Guidance

Using the brand portal

Corporate identity

Corporate identities are about a company’s values, visions, substance and intentions. They determine to a considerable degree how the world perceives it as an employer, supplier, customer, object of investment or social partner.

Corporate design

Corporate design (CD) is the most apparent part of any corporate identity. It is the visual expression of the image and values to which a company aspires. Accordingly, to promote and strengthen our image, the corporate design guidance contained in this brand portal defines the visual style of communication of the Komax Group.

Objective

Corporate design is more than a collection of guiding principles. It is something we live by every day, and we therefore ask each one of you to not only observe this guidance at all times, but to personally strengthen our corporate image in exchange with our various stakeholders via different communication channels.

The brand portal helps users solve everyday design challenges and summarizes the parameters which we adhere to. The design examples demonstrate these principles across a number of areas of application.

By following the guidance and implementing the measures consistently across all channels, we can create a coherent brand image with the result that all our brands has an even greater impact in its respective regions and areas of business. Consistent application of these standards is critical to building a successful and sustainable future.

We thank you for your support and commitment.
