The Seagate logo is a mark inspired by the world we live in. Its construction
has a fundamental connection with art, architecture, mathematics, physics,
nature and science, but most importantly, with our memories.
The company logo is the beacon of Seagate’s brand identity. The integrity
of the logo must be upheld by not altering its shape, color or proportion.
When applying the logo, always use artwork supplied by Seagate.

Iconography

The Seagate Green is our primary color and
represents our brand at the highest level. It plays a
vital role, establishing a clear and powerful image
in defining the Seagate brand. This signature color
is how our audiences identify us and tap into that
powerful recognition and connection with our
brand. It should be used dominantly across our
communications materials as it is an integral part
of our brand.
Gray, Black and White
When Seagate Green is used
together effectively with these
colors: Gray, Black and White,
they have a powerful impact as
our primary color palette.

These accent colors are designed to complement

brand. They’ve been created to work harmoniously
with each other and can be used in charts,
graphics and diagrams.
Minimal Usage
Secondary colors can be used
if the primary color palette has
been maximized. These can be
implemented to differientiate or
categorize within infographics.
It is recommended that colors
from Tier 1 would be used first,
followed by Tier 2.
Use Color Sparingly
These colors may be used
to provide variety and visual
interest. Be mindful that the
total combined secondary color
palette use should not exceed
more than 15% of the total
communication.

Typography is a strong extension of our brand’s personality. Due to its
adaptability and modern sensibilities, the Helvetica Neue LT Std typeface
has been selected for our print marketing communications. When applying
type to a particular piece of communication, we strongly advise reducing
the number of available font weights and using a select few at one time.
Note: For digital applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and HTML
emails, it is acceptable to use Helvetica. If that is not available, use Arial.

Welcome to the Datasphere
From smart personal devices to intelligent hyperscale cloud, vast amounts of data are
created every instant, fundamentally enriching our world. This is the datasphere, an
ever-expanding dimension of living data that constantly moves around us, reflecting and
amplifying life in infinite ways.
Seagate’s precision-engineered enterprise solutions empower billions of people and
organizations to continuously realize the boundless potential of data. As they work to
provide life-saving research, smart cities, neural networks and much more, the people
of Seagate are tirelessly innovating fundamental technologies to aid in the human quest
to pioneer the limitlessness of the datasphere.
35
Meet the single data sphere. It represents a simplified,
yet powerful element in our environment. The data
sphere alone is an organic, individual piece of matter.
It is visualized as a Seagate green dot. As a design
element within our system, the data sphere can
be utilized as an abstract visualization of individual
data inside our atmosphere. This is a foundational
element to our brand and can help connect us to
aspirational moments.

36
When a single data sphere has been activated,
it begins to combine together and forms the
datasphere. This is the place where the world’s
data is in flight and flows freely. This is the place
where data is alive and well. This is the place
where untapped potential thrives. In the
datasphere, the real magic is in seeing the data
spheres all around us. When we are able to
fully harness the datasphere, Seagate can help
humanity maximize its potential.

These textures and backgrounds have been
developed to enhance our Seagate visual toolbox.
They play a vital role in adding a subtle, yet
effective way to complement our brand. These
versatile patterns can be used in countless ways—
from providing more dimension to websites
and event graphics to adding visual interest to
PowerPoint slides and marketing collateral.

Seagate branded photography represents the crucial
intersection between photography and design. By combining
our Seagate green datasphere graphic with photography,
an unseen energy is highlighted to help tell our story and
showcase the magic of data.
Branded photography is primarily reserved for the highest
level of visual narrative in the form of a key visual, such as a
main web page banner or initial branded visual on collateral.
The images should feel aspirational, unique, professional
and energetic in nature.
For instances when new imagery is necessary, please
adhere to a consistent style and quality of execution.
PHOTOGRAPHY

39
When overlaying datasphere textures on top of lifestyle imagery, the brand color
preference is green. However white can also be used as an alternate option.
40
Seagate product photography should showcase the
product in a variety of angles to highlight distinctive
features and allow for flexibility in different applications,
both digital and print. The lighting should also be
consistent to provide uniformity and a sense of
professional quality across all products.
Standard angles exist for each product line, with internal
hard drives having four views (front, hero left, right and
open) and external consumer hard drives having eight or
more, capturing all sides and features of the product.
Whenever possible, traditional digital photography
should be used, but in some exceptional cases, CGI
may be used as long as it mimics realism as much as
possible and follows the above guidelines.

Product environment (or product lifestyle) photography
should convey the idea of living and show the product
seamlessly integrating into the surroundings of the
target audience. The images should complement the
product form and portray the product as an object of
beauty and functionality. They should not look cold or
overly rendered, but rather exude a sense of warmth
and unmistakable presence.
These images may or may not contain people interacting
with the product, but should convey the vibrance, energy
and beauty of natural living. When people are included,
faces should not be shown, but rather close ups of hands
interacting in a natural way. The product should be the
hero and presented in its most functional form with as
much detail and richness as possible.

