Introduction
Brand ownership and brand custody
The operating companies of Infostrada are jointly
the owners of the new brand and brand identity.
The brand custody is in the hands of the Marketing
Communications department of the Infostrada Group.
This manual will help you implement the basic elements
and principles of our new identity but it is still far from
complete. If any questions arise in the application of
this Brand Manual, don’t hesitate to contact Infostrada
Marketing Communications; together we will find
answers to all your questions.

We are very proud to offer you this provisional Brand Manual

companies, affiliates and product brands. This Brand Manual
is a ‘living’ document; updates will follow in the coming
months as additional guidelines, principles and applications
become available.

In today’s multi-screen environment, it’s

companies to stay at the forefront of the
market.

The Arena symbol
The core symbol of our brand is the Arena.
Over the ages, Greek plays, Roman gladiators,
the Olympics, rock concerts and Champions
League finals excited millions of spectators
gathered in stadiums and theatres. The arena
is always the place where cool and exciting
things happen. The place where the action
is. Infostrada is also there where the action
is. Be it at a live televised sports event, a big
game show or bringing streaming content to
audiences around the globe.
The arena in our logo also symbolizes the
meeting of creative and inquisitive minds, both
internally and in working together with our
clients to bring the best possible solutions to
their global audiences.

Our corporate logo
This is the corporate brand logo for all of our
activities. The Infostrada logo consists of a
word mark and a graphic mark. They have a
fixed size and position towards each other.
In most applications we use the reversed
logo which can be used on dark purple
backgrounds or on dark parts of photographs.
Logo on white or dark purple background The logo can also be placed on light purple shaded
backgrounds or dark photographs
Greyscale version for black white printing
The logo on a white background is primarily
used for A4 stationery, envelopes, proposals
and reports and can also be used for
sponsoring purposes.

Logo position
The most common position of the logo is
top left. Don’t make the logo too small. The
minimum size is 5 mm (measured by height).
Free white space around the logo
Always keep a minimum amount of space
free around the logo as indicated below.
A background photograph may continue
behind the logo, as long as the readability
of the logo is guaranteed.

Logo dont’s
It’s important that our logo is used
consistently, for both brand-building and legal
reasons. The logo should never be deformed
or changed in any way.
`` Always keep the width/height ratio of the
logo in tact;
`` Position the logo only horizontally, never
rotated;
`` Don’t place the logo on coloured background
fills other than white, light purple or dark
purple;
`` Always ensure that the contrast between
logo and background is high enough to
ensure readability.

Brand label
Infostrada is active in 3 domains:
Sports, Creative Technology and Interactive.
For Infostrada Sports we’ve developed a
separate brand label, positioning Infostrada in
the global sports market. The word ‘sports’ is
added to the Infostrada logo in a lighter style.
Creative Technology and Interactive are used
only as operational domain descriptors; they
don’t have separate brand labels.
Product service logos
In all market domains, Infostrada develops
services and solutions that can be ‘productized’.
Product service logos are based on the four
colours in the Infostrada logo. Colours are chosen
by Infostrada Marketing Communications in
consultation with the product owners.
Labels, product service logos
Infostrada Sports is presently the only brand label Examples of Product logos Example of a Service logo

Pay-off
The corporate pay-off captures our spirit and
joint belief: we want to turn experiences into
excitement by connecting as many people as
possible to these experiences.
The pay-off has a fixed size, typeface and
positioning in relation to the logo. Always use the
provided digital logos with pay-off to guarantee
the proper usage.
In exceptional situations we
use the pay-off as title, for
instance on the cover of our
corporate brochure.
Standard position of the Infostrada pay-off

Typefaces
We use two sans-serif typefaces for all our
communications: Neo Sans Pro and Open
Sans. Neo Sans Pro is a paid typeface which
can be obtained via Infostrada Marketing
Commuications. Open Sans is a free open
source typeface which can be downloaded
via Google.

multitude of digital devices, channels and platforms, leaving broadcasters, media
companies and rights owners looking for the best way to connect with them:
anytime, anywhere and on any device.
Through creativity and innovative technology, Infostrada connects rights owners, content
creators and brands with the consumer in new, measureable and effective ways.

Alinea heading level 4
Neo Sans is used for headlines, titles and
introduction texts. For headings, sub-headings
and titles a certain hierarchy is defined which
can be found in the Word, Powerpoint and
Keynote templates.
All Infostrada colours can be used for headings
on a white background, except yellow.
On a photograph just ensure readability.
Open Sans is used for subtitles and body text.
Bodytext is mainly set in black.
Hierarchy in headingsNo go: yellow text on a white background
No yellow on white

Colours
The colour palette can be used in two ways:
as solid and as gradient colours.
Core colour
The core colour is dark purple. This colour is
dominant and should be visible throughout the
communication item. The colour purple is also used
as preferred background colour for the (reversed)
logo. The light purple, lilac, is used for texts on a
dark purple background, just as in the logo.
Secondary colours
The secondary colours are used in text styles and
throughout the design in colour areas.
The dark orange is only used in text styles, not in
coloured areas.
Three of these colours have been defined to give
the domains a distinctive feel:
`` Sports: green range
`` Creative Technology: blue range
`` Interactive: orange range

Gradients in coloured areas
Applying colour gradients is an important
element of the brand identity. The gradients
as shown here are made for coloured areas.
Gradients in areas may be used horizontally
or vertically.
To apply colour gradients in the areas, the
“gradient feathering tool” in InDesign is used.

soon, but here are some examples of where
we want to take our imagery.

Case study
Dutch Premier League
Dutch Premier Soccer League Eredivisie was looking for an
integrated solution that could handle its entire operation, including
subscription management, payments, full media handling and cross-
platform distribution of their live games and on-demand library.
To help achieve this goal, Infostrada delivered the full Arena multi-
platform distribution engine for its online and mobile proposition.
This integrated solution allowed Eredivisie to reach their
subscribers via connected TV, Mobile, game consoles and web,
as an extension to the Eredivisie TV channels provided via their
MSO/Cable operator. Plus, through the integrated platform for live-
and on-demand content, Eredivisie could tap into new revenue
streams.
The Arena powered ‘Eredivisie Sidekick’ second screen app won
the 2012 EPFL Best Practice Award for best European soccer
marketing tool.
Market-leading European cinema operator Pathé decided
in 2011 to start a movie VOD service to expand their
offering to the consumer.
To help Pathé achieve this goal, Infostrada delivered
a white labeled, integrated solution for the entire opera-
tion, media handling and cross-platform distribution of
their VOD library. The Infostrada Arena platform allowed
Pathé to reach its consumers via connected TV, Mobile,
game-consoles and web.
The full-service outsourcing of the entire file-handling,
content management, DRM, CDN and mobile application
management allowed Pathé to focus on marketing
and content acquisition.
