The logo

The logo
The word-image-mark is one of the most important Minimum height
components of the appearance. Defined in exact form and
colour, the logo becomes the distinguishing mark of the
foundation. The form and colour of the components of the
foundation brand are unchangeable. That is why only the
provided original files of the logo are to be used. The logo is
available for use on different backgrounds. The logo is the
entire lettering (figurative mark “F in a circle”) and the
typographic addition (Friedrich Naumann Foundation for
Freedom.). The “F in a circle” is used in the design as the
“supersign”. Minimum height 20 mm (offline) large view 40 mm (offline)

Minimum height 85 px (online) large view 151 px (online)


The logo has a claim to a defined minimum free space in
order to act as the harbinger of the foundation. An
appropriately dimensioned space strengthens the signal
effect of the sign and ensures its independence. As a
matter of principle, the placing of the foundation logo must Shelter / safety area
adhere to a defined protected space, which is defined in the
provided logo folders.
The logos are available in the following file versions

Print:
• .eps (freely scalable vector file) in 4c (colour),
special colours, black and white
• .jpg in 4c (colour) and black

Screen display:
• .jpg (freely scalable vector file) in RGB colour) and

The logo - Dos & Don’ts

The logo may not be distorted, rotated (except when using D1.
the logo wallpaper), separated or supplemented with
additional texts or information. The elements, colours and
proportions of the word-image mark are clearly defined and
must not be changed. Therefore, only the provided original
files for the respective logos are to be used.

D1. The logo must not be distorted or otherwise removed


from its proportions.

D2. The word-image mark may indeed be extended by, for


example, country office additions, but always in the given
grid. Deviations, as in this Don’t example, in the form of
other font styles or colours is not allowed. D2. D3.

Application
The superzoom is derived from the supersign. It can be
used as a graphic element to give layouts the look of the
new Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.
The superzoom is well suited for cover, chapter separators
or as in the example in a table of contents. In the first gate,
it is also suitable for full-surface images, for example, to
create a FNF corner on which the supersign can be placed.

Note the vertical standard application, which is
always placed on the right side. The URL is more
at the bottom, matching the layout. However, if
this is not possible, as with a beach flag, it may be
set as high as necessary.
To get a high quality print of freiheit.org, it is
imperative to provide a protected area at the edge. In
this way, flashes and incompleteness of the edge-
dropping element can be avoided. The protected area
of the URL is marked with a dashed line and is placed
in the bleed for printed products. Large view
If it is not possible to place the element on the right

Typography is an important part of corporate design because it
communicates our statements and political content. In addition to
good legibility and placidity, the fonts should have their own
characteristics, which ensures recognition.

Font - Roboto as a typeface
The well-developed and modern font family Roboto is The font Roboto Regular

media.

Roboto is a sans-serif, high-quality and well-


established font. Successful brands, such as Apple, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO

The colours of the appearance communicate the sender and

and values can be transported.

38
Colours

Blue remains the central colour of our appearance. Blue


stands for peace and quiet in the world of colours, and
therefore works against stress. In addition, blue is the
colour of loyalty, clarity and truth.

The main colour is complemented by the secondary colour


magenta. The colours are produced in common printed
products from the Euroskala (CMYK). Where CMYK cannot
be used, the special colours in Pantone and HKS are used.
Screen and web applications use RGB colours.

While the secondary colour provides a harmonious image, a


signal colour is used in addition, which clearly but
aesthetically stands out and draws the viewer’s attention to
the content.
The colour scheme on the right also shows the weighting of
the colours in use. The FNF blue is thus used primarily as a
colour in the design. In addition to the FNF blue, the
predominantly white design of the FNF appearance plays a CMYK CMYK CMYK
very important role. 100 58 09 30 00 100 00 00 59 00 30 00

Basic element - imagery
Imagery and imagery Icons and illustrations
The imagery is a crucial element of the CD. It defines the tonality and shapes the
perception of the visual appearance. The imagery of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation
for Freedom is authentic and natural.

47
Imagery - photo motifs

The imagery for theme motifs is genuine and unaffected.


We do not show advertisements, but images with character.
People can be seen in different situations
in the images. The important thing is that they are scenes from life and from
events, which correspond to the context. The images should
be exciting and may place a subtle demand on the viewer. What is important is
that every image has a feature that sticks with people.
Authenticity and the warmth of the images can can also
be achieved with motifs using natural light.

