Introduction
Welcome…
Welcome to the Invensys brand guidelines. The Invensys brand is an
increasingly important asset in an increasingly competitive world. These
guidelines are for those responsible for managing and building the
Invensys brand.
These guidelines provide information about the overall brand framework,
basic elements and messaging. The Invensys basic elements cover the
brand mark, colour, typography, imagery, supporting graphic devices
and composition. They describe how these elements come together to
create a look and feel that is uniquely Invensys.
The guidelines are an important tool in ensuring that the Invensys
brand is presented and expressed correctly and consistently across
all applications.
Your help in doing this is invaluable and will help to build an even
stronger Invensys brand now and for the future.
Thank you.

Our ambition for the company
1.01 Brand framework The Invensys vision
“An integrated, cohesive, sustainable
and high-performing organisation.”
Invensys brand story
In September 2008, we began a journey to reposition
Invensys and build a strong brand for the future – a brand
that positions Invensys as an unquestioned leader where
the total is greater than the sum of the parts.
Our brand, outlined in these guidelines, is a powerful
expression of who we are and who we want to be. It is
based on our belief in the power of our open approach
and is a reflection of our culture, our values
and the benefit we bring our clients.
It is the reflection of our ambition to become a
cohesive, integrated organisation, built on our shared
values, shared knowledge and a core technology
platform across our entire organisation.
It is an integral element in helping us complete our
journey from being seen as an engineering and
manufacturing company, to being seen as a customer-
centric solutions provider renowned for technology
and software solutions.
By using these guidelines whenever we develop our
communications, we can ensure that we reinforce a
consistent and cohesive brand across the organisation
and across the world. In doing so, we will build a world-
class, global brand that will help us compete on a
global scale.

The Invensys brand mark
Here is the Invensys brand mark, it has been specially
created for Invensys and exists as a unique set of
master artworks.
The Invensys small size brand mark
A small size version of the Invensys brand mark is also
available. See Figure 2. Please see page 2.09 for more
detailed information about the small size version.
Trademark and registered symbols
Although not shown on this page, there are versions of
the Invensys brand mark that carry the ™ symbol and
2.04 Basic elements Brand mark: terminology
another that carries the ® symbol. These are shown on
page 2.09. Please consult your legal department for when
to use these versions as usage may vary from region
to region.
All the principles described throughout these guidelines
that apply to the standard Invensys brand mark also
apply to the versions that carry ™ and ® symbols unless
specified otherwise.
Master artworks
The brand mark should only be reproduced from
master artworks and should not be redrawn or altered
in any way. The master artworks are available in various
electronic formats, for both Mac and PC, and are available
from Invensys Corporate Marketing.
Writing Invensys in text
When writing Invensys in text, it should be written
as in this sentence, with an initial capital letter at the start
of the word. Do not use all capital or all lower case letters
when writing Invensys.

2.05 Basic elements Brand mark: colourways: primary colours
Brand mark colours
There are only three colours for the Invensys brand mark
itself which are Invensys Green, black and white. These
colours are used only on particular backgrounds as shown
in Figure 3.
For more information about Invensys corporate
colours see pages 2.15-2.18.
The background colours shown in Figure 3 are Invensys
primary colours only. For more detailed information
about use on other backgrounds see page 2.06.
The Invensys brand mark should be coloured Invensys
Green on a light-coloured background on all applications
wherever possible.
When Invensys Green is not available, then the brand
mark should be coloured black or white, e.g. when the
number of colours are restricted on black and white
newspaper advertisements.

2.07 Basic elements Brand mark: clear space area
Invensys brand mark minimum clear space area
To ensure prominence and legibility, the Invensys brand
mark is always surrounded by an area of clear space which
remains free of other elements, such as type and imagery.
The minimum area of clear space, shown in Figure 5,
is illustrated by a dotted rectangular box containing
the Invensys brand mark. This box does not print. Its
construction is based on multiples of ‘n’ from the Invensys
brand mark. This clear space area is a minimum and
should be increased wherever possible. When using the
Invensys brand mark that carries the Trademark ™ or
Registered ® symbol, the minimum clear space follows the
same principles.
Reduced minimum clear space
For exceptional applications, the minimum clear space
area can be reduced to 1.5 n. This is an exception and
should always be approved by Invensys Corporate
Marketing.
Note: The master artworks have a clear space box built
into the artwork file to help with maintaining the clear
space when designing with the brand mark. This box
does not print.