42
Our lifestyle photography should be engaging, vibrant
and beautiful. It should celebrate life and humanity in a
positive way and complement our brand personality—
confident, visionary, responsible, collaborative.
It is critical that these captured moments feel natural and
that we avoid contrived situations that might undermine
the authenticity of the brand. If people’s faces appear
in the images, they should express positive emotion and
not be looking directly at the camera. Ideally, images
should be lit naturally to suggest vitality and warmth, with
a soft-focus background.
Whenever possible, lifestyle photography should be royalty-
free or professionally photographed with model releases
and unlimited usage rights, and not rights-managed.

Seagate’s main iconography is a comprehensive
library focused on communicating complex concepts
and functionality in a modern style. Here is a sampling
from the library which contains over 180 icons created
in Seagate’s primary colors to allow for greater variety
and flexibility. These icons can be used on collateral,
packaging, PowerPoint presentations, sales tools,
etc. It is important to leverage this library as much as
possible to preserve congruity among all iconography.
In the event that a new icon is required, contact the
Creative Services team.

Infographics need to be simple, informative and
able to present data quickly and clearly.
GRAPHIC ELEMENTS
Infographic Style
Color Usage
Implement primary colors
(Seagate Green, Gray, Black
and White) in infographics
first. For additional variety and
differientiation, utilize Tier 1
secondary colors (Cyan, Teal
and Yellow) next. If even more
colors are required, then Tier 2
secondary colors (Orange, Red
and Magenta) are acceptable.
Typography
Only use the Helvetica Neue LT
font with charts and diagrams
for print purposes. For digital
applications such as PowerPoint,
Arial is the preferred choice due
to font limitations. Keep weights
of fonts to a minimum. Ensure
good legibility and balance of
graphics with typography.

Preserving the integrity and consistency of our brand

Color Usage
Adhering to the following color specifications will help create
consistency and maintain the visual impact of our visual identity.
These guidelines are required for color in digital applications:
• RGB color codes should be used when creating digital materials
such as web banners, social media icons and PowerPoint
presentations.
• Hex codes should be used when creating websites.
• Keep colors for infographics at a minimum by starting with primary
colors first; then Secondary Tier 1 colors next; and only using
Secondary Tier 2 colors when absolutely necessary.

Typography
To ensure maximum compatibility for typography between browsers
and operating systems, Seagate follows a fallback system. If the
browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font. Our
primary fallback font should be set as Helvetica, followed by Arial
which typically is available across all platforms.
Consider these guidelines for legibility and readability when
designing typography for digital applications:
• Beware of small type. Minimum size is 12 point.
• Establish good typographic hierarchy. Use titles and subheads
to create emphasis and get your point across quickly.
• Limit colors for text to black, white and gray. Green is used
specific to links, headlines and subheads.
• Create high contrast between the color of the type and the
background. Select light, neutral backgrounds for dark type
(and vice versa).
• Build in plenty of “white” space (even when it is not white)
around your type to enhance overall visual impact.

Video
Well-produced video content is one of the best
tools that we have to showcase a new product,
demonstrate a complicated process, or grab
a customers’ attention. By adhering to a few
simple standards, we can ensure that our video
content achieves a standard of excellence and
consistency, while increasing brand recognition,
recall and loyalty.
Our goal is to ensure any video content created
under the Seagate brand is professional, on-
brand, and consistent—no matter what the
content may be.
General Quality of Video
• Quality should be sharp! No shaky, handheld, grainy, out of
focus video.
• Imagery should be properly exposed.
• Avoid showing other brands in the frame whenever possible.
• Avoid showing competitors’ brands.
Music/Audio
• Only use authorized or licensed music from a professional source.
• Do not use cheap, poorly produced music.
• All music must be consistent with the messaging and tone of
the video content, but also with the Seagate brand.
• We prefer instrumental, upbeat, and modern/relevant
musical themes.
• Any onscreen interviews or VO should be mixed appropriately so
that it may be heard over supporting audio and ambient noise.
49
Lower Thirds
• “Name Title” is Helvetica Neue, Bold at 75pt.
• Secondary information such as Job Description or Company
should be Helvetica Neue, Light at 35pt.
• Lower thirds should be placed in an area of the frame that is
compositionally pleasing, but also within the “title safe” area
of the frame.
Technical Specifications
Specifications for video can vary widely depending on use case. These
guidelines should serve as a bare minimum and provide a baseline
acceptable video quality for delivery to most channels.
• HD Format: MP4/MOV H.264 – 20Mbps for HD (1920×1080)
• UHD Format: MP4/MOV H.265 – 60Mbps for UHD (3840×2160)
• Preferred Resolution: UHD (3840×2160)
• Frame Rate: 23.976 FPS (24p)
• Aspect Ratio: 16×9
Lettering boxing should be avoided unless dictated by creative
• Audio: AAC 48k Stereo for 320 kbps
Use of On-Screen Text
• Use Helvetica Neue LT, Regular at 30pt.
• Use only Seagate Green, Black or White colors only.
• Text should be centered when possible.
• Phrases shown on screen, such as a call to action or a web URL
should be short and easy to read.
• If used on a solid black or white background, use Seagate Green.
End Bumper - Seagate Logo
All Seagate-branded videos content, with the exception of some
internal and social videoes intended to reach a public audience, should
end with the most up-to-date animated Seagate video bumper, unless
specifically dictated by a greater global creative initiative or campaign.