48
Imagery - Don'ts

In keeping with the uniformity of the visual


appearances of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for
Freedom, images such as these are not used on this
website:
Staged, meaningless and clichéd poses,
gestures and arrangements. Unnatural and promotional
style and tonality - we do not want any
“off the shelf” pictures. The motifs should not be too
dark, too light or without contrast. The depiction of
people should be beneficial and positive.

49
Imagery - in superzoom

The supersign can be used as an image section for a photo.


This is the case am things for special formats for a
brochure, DIN-long flyers and social media postings.

Linking the slopes of the supersign and the visual world


contributes to the recognition of the Friedrich Naumann
Foundation for Freedom on all communication channels.
The slope of the clipping must have a 15° incline. The slope
may expose the upper left corner of the format in the form
of a triangle, or the lower right corner. It is also possible to
expose both corners.

The dashed line shows the full shape of the supersign


clipping, which acts as a mask. The part in the square
shows the final visible image.

50
Imagery - Dont's in superzoom

There are many ways to place the supersign as an image in


a photo, but not everything is allowed. The corner points
must be outside the format and must not protrude into the
image. No rounded corners or parts of them should be able
to be seen in the image. Furthermore, the supersign clipping
may not be rotated or mirrored.

51
Imagery - pictograms
Basics Devices

Pictograms represent the easiest way to represent objects.


The colour scheme is simple and in blue.

These pictograms are particularly suitable for infographics.

If necessary, pictograms can also be created by yourself.


Here, however, make sure that they are basically flat and
have rounded corners - but do not look to childlike.
You must be able to insert the set of pictograms specified
here homogeneously.

Digital Other

52
Imagery - pictograms

To make something stand out even more, if necessary,


individual highlights can be set in the secondary colour
magenta. However, the main part must always remain blue
so that the highlighted character is not lost.
In addition, the pictograms can also be inverted, e.g. used in
white on blue.
This serves as a guideline and can be designed and
supplemented as required.

Highlighted Invert

53
Imagery - Icons

Pictograms can be combined to form icons.


This is especially helpful in publications - whether online or
offline.
The colour scheme is also limited to the blue levels that
have already been defined. However, magenta highlights
can be used again to create even more pop effects.
These icons can be created according to your needs.
Some important points in the design of new elements
include:

White space is an important element of the FNF imagery.


The strong contrast between white and blue creates icons
and illustrations that perfectly reflect the look and feel of
the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.

The main colour is always FNF blue. Most it is placed on


white, but there are also exceptions, such as the pennant
image in the middle of the A5 brochures of the FNF. In these
rare exceptions, the blue is the background colour and white
is the main content colour.

Magenta is always a highlight and is not an equivalent


colour to blue (or white).

The gradations of the two colours are not extra tones that
are used indiscriminately to produce maximally colourful
images. The gradations should instead add an interesting
twist in the otherwise withdrawn 2D optics.

This serves as a guideline and can be designed and


supplemented as required.

54
Imagery - Piktopeople

Male Female

Similar to the general collection of pictograms in the


corporate identity style, people are also visualised in the
simplest possible way.
Here, the visual special feature is to set accents in magenta
- for example, for people’s hair.

This serves as a guideline and can be designed and


supplemented as required.

Monochrome people Duochrome people

55
Imagery - infographics structure

Bar, pie and ring diagrams


In order to present information as simple and bold as possible, there are
various types of infographics.

These include bars, pie and ring charts.

In order for these infographics to be integrated homogeneously into the


Foundation's presentation, the following guidelines must be observed.

In general, it should be noted that the highest possible contrasts are


created for online publications, whereas for printed products these tend
to be subtle.
Lines are to be drawn in 2pt.

Backgrounds for any type of infographic should be solid colours in white,


primary or secondary colours.

All font colours from the colour selection are allowed on a white
background.

In the case of a coloured background, attention must always be paid to


high contrast between the font and the background (e.g. white font on
magenta).

In principle, gradations of the primary colour are to be used for the


illustration, so that the secondary colour can be used as a contrast to the
emphasis for the main information.

Headings should be kept in Roboto Black, numbers and copy in Roboto


Regular.