Brand mark alignment points
There are four main alignment points for the Invensys
brand mark, as shown in Figure 6.
They should be used when aligning other graphic
elements, such as type and imagery, with the Invensys
brand mark. By using these alignment points it helps to
create consistent alignment and a better visual balance
between the Invensys brand mark and the other
graphic elements.

2.09 Basic elements Brand mark: measuring and minimum size
How to size the Invensys brand mark
To specify the size of the Invensys brand mark measure
across the dimension shown in Figure 7.
The brand mark can be enlarged or reduced in size.
The standard Invensys brand mark does not have a
maximum size, although it does have a minimum, as
shown in Figure 8.
Small size brand mark
For applications where a brand mark is required at a
small size (below 30mm) a small size brand mark has been
created. Its size range is from 30mm down to 20mm.
Measure bar
Whenever possible, depending on the digital file format,
brand marks have a measure bar built into the master
artwork to make measuring the brand mark easier. The
measure bar itself does not print.
Always ensure that the brand mark is scaled
in proportion and is not distorted in any way.
Minimum sizes
There are fixed minimum sizes for each of the Invensys
brand marks, 30mm for the standard brand mark with
or without a legal symbol and 20mm for the small size
brand mark with or without a legal symbol. These sizes
have been determined to ensure maximum clarity for all
elements at small sizes.

2.10 Basic elements Brand mark: position on applications
Asymmetric compositions
The Invensys visual identity uses asymmetric
compositions to add dynamism and modernity. This
approach also applies to the positioning of the Invensys
brand mark on applications.
Invensys brand mark positioning
When applying the Invensys brand mark there are four
positions which could be used (see Figure 9). Positions 1,
2 and 3 are the preferred positions. In some exceptional
circumstances, the Invensys brand mark can be centred
either top or bottom.
If space is seriously restricted, use the minimum
clear space area to position the brand mark.
Position 1: Top left Position 2: Top right
Position 3: Bottom rightPosition 4: Bottom left

redrawn, recoloured or manipulated in any way.
Please ensure that the Invensys brand mark is used
correctly at all times.

Invensys brand mark with divisional descriptors
The Invensys brand mark can be used with one of three
divisional descriptors as shown in Figure 11. These
are used to identify the three business divisions within
Invensys. No other divisional descriptors or names can
be used with the Invensys brand mark in this way. These
versions are provided as Mac Illustrator templates.
Figure 11. Invensys brand marks with descriptors.
2.12 Basic elements Brand mark: divisional descriptors
- 18. Sections Contents ReverseInvensys brand guidelines. June 2009 ©Invensys. Version 1.0
How to use
The principles that apply to the standard Invensys brand
mark such as colourways, minimum sizes, etc. apply also
to the versions using the divisional descriptors unless
specified otherwise. The minimum clear space area is
different to the standard Invensys brand mark as shown in
Figure 12.
Creating the Invensys brand mark
with a divisional descriptor
To create a brand mark with a divisinal descriptor, first
size the Invensys brand mark to 60mm, and using the
measure of ‘n’ construct a series of guides which will
help you align the divisional descriptor. The divisional
descriptor type is set in Avenir Next Pro Regular, 12.4pt
with 119 inter-character spacing applied (Adobe®
Illustrator® software). Outline this type and group it with
the Invensys brand mark.
Invensys divisional descriptors in text
Write the Invensys divisional descriptors in the following
way; Invensys Rail, Invensys Controls, Invensys Operations
Management. All use initial capital letters when written
in text.