  • 23. 23 SEAGATE LOGO Components The Seagate logo is a mark inspired by the world we live in. Its construction has a fundamental connection with art, architecture, mathematics, physics, nature and science, but most importantly, with our memories. The company logo is the beacon of Seagate’s brand identity. The integrity of the logo must be upheld by not altering its shape, color or proportion. When applying the logo, always use artwork supplied by Seagate. C B B. Logotype The logotype is a carefully typeset version of the name “Seagate.” This should never be altered or separated from the brandmark. A. Brandmark Our brandmark is a symbol that portrays us as a company in which creating space for the human experience is the core of our business. A C. Logo The lockup of both brand mark and logotype together is referred to as the logo.
  • 24. 24 B. Horizontal Logo Lockup When space is limited and restrictive, a horizontal version is also available for use. A. Vertical Logo Lockup Brandmark and logotype are stacked in this vertical logo lockup and used effectively when centered with rest of the content. SEAGATE LOGO Signature Lockups
  • 25. 25 The brandmark and logotype should scale proportionately when enlarged or reduced. The logo should only be used as provided and never be altered or separated from the wordmark. 2x 2x x 3/4" 54 px B. Minimum Size The logotype should not be minimized below 3/4" or readability will be lost. A. Clear Space Clear space is the area that surrounds the logo and helps maximizes the visual impact. The “2x” measurement represents the height of the logotype doubled. x 2x 2x 3/4" 54 px SEAGATE LOGO Clear Space and Minimum Size
  • 26. 26 To ensure the integrity and proper visibility of our logo, we’ve provided examples to the right for guidance on background control. It is important to provide ample contrast and good legibility. The logo may also be placed on photographic backgrounds, provided there is sufficient contrast to differentiate the logo from the background. Avoid cluttered photographic backgrounds or distracting patterns that might obscure the logo. SEAGATE LOGO Background Control
  • 27. 27 When applying any form of the Seagate logo, always use artwork supplied by Seagate, without any modification. B. Do not place logo on a busy image or background that causes insufficient contrast. A. Do not alter or change the approved colors of the brand signature. D. Do not change or typeset the logotype. C. Do not rearrange the brand signature. F. Do not rotate, flip, stretch or condense the brand mark or logotype. E. Do not add any glow, drop shadow or any other effects to the brand signature.

  • 35. 35 Meet the single data sphere. It represents a simplified, yet powerful element in our environment. The data sphere alone is an organic, individual piece of matter. It is visualized as a Seagate green dot. As a design element within our system, the data sphere can be utilized as an abstract visualization of individual data inside our atmosphere. This is a foundational element to our brand and can help connect us to aspirational moments. GRAPHIC ELEMENTS A Single Data Sphere (Micro View) DATA IS POTENTIAL 35

  • 39. 39 Seagate branded photography represents the crucial intersection between photography and design. By combining our Seagate green datasphere graphic with photography, an unseen energy is highlighted to help tell our story and showcase the magic of data. Branded photography is primarily reserved for the highest level of visual narrative in the form of a key visual, such as a main web page banner or initial branded visual on collateral. The images should feel aspirational, unique, professional and energetic in nature. For instances when new imagery is necessary, please adhere to a consistent style and quality of execution. PHOTOGRAPHY Branded 39 When overlaying datasphere textures on top of lifestyle imagery, the brand color preference is green. However white can also be used as an alternate option.
  • 40. 40 Seagate product photography should showcase the product in a variety of angles to highlight distinctive features and allow for flexibility in different applications, both digital and print. The lighting should also be consistent to provide uniformity and a sense of professional quality across all products. Standard angles exist for each product line, with internal hard drives having four views (front, hero left, right and open) and external consumer hard drives having eight or more, capturing all sides and features of the product. Whenever possible, traditional digital photography should be used, but in some exceptional cases, CGI may be used as long as it mimics realism as much as possible and follows the above guidelines.

