2. This guide is a reference tool providing standards for usage
of ZICO®
logos. Because the logo is the fundamental element
of all ZICO identification, these standards have been
established to ensure consistency wherever and however
it is displayed. While this document contains guidance for
basic applications of the ZICO logo, it cannot anticipate
all possible uses. Any applications of the ZICO logo not
directly addressed here – or applications that cause usage
questions to arise that are not answered here – will require
prior approval.

BREATHING ROOM
All of ZICO’s materials should feel fresh, light, and airy. This helps underscore ZICO’s
commitment to natural freshness. One way that will greatly help to achieve this is
for the typography to feel light and fresh. The examples below show how type color,
tracking (the space between letters), and leading (the space between lines) should
be treated to accomplish this.

Color
Body copy should be used in
ZICO Grey whenever possible.
Heads and subheads can
be set in ZICO Light Blue and
ZICO Dark Blue.
Tracking
Should be open to help the
type feel lighter. Good
tracking values to use are 30
in InDesign, Illustrator and
Photoshop and 6 in Quark.
Leading
To have leading that feels
open and light, use the
following simple formula:
Type size Leading
x 1.5 =

For example, if the type is 10pt,
the leading will be 15pt.

FREE SAMPLE
The example below shows how the two fonts,Avant Garde and Helvetica, should work
together. Note that, as mentioned, Avant Garde is used as the display font for the
head and subhead, and Helvetica Neue is used for the body copy.
Colors
Whenever possible, ZICO Light Blue should be used for heads and titles, ZICO Dark
Blue should be used for subheads, and ZICO Grey should be used for body copy.
It is important to avoid black for body copy whenever possible, as the grey allows
ZICO materials to feel lighter, fresher, and more airy.

Testimonials for ZICO
Before ZICO
“I can’t seem to stay hydrated and actually lost 10 lbs. of fluid
during practice the other day, and my entire body cramped
up. I was in the hospital from Monday evening until yesterday
morning from severe dehydration that caused my kidneys to
stop functioning properly.”
After ZICO
“Thanks for checking in and offering to send me more ZICO.
So far it has worked great, and I haven’t had an IV after practice
in more than a week.”
– Bryant Shaw, Defensive Lineman, Cleveland Gladiators

ANATOMY OF A LOGO
The ZICO logo consists of four parts, which must be used together and in the exact
same proportion and position as shown below.The logo can also include the tagline
in certain applications (for more, see page 18 of this Guide).
This is a custom logo. Do not try to re-create it, reset the type, or change the size or
relation of the coconut symbol to the ZICO name. A Safe Area of isolation exists around
the logo to give it prominence. All text, headlines, and graphics must not violate the
Safe Area (see page 20).

The Negative Version of the Primary Logo should be considered the “main” logo and

or on any other solid background.

the logo to give it prominence. All text, headlines, and graphics must not violate the

NATURE’S SPORTS DRINK®
In some instances, the ZICO tagline,“Nature’s Sports Drink®
”, should be used in a lockup
with the ZICO logo.This will depend on when and where the logo is being used.
For example, the lockup should be used in stand-alone instances, such as on a banner
or back of a T-shirt for a run that ZICO sponsors. The lockup should not be used in in-
stances when it would be more appropriate for the tagline to be positioned away from
the logo, such as on the ZICO Web site or ZICO packaging.

Full-color printing on every piece of collateral can be cost-prohibitive and sometimes
not possible. In those instances, the 2-color and 1-color logo versions can be used.
Of course, the coconut that dots the “i” is such a unique part of the ZICO identity that
the primary version of the logo should be used whenever possible.

SIZE MATTERS
The Negative Version of the Primary Logo should be considered the “main” logo and
should be used whenever possible.This logo can be used on the ZICO Horizon back-
ground or on any other solid background.
Preferred Minimum Print Size
In printed collateral, the preferred minimum
size of the logo is 1.25" (3.175 cm) in width.
(In other words, this is the smallest the
logo should be used in print under ordinary
circumstances.)
Absolute Minimum Print Size
Occasionally, it might be necessary to use
the logo at a smaller size than the preferred
minimum, like on smaller pieces such as
business cards. In those instances, the logo
can be used at an absolute minimum size
of 0.75" (1.9 cm) in width. This is the small-
est size the logo can be used for
any reason. Do not use the logo smaller
than the absolute minimum size in print.
Absolute Minimum Web Size
The smallest the logo should appear on
online applications is 150 pixels in width.
If the logo is used smaller than the
absolute minimum Web size, it will become
difficult to read.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP
Occasionally, it will be necessary to create alternate versions of the logo in order to
accommodate a special production process. Examples of this are embroidery, where
small details and 4-color printing are prohibitive, screen printing, or signage.

ZICO’s product is the most important part of the ZICO brand image, and the
packaging images are a representation of that. Product images should be used
with prominence, respect, and reverence. Product images should not be contorted,
changed, or violated by other graphic elements or content.

THE SHORE LINE
The Beach Background image has been created for ZICO to help convey freshness and
relaxation.There are two versions. One includes a palm shadow that can act like a spotlight
of sorts. While product images can be placed on the Beach Background, ensure that the
shoreline on the product image lines up with the shoreline on the Beach Background.

A green coconut is also very important for ZICO; it helps convey that the ZICO
product is fresh and natural. This is why brown coconuts, like those in the supermar-
ket, are not a good symbol. The coconut can be used in many ways, from helpful
to playful, as illustrated below.

attempt to re-create the tagline or set it yourself. If used separately from the logo, you
may set it yourself using these simple guidelines:

correspondence system will be more minimal. Paper should be bright white (to help convey
freshness) and uncoated (to minimize scuffing from handling).

38. IT’S HIP TO BE SQUARE
Like the letterhead, the envelope should be clean and minimal for clarity. Paper should
be bright white (to help convey freshness) and uncoated (to minimize scuffing from han-
dling). Use standard #10 business envelopes with a square flap (very common).

ONE SIZE FITS ALL
Use the following guidelines for all large envelopes. Using a consistent top and left
margin, place the logo and information in the top, right corner of the envelope,
regardless of the envelope’s size. Paper should be bright white (to help convey freshness)
and uncoated (to minimize scuffing from handling).

STICKY SITUATION
Laser labels are intended for use on large envelopes. As such, they do not need to
have the ZICO logo but should still have the return address for good measure. Laser
labels should be printed on preformatted laser stock, which can be purchased at
any office supply chain store or their online stores.

42. TAKE NOTE
While internal correspondence among different departments and locations of ZICO is necessary, spend-
ing a lot to do so is not. When creating internal correspondence pieces (such as memos, note pads, fax
sheets, etc.), please use the 1-color version of the logo so as to keep printing production costs low.