Figure 13. The Invensys primary corporate colours and colour balance.
Invensys primary colours
Invensys has six primary corporate colours – white,
Invensys Green, black, Invensys Grey 3, Invensys Grey 2,
and Invensys Grey 1.
These colours are used to give a clean, crisp, light, fresh
appearance. The colours work together well as a set and
also help to differentiate Invensys from its competitors.
Please match all colours to the coated Pantone® swatches
irrespective of the paper stock or material used.
White and black
White and black are used primarily for text and
backgrounds.
2.15 Basic elements Corporate colours: primary
Invensys Green
Invensys Green is used only for the Invensys brand mark,
the i-path, smaller graphics and large text headings (see
page 2.25). Invensys Green is not used for smaller-sized
body text or large background areas. Invensys Green
should be used as a highlight colour only.
When corporate colours are used together, the relative
amounts of each colour should match approximately
the colour balance shown in Figure 13 above.
Metallic silver
In addition to the primary colours above, for print
applications a metallic silver ink (Invensys Silver, Pantone
877 C) has been chosen for special uses to replace
InvensysGreen

Invensys Grey 2. This metallic silver provides a feeling of
technical precision. This colour should only be used as
an ink in print applications and although we have shown
it here it must not be simulated using gradations or other
techniques.
Tints
When using tints of the corporate colours, please ensure
all colours are specified correctly by referring to Figure 17
on page 2.17.
Note: The colours shown throughout these electronic
guidelines are not accurate colour matches and will vary
on different computer monitors and when output.

2.18 Basic elements Corporate colours: specification chart
In lieu of the Invensys primary and secondary corporate
colours specified throughout these guidelines, you
may use the Pantone®* colours shown in Figure 18,
the standards for which are shown in the current
edition of the Pantone Color Formula Guide 1000.
Colour swatches
Colour swatches must always be used for matching
when reproducing the corporate colours. The coated
Pantone colours act as the master colour references
to which all other colour specifications should be
matched to.
Colour breakdowns
Shown in Figure 18 are the recommended process colour
breakdowns for the Invensys colours. The process colour
breakdowns are provided as starting points and can be
adjusted to compensate for different paper stocks and
printing processes, etc., in order to match the Pantone
coated colour swatches more accurately.
The RGB and Hex values give the same result
on-screen. RGB values are provided for web
designers, whereas the Hex values are provided
for web programmers.

Our system font
Verdana is a system font that is pre-installed on most
computers. Verdana is used only for all on-screen and
office-based applications such as the Invensys website,
Microsoft® PowerPoint® and Word®, etc. This ensures
(both internally and externally) that on receipt of any
templates and on viewing websites they can be seen and
used as they were intended without the font defaulting to
a different font.
Verdana is never used in print applications unless
specified otherwise.
2.24 Basic elements Typography: system font
Verdana was chosen from the system fonts as being
closest in appearance to Avenir Next Pro and is also one
of the most legible fonts for on-screen use. Verdana is
available in Regular and Bold weights along with italics
of each weight.
Verdana colourways – headings
On a white background, when Verdana is used in large
sizes, such as headings or secondary headings, it can be
coloured using all of the primary colours; either Invensys
Green, black, white, Invensys Grey 3, Grey 2 or Grey 1.
Verdana colourways – body text
On a white background, when Verdana is used as body
text it can be coloured either black, white, Invensys Grey 3
or Invensys Grey 2.
Note: Verdana should not be used for setting text in print
applications etc., unless specified otherwise. Avenir Next
Pro and Foundry Plek are the Invensys corporate fonts and
should be used wherever possible.
- 24. Sections Contents ReverseInvensys brand guidelines. June 2009 ©Invensys. Version 1.0
Invensys typographic styling
Just as important as the choice of corporate font,
is the way in which the type is set.
A distinctive and consistent Invensys typographic style
can be achieved by applying the following typographic
principles wherever possible.
Do set type…
1 With large display headings in Avenir Next Pro Ultra
Light, using sentence case.
2 In sentence case when setting body text (unless
specified otherwise).
3 Using italic for emphasis in preference to heavier
weights (especially within body text).
4 Ranged left in body text (there should not be
word breaks in ranged left setting), while manually
adjusting the text for best results.
5 With plenty of surrounding clear space wherever
possible to help frame the text.
6 With half line paragraph spaces (in preference
to paragraph indents) when space allows it.
7 With generous line spacing.
8 Keeping punctuation to a minimum.
9 With careful character spacing.
2.27 Basic elements typography: styling
10 To optimum measures of 8–12 words per line,
wherever possible.
11 Using true single and double quotation marks (‘,“)
not the default feet and inch marks (',").
12 With dashes that are true en dashes (–) and not
hyphens (-).
13 Using hanging punctuation wherever possible.
14 With great care and sensitivity.
Do not set type…
1 With Text That Use Capital Letters On The First
Letter Of Every Word As Shown Here. X
2 in all lower case letters. X
3 Justified (left and right justified together,
as shown here). X
4 That has been altered, artificiallycondensed,
e x p a n d e d / s t r e t c h e d in any way. X
5 That uses special effects, such as drop shadows,
, or underlines (unless an underline denotes
a hyperlink), etc. X
6 With excessive additional intercharac ter space,
or reduced intercharacter space. X
7 To fill all the available white space on a page. X
8 In fonts other than the corporate fonts specified
in these guidelines. X
Adhering to these simple principles will give typographic
consistency across all applications and help to
strengthen recognition of the Invensys identity.
Using text on a background colour
It is important that text is legible against its background
colour. Refer to the table below for recommended colour
combinations. The secondary colours are not to be used
to colour text, although on secodary colours text can be
coloured either black or white.