  • 41. 41 Product environment (or product lifestyle) photography should convey the idea of living and show the product seamlessly integrating into the surroundings of the target audience. The images should complement the product form and portray the product as an object of beauty and functionality. They should not look cold or overly rendered, but rather exude a sense of warmth and unmistakable presence. These images may or may not contain people interacting with the product, but should convey the vibrance, energy and beauty of natural living. When people are included, faces should not be shown, but rather close ups of hands interacting in a natural way. The product should be the hero and presented in its most functional form with as much detail and richness as possible. PHOTOGRAPHY Product Environment 41
  • 42. 42 Our lifestyle photography should be engaging, vibrant and beautiful. It should celebrate life and humanity in a positive way and complement our brand personality— confident, visionary, responsible, collaborative. It is critical that these captured moments feel natural and that we avoid contrived situations that might undermine the authenticity of the brand. If people’s faces appear in the images, they should express positive emotion and not be looking directly at the camera. Ideally, images should be lit naturally to suggest vitality and warmth, with a soft-focus background. Whenever possible, lifestyle photography should be royalty- free or professionally photographed with model releases and unlimited usage rights, and not rights-managed. PHOTOGRAPHY Lifestyle 42

  • 44. 44 39 88 67 59 When creating an effective infographic, use basic shapes, such as circles, squares and triangles. Infographics need to be simple, informative and able to present data quickly and clearly. GRAPHIC ELEMENTS Infographic Style Color Usage Implement primary colors (Seagate Green, Gray, Black and White) in infographics first. For additional variety and differientiation, utilize Tier 1 secondary colors (Cyan, Teal and Yellow) next. If even more colors are required, then Tier 2 secondary colors (Orange, Red and Magenta) are acceptable. Typography Only use the Helvetica Neue LT font with charts and diagrams for print purposes. For digital applications such as PowerPoint, Arial is the preferred choice due to font limitations. Keep weights of fonts to a minimum. Ensure good legibility and balance of graphics with typography.

  • 46. 46 Typography To ensure maximum compatibility for typography between browsers and operating systems, Seagate follows a fallback system. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font. Our primary fallback font should be set as Helvetica, followed by Arial which typically is available across all platforms. Consider these guidelines for legibility and readability when designing typography for digital applications: • Beware of small type. Minimum size is 12 point. • Establish good typographic hierarchy. Use titles and subheads to create emphasis and get your point across quickly. • Limit colors for text to black, white and gray. Green is used specific to links, headlines and subheads. • Create high contrast between the color of the type and the background. Select light, neutral backgrounds for dark type (and vice versa). • Build in plenty of “white” space (even when it is not white) around your type to enhance overall visual impact.

  • 48. 48 VISUAL STYLE Video Well-produced video content is one of the best tools that we have to showcase a new product, demonstrate a complicated process, or grab a customers’ attention. By adhering to a few simple standards, we can ensure that our video content achieves a standard of excellence and consistency, while increasing brand recognition, recall and loyalty. Our goal is to ensure any video content created under the Seagate brand is professional, on- brand, and consistent—no matter what the content may be. General Quality of Video • Quality should be sharp! No shaky, handheld, grainy, out of focus video. • Imagery should be properly exposed. • Avoid showing other brands in the frame whenever possible. • Avoid showing competitors’ brands. Music/Audio • Only use authorized or licensed music from a professional source. • Do not use cheap, poorly produced music. • All music must be consistent with the messaging and tone of the video content, but also with the Seagate brand. • We prefer instrumental, upbeat, and modern/relevant musical themes. • Any onscreen interviews or VO should be mixed appropriately so that it may be heard over supporting audio and ambient noise.
  • 49. 49 Lower Thirds • “Name Title” is Helvetica Neue, Bold at 75pt. • Secondary information such as Job Description or Company should be Helvetica Neue, Light at 35pt. • Lower thirds should be placed in an area of the frame that is compositionally pleasing, but also within the “title safe” area of the frame. Technical Specifications Specifications for video can vary widely depending on use case. These guidelines should serve as a bare minimum and provide a baseline acceptable video quality for delivery to most channels. • HD Format: MP4/MOV H.264 – 20Mbps for HD (1920Ă—1080) • UHD Format: MP4/MOV H.265 – 60Mbps for UHD (3840Ă—2160) • Preferred Resolution: UHD (3840Ă—2160) • Frame Rate: 23.976 FPS (24p) • Aspect Ratio: 16Ă—9 Lettering boxing should be avoided unless dictated by creative • Audio: AAC 48k Stereo for 320 kbps Use of On-Screen Text • Use Helvetica Neue LT, Regular at 30pt. • Use only Seagate Green, Black or White colors only. • Text should be centered when possible. • Phrases shown on screen, such as a call to action or a web URL should be short and easy to read. • If used on a solid black or white background, use Seagate Green.
