The new identity helps give Cannondale its personality. It is challenging,
distinctive and emotive. However, the new identity can only make a positive
impact if it is used consistently and correctly.
This new brand guideline document has been developed to provide a
complete understanding of the new Cannondale identity. It shows how to
correctly implement the new design elements on bicycles, products, digital
content, and on all marketing deliverables and physical collateral. Here is a
simple guide to what we say and mean in this document.

Should - “When setting the wordmark against an image, each
side should have spacing that is at least (but not limited to)
half of the width of the wordmark.”
Must - “When setting the wordmark over images it must
be easy to read. Where necessary, subtly manipulate areas of
the image to increase legibility of wordmark. In this example
the image has been graded to ensure there are no highlights
interfering with the wordmark.”
Must – to indicate an element or action that is mandatory.
Should – to indicate an element or action that is recommended as best practice.
Some examples of guidance used in this guide are below.

It is important to use correct size ratio and location for
the secondary title: the height of the secondary title is
one seventh of the wordmark height (Y). It is always
positioned below the wordmark by one half of the
wordmark’s height.

When placing a secondary title or URL beside the
wordmark, set it vertically allowing both elements to share
the same baseline. The space is equal to the ascender
width on the letter “L”. The length of the secondary
title or URL should not exceed double the height of the
wordmark.

When it comes to positioning the wordmark within an artwork, always
consider the final size of the overall outcome – is it a website banner, a
magazine ad, or a wall installation at a trade show or bike shop?
Priority should be given to the scale of the wordmark in proportion to
the framing around it – a billboard might use a relatively small wordmark
compared to the overall size. Whereas, a web advertisement may use a large
wordmark compared to the size of the banner reproduced on a screen.

while Space Mono is only used for small technical details,
CTAs, and complementary copy. We only use these

In this example of the website homepage, the font styles have been combined in the
design to create moments that are both traditional and quirky. The eyebrow header
(in Space Mono) sits vertically alongside the oversized headline (in Favorit Bold) to
create contrast. Further down the page, Favorit and Space Mono are matched in size
to create a visual distinction between primary and secondary CTA buttons.

Our writing is human and accessible. It has an
exciting, warm personality that motivates and inspires.
We avoid sterile or cold terminology in our
story-telling, in order to inject character, purpose and
life into our products.

Our photo & video content is warm and intimate.
Rather than feeling distant and separated from the
riders, you feel connected. We avoid potentially
intimidating imagery, but use competitive imagery to
inspire riders. The brand’s minimal nature allows our
content to carry even more weight and impact.

The front plate, or thumbnail is a graded still image which
represents the video. Be mindful of areas to avoid for
any logo placement as pre-set UI or text elements (i.e.
YouTube play button or video title) may get in the way.

Cannondale Creative takes commercial requirements and transforms
them in to visual solutions that always fit the philosophy, image and
outlook of the Cannondale brand at every touchpoint. It recreates a
group of visual standards through the manipulation of color, typography,
sound, image and text. The first solution is not always the best.
Explore. Quickly edit ideas. Be creative.

Cannondale Global Marketing will provide access to all key assets via two sources:
1. The Widen Collective (DAM) dorelrl.widencollective.com
or
2. The Percolate site percolate.com
These assets include imagery, video, advertising campaigns, social content, copy,
vehicle branding, outdoor event collateral, brochures and swag. Please use current ad
campaigns only.
It is important that regional designers use those assets strictly as they appear, or
in a slightly modified format, (i.e. regional translation or resizing for specific print
applications or different page sizes) before creating any new assets.
In the event that another type of creative asset is required, and in order to maintain the
integrity of the Cannondale brand identity, we ask that all designers consult and follow
the brand guidelines before producing any new sales and marketing tools.

  • 9. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 9 The new identity helps give Cannondale its personality. It is challenging, distinctive and emotive. However, the new identity can only make a positive impact if it is used consistently and correctly. This new brand guideline document has been developed to provide a complete understanding of the new Cannondale identity. It shows how to correctly implement the new design elements on bicycles, products, digital content, and on all marketing deliverables and physical collateral. Here is a simple guide to what we say and mean in this document.
  • 10. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 10 Should - “When setting the wordmark against an image, each side should have spacing that is at least (but not limited to) half of the width of the wordmark.” Must - “When setting the wordmark over images it must be easy to read. Where necessary, subtly manipulate areas of the image to increase legibility of wordmark. In this example the image has been graded to ensure there are no highlights interfering with the wordmark.” Must – to indicate an element or action that is mandatory. Should – to indicate an element or action that is recommended as best practice. Some examples of guidance used in this guide are below. L A N G U A G E U S E D I N T H I S G U I D E

  • 14. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 14 L O G O Our wordmark is the bastion of our brand – combining Cannondale’s unique provenance and contemporary aesthetics, our wordmark is immediately recognisable, it sets the tone and ties everything together.
  • 16. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 16 L O G O — R E G I S T E R E D T R A D E M A R K The Cannondale word is a registered trademark. The wordmark should always appear with the registered trademark symbol as part of the logo unless the symbol is too small to produce in print or similar.
  • 17. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 17 L O G O — U S A G E It can only appear in either black or white, and either horizontally or vertically. We prioritize setting it horizontally, and only set it vertically when absolutely necessary. It can never be treated in color, or set at an angle.
  • 18. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 18 X Y Y Y Y Y L O G O — U S A G E When used in any format, the Cannondale wordmark must have sufficient space around it – a minimum of the wordmark’s height, marked here as ‘Y’.

Do not blur the wordmark. Do not add a drop shadow to the wordmark. Do not flip the wordmark. Do not rotate or shear the wordmark. Do not stretch or warp the wordmark. Do not outline the wordmark. Do not colorize the wordmark. Do not duplicate, stack, or fade the wordmark.
  • 20. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 20 It is important to use correct size ratio and location for the secondary title: the height of the secondary title is one seventh of the wordmark height (Y). It is always positioned below the wordmark by one half of the wordmark’s height. L O G O — S E C O N D A R Y T I T L E S & U R L Y Y / 2 ( M I N I M U M 5 P T ) Y / 7 F A C T O R Y R A C I N G When pairing a secondary title with the Cannondale wordmark, we use Space Mono Regular in upper case, center-aligned with the secondary title at a maximum of three words.

  • 22. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 22 When placing a secondary title or URL beside the wordmark, set it vertically allowing both elements to share the same baseline. The space is equal to the ascender width on the letter “L”. The length of the secondary title or URL should not exceed double the height of the wordmark.

  • 26. B R A N D G U I D E L I N E S 26 L O G O — U S A G E When it comes to positioning the wordmark within an artwork, always consider the final size of the overall outcome – is it a website banner, a magazine ad, or a wall installation at a trade show or bike shop? Priority should be given to the scale of the wordmark in proportion to the framing around it – a billboard might use a relatively small wordmark compared to the overall size. Whereas, a web advertisement may use a large wordmark compared to the size of the banner reproduced on a screen.