2.29 Basic elements Supporting graphic device – the i-path: introduction
Introducing the i-path
The i-path is derived from the ‘i’ of the Invensys brand
mark. It can be used to create an unlimited number of
differently shaped paths. The i-path represents a unique
idea that Invensys brings to a particular problem or
scenario and it maps a route from A to B, or from problem
to solution. Different paths suggest different ideas and
different solutions.
Invensys brand mark and i-path
The i-path is the main supporting graphic device that
provides strong recognition for the Invensys brand. It
is utilised when the Invensys brand mark is used and
appears on every major brand application, see Figure 26.
In its construction, the i-path is a simple extension of
the Invensys ‘i’ from the brand mark, with the same
proportions, see Figure 27. The i-path has rounded
external corners, and sharp inside corners. The round,
ball-like part of the i-path is called the ‘Dot’. The longer
section is called the ‘Stem’.
A single i-path per application
Only one i-path can be used per application. Multiple
i-paths are not used together on one application as it
may suggest confusion and create a composition that
is far too busy.
Figure 26. The i-path is used when the Invensys brand mark is used.
Figure 27. The proportions of the i-path and the
‘i’ from the Invensys brand mark are the same.

- 27. Sections Contents ReverseInvensys brand guidelines. June 2009 ©Invensys. Version 1.0
Different forms of i-path
The i-path stands for different ideas and as such it
can take many different forms. The Dot of the i-path
represents the front of the path which the Stem is
following. The path that the i-path creates should
look very deliberate and simple.
Scaling and proportion
The Dot and the Stem scale up and down in size in
proportion to each other.
Energy and life in the i-path
The i-path should have a feeling of energy and life and
provide a sense of movement and visual interest to
a composition. The i-path should ideally move from
left to right and/or upwards in a positive way. Moving
downwards may be read as being negative and moving
right to left (the opposite to how we read in the West)
may be regarded as going backwards. The i-path should
always suggest positive, forward movement.

Figure 29. The five ways of using the i-path.
Using the i-path
The i-path can be used in a variety of ways: within a page,
bleeding onto a page, bleeding onto a page with cropped
Dot, bleeding both onto and out of a page and in a way
that gives the impression of perspective.
The i-path within a page
The i-path can be used within a page, surrounded by
space. It can be placed off-centre or centred.
The i-path bleeding onto a page
The i-path can bleed on to a page from either the top,
bottom or left-hand side. For the minimum amount of
i-path that should be visible see page 2.33.
The i-path bleeding onto a page with a cropped Dot
The i-path can bleed on to a page from either the bottom,
top or left-hand side and the Dot may be cropped.
The i-path with a section bleeding onto and out of a page
A section of the i-path can bleed onto and out of a page,
as long as the Dot returns to the page and the i-path is not
‘broken’ on more than one occasion. It should be designed
so it is easy for the eye to complete the missing section.
The i-path in perspective
The i-path can be used with perspective when it is
combined with a photographic image. It should reflect
the perspective in the image accurately.