Texts in round graphics are centred; texts in bar charts are left aligned.

References are always in white on a coloured box on the bottom right,


flush with the edge or flush with the information at the far right. If the
background is not white, a white frame must be drawn to delineate the
box.
Pictograms may be used in the middle of ring diagrams.

Imagery - infographics Don'ts

Dont’s
In order to allow legible contrasts and aesthetically pleasing
graphics, there are some rules when creating new graphics
in the FNF look.

When constructing the graphics attention should be paid to


a high level of legibility and clarity of information. Therefore,
too small font and/or low or poor contrast must be avoided.
For example, small magenta-coloured text on a blue
background, thin blue lines on a magenta background or
generally small graphics must be avoided.

Too many different shades within a graphic should be


avoided. Likewise, attention should be paid to the
meaningfulness of the use of colour gradations.

Pictograms should not have outlines - these are an option


only for contrast problems. As a rule, they should be
avoided in favour of a clean look on it.

This means that the look and tonality of the new CD must also be

Many people come into contact with the foundation for the

Different types of Facebook postings require a certain
amount of creative freedom.
Because postings are often shared on social media, it is
important to provide each post with a distinctive look that
clearly identifies the Foundation for Freedom as the sender,
as well as provide clear categorisation within the Facebook
page.

Appropriate specifications have been developed for this


purpose,
which are always to be observed for a clean visual
appearance.

The format is always 1:1.

With Sharepics and picture postings, only one white corner


is placed over the picture in the lower right corner.

Quote posts get a white corner panel on which the


corresponding quote is set in blue. The sender is placed in
Text post Quote on a liberal background
white letters on a magenta box.

Text posts consist of blue letters on a white background,


framed with blue corners at the top and bottom.

White font with blue accents on background in magenta is


also the default for quote posts.

This is a „This is a

The different posting types can also be published in

They only have to be in a 1:1 format for this in a carousel that

risking the message being torn and scattered by the algorithm.

A profile picture must also be placed on Instagram as well.


The supersign is used for this as well.

In addition to the profile image, a new cover photo has to be


created for each story highlight.

Quotations can also be published without pictures.

As a template for text to be inserted into Instagram, there is

When an image is published, the tools in Instagram Stories


will give it the look that is appropriate for the channel, but
the colour will still have to be oriented to the defined
colours.

For example, all stickers that come with the Toolbox from
Instagram Stories can also be used.
These can be poll stickers as well as countdowns, open

It is important that the Stories blend organically into the

To digitally enable a consistent look


small details, such as buttons are to be customised

Alternatively, buttons can also be designed with the

For the member area, the accent colour is the default


for easy orientation.
Here you can either use a button in white with frame

E-Mail footer

Branding also cannot be missing from e-mail


correspondence.

That is why each employee receives a corresponding


signature for their e-mails, which is then sent with each
e-mail.

So all important contact information, as well as logo


and social media buttons are always at hand.

Since most of the information remains the same from


employee to employee, only the most important part -
the name - is in the accent colour, while the rest of the

actual content. So as you look at the last strips, the video is
already starting. Please do not put a black screen in
between.

Video content - logo outro

Similar to the intro, the corresponding outro must be used


with all video content.
It starts the way the intro ends - so the animation is also to
be used as a transition again, with the stripes covering the
last frame. FNF
Again, please do not put a black screen in between.

Video content of the blurb

For video content, it is not uncommon for blurbs to be


used, for example, to explain people or situations that
can be seen in the video and to explain the context to
the viewer clearly and simply.

These blurbs placed in the lower left as faded boxes.


The blurb builds up diagonally, analogous to the
superzoom.

Video content YouTube thumbnails

Next to the actual content,


Youtube thumbnails are the most important feature
and determine
the viewing rate.
It is important to represent the video content as
striking and appealing as possible.

To this end, corner boxes are placed on the bottom


right above a picture containing a headline.

These can either be white and labelled blue (if That is a That is a
necessary with highlight in magenta), or blue with
white text. Thumbnail on YT Thumbnail on YT
On a blue background, however, it should be noted
that no highlights may be set in magenta.

Optionally, a supersign is possible in the upper left


corner.
In addition, instead of an image, you can simply use
a white background with the full logo. That is a
