks of The Coca-Cola Company.
Even in cases where the third party does not require a legal
line, we still need to insert the appropriate TCCC legal line.
Every term in the corporate name The Coca-Cola Company
should have the initial letter capitalized, including the letter T
in the word The.
The trademark COCA-COLA ZERO should always be
presented as a unitary phrase, and the words Coca and
Cola and Zero should not be split on different lines
or separated. When using word processing programs,
use a non-breaking hyphen for the hyphen in
COCA-COLA ZERO.
Spencerian script that is used for the COCA-COLA trademark
should not be used for anything other than trademarks incorporating COCA-COLA, COKE, DIET COKE, COCA-COLA
LIGHT and COCA-COLA ZERO and the trade names of The
Coca-Cola Company, its subsidiaries and its bottlers.
The hyphen in COCA-COLA ZERO is an integral part of the
trademark. Always include the hyphen whenever the trademark
is displayed, even if the materials on which the graphics are
based are archival pieces that do not include the hyphen.
Do not suggest that the shape of the COCA-COLA Contour
Bottle (or any other proprietary bottle) has a functional
benefit. Refer to such bottles as containers or packaging that
are distinctive and identify TCCCs products. Example:
WRONG: The shape of the Contour Bottle makes it easier to
get a firm grip on the bottle.
Use the Dynamic Ribbon Device only in relation to the
COCA-COLA family of beverages or as a reference to
TCCC. Do not combine the Dynamic Ribbon Device with
third-party trademarks to create a new design or trademark.

Principles for Alignment to Standards
The Identity and Design Standards are meant to drive quality,
consistency and productivity across the System worldwide.
It is the responsibility of each entity described herein to work
towards and have a plan for aligning to the Identity and
Design Standards.
An assessment process will be put in place so that,
periodically, the Company can understand our progress.
Principles for Exceptions
The Standards, as written, should be the overwhelming norm.
Therefore, exceptions should be very limited.

should be started until an approval has been granted.
An exception may have a maximum presence in market of
3 months and may only be leveraged once per year.