When constructing the i-path first decide what your i-path
will look like. It can be long, thick or thin, geometric or
organic, it can even overlap itself; see page 2.31, Figure 29.
The Stem can combine straight areas, steps, diagonals or
curves together, although it is recommended to minimise
the number of different types used together in this way.
Constructing the i-path
Figure 31 shows how the i-path can be constructed using
Adobe® Illustrator® software. Other software can be used
to construct the i-path.
1. First draw a path/line using the pen tool.
2. Outline this stroke to the required thickness, setting
the options in the stroke window/tab to ‘round cap’
and ‘round join’.
3. Outline this stroke and remove the bottom hemisphere
of the i-path to create a flat base.
4. Place the Dot onto the Stem using the principles
shown in Figure 30.
The resulting i-path is in the same proportions to the ‘i’ in
the Invensys brand mark.
Length of the Stem of the i-path
The length of the Stem of the i-path can be extended to
suit the application if required.

2.33 Basic elements Supporting graphic device – the i-path: minimum amount
Minimum visible i-path
A minimum amount of i-path must be visible on an
application. The minimum amount is 3x as shown in
Figure 33.
This is a minimum and the Stem can be lengthened
if necessary.
The distance between the Stem and the Dot is always
in the proportions shown, irrespective of the size of
the i-path.
If the Dot is to be cropped, see the following page for
how this is achieved.

Cropping the i-path Dot
1. To crop the Dot correctly scale your i-path to the
desired size.
2. Draw guidelines from the Stem over the Dot.
3. Where these guidelines intersect the circumference
furthest away from the Stem is the point where the Dot
is cropped.
Enough of the curve on the right-hand side of the Dot
needs to be visible so it can be recognised as a circular
shape that has been cropped.
The method illustrated in Figure 35 shows the area of
the Dot that should remain visible when using an i-path
travelling horizontally or vertically. An i-path travelling
at an angle when the Dot is cropped should retain
approximately the same Dot area on the page. This
will be determined visually and will depend on the
angle of the i-path.

tints should be used to colour the i-path.

How the i-path is used with imagery
Figure 37 shows how the i-path can be used in different
ways with imagery, ranging from being a key feature to
something that is more recessive. For more information
on Invensys imagery, refer to pages 2.50–2.59.

2.49 Basic elements Imagery: introduction
Invensys imagery types
Invensys imagery is divided into two types:
1. Cut-out.
2. Squared-up.
Both types use full-colour, photographic images that use
natural lighting and natural colours. They are generally
lighter in tone, with the subject always being sharp,
unambiguous and in focus (natural-looking depth of field
effects and subtle motion blur can be employed as long
as the subject remains clear and the image looks natural).
They are unstaged, unposed natural images that are in no
way artificial. There are no special photographic effects
Figure 50. Squared-up images.Figure 49. Cut-out images.
used such as exaggerated contrast or strong grain and no
visible image manipulation. Invensys imagery is honest,
direct and unambiguous.
Cut-out imagery
Cut-out imagery has the background removed in order to
focus entirely on the subject. The use of powerful, cut-out
photographic imagery helps to create a distinctive and
memorable Invensys look and feel. Cut-out imagery
should be used whenever possible for all primary Invensys
images such as covers, website home pages, exhibitions,
etc., especially where the Invensys brand mark is used.
White is the default background colour for cut-out
imagery, although it can appear on different coloured
backgrounds. Cut-out imagery is another key identifier
for the Invensys brand. For more detailed information
on cut-out imagery see pages 2.51-2.53.
Squared-up imagery
Squared-up imagery is used when a background is
necessary to add valuable context to the subject, as
shown in Figure 50.
Squared-up images can take any square or rectangular
shape. For more detailed information on squared-up
imagery see pages 2.54-2.57.

2.50 Basic elements Imagery: general principles – Invensys Green
Use of Invensys Green within imagery
Using images that have naturally occurring green
elements in them can be a subtle and effective way of
introducing green to help identify the Invensys brand.
Elements within an image that are to be coloured
Invensys Green, should appear green naturally. For
example, an image containing a green bowler hat
would be not allowed.

