1. Corporate Identity Guide
September 11, 2011

2. Introduction/Overview
In today’s global society companies compete with each other for the
world’s attention, for customers, for technology and for capital. The way a
company is perceived by its stakeholders is central for many major
decisions. Therefore a company must build and guide a specific image to
the world.
Focused, consistent and strategic communication is needed to grant a
company a sustainable, distinguishable and advantageous image to its
stakeholders, in other words a “company brand”. Successful corporate
branding i.e. communicating a unique, unmistakable profile makes a
company stand out above others. In this respect, corporate branding is a
vital investment into the future of SISCON.
This manual contains the visual guidelines for SISCON’s worldwide
presentation. A consistent application of these guidelines is needed to the
strengthening of the brand. The uniform appearance is the base to
increase the impact of our activities by a higher degree of recognition.
We thank everybody who helps us creating a uniform appearance of
SISCON globally by applying the following guidelines.