2.54 Basic elements Imagery: general principles – people
Cut-out people imagery
People imagery
People imagery is divided into two types:
1. Cut-out
2. Squared-up
Invensys imagery that features people is likely to show
either Invensys people, Invensys clients, their customers
or a mixture of all three.
Collaboration and images of people working together
should be given top priority when choosing people imagery.
People imagery should ideally use cut-outs, but squared-up
images can also be used if the background provides
necessary context.
People imagery checklist
The following checklist should be used when choosing
or commissioning people imagery:
1. Does it work as a cut-out?
2. Candid/real situations.
3. Collaboration.
4. Active people.
5. Bright, natural light.
6. Optimistic, positive scenes.
7. Consider a dynamic asymmetric placement in the composition.
8. Simple, clean, uncluttered, graphic shapes.
Consider the words and the message that needs to
be communicated when choosing people imagery, as
imagery and words need to work effectively together.

2.55 Basic elements Imagery: general principles – products
Product imagery
Product imagery is divided into two types:
1. Cut-out.
2. Squared-up.
These can be used in a variety of ways; a hero/beauty
shot photographed straight on, with or without a shadow,
bleeding off a page and a 3
/4 view.
Product imagery should ideally use cut-outs, but squared-
up images can also be used if the Invensys product needs
to be shown in its necessary context, e.g. within a client’s
device or product or with a background.
Product imagery checklist
1. Does it work as a cut-out?
2. Simple, clean, uncluttered, graphic shapes work best.
3. Bright, natural lighting (no artificially coloured lighting).
4. Consider a dynamic asymmetric placement of the
product in the composition.

Object imagery
Object imagery is divided into two types:
1. Cut-out.
2. Squared-up.
Object imagery can be very small objects such as a
whistle or very large objects such as a factory or plant
as shown in Figure 57.
Object cut-out imagery
These can be used in a variety of ways; captured straight

Object squared-up imagery is used when a background
is necessary to add valuable context to the subject.
These can be anything from a close-up detail to a
large-scale scene.

Imagery metaphors
Visual metaphors can be a very powerful
communication tool.
A visual metaphor is used to communicate an idea
rather than show the literal subject. Sometimes a literal
photograph isn’t appropriate or even possible, e.g. when
representing a service and so here a visual metaphor
could be used.
Visual metaphors work most effectively when combined
with words and therefore both should always be
considered together.
An Invensys visual metaphor should be a natural-looking
image and should not be artificially constructed or
contrived. It should be something that could be seen in
the real world, either an object or scene.
The criteria for an effective metaphor image is as follows:
1. Chosen to work in conjunction with text headings (to
complement or contrast with one another).
2. Metaphor and text should communicate better than
words alone.
3. Immediate and obvious meaning. Easily understood
and totally unambiguous. (Images should be relevant to
each region and local culture.)

Benefit imagery
This kind of imagery should be informal, capturing real
people, be honest and have a sense of spontaneity about
it. This imagery captures a moment. It is not posed or
over styled. Settings should be natural, light, airy and
contemporary.

All visuals and verbal messages should reinforce the Invensys brand
positioning to ensure that Invensys is seen as a truly open company.
This section shows how ‘An open approach’ is brought to life in our
verbal communications.
Specifically, this section illustrates how we can address our clients’ key
needs and how the three divisions should communicate.
The messages in this section are not advertising messages or copy for
marketing communications. These are the overarching messages that
should guide Invensys communication and behaviour.

3.03 Messaging Our positioning
An open approach
Invensys believes the real key to maximising potential ultimately
lies in an open approach.
This belief shapes:
• The way we work
• Our mindset and approach
• The solutions, technologies and products we develop with our clients
Our unwavering commitment to transparency, collaboration and
flawless execution gives our clients the clarity and control they
need to meet the challenges they face.
As the unquestioned leader in providing industries with open
thinking and open technologies, Invensys provides clients with
the ability to move ahead with confidence.

3.04 Messaging What we want clients to think
After seeing and reading Invensys communications, we want our clients
to take away the following thought:
“Invensys and openness are synonymous. They have a fundamental belief
that the only way to achieve real high performance is through an open
approach.
And it comes through in everything they do – it’s the way they work with
us, their approach to solving problems and the solutions they develop.”
When creating Invensys marketing materials, you should keep this in
mind as an overarching message to communicate.
