The logo execution, the colours and the typefaces have been selected to work together as our corporate identity (CI).
This manual provides a comprehensive guide for the correct use of our CI.
We are an operating division of Waco International, a highly respected global commercial and industrial service business.

Waco International is a global group operating on 3 continents, in 16 countries, at over 100 locations. It is important to continually reinforce that the operating brands are part of a much bigger operation.
This alignment helps the operating brands punch above their weight; associating them with the financial backing, innovation and global expertise of the Group.
Secondly, the profile and size of Waco International is raised with every potential customer, investor, employee and stakeholder through every alignment opportunity.
Two communication elements are used to achieve this and the application of these is covered in the next pages.

Brand Logo
The SGB-Cape brand logo is a visual statement of our vision, values, strength and integrity. By following this guide, you help define SGB-Cape for our customers, partners, and employees. Equally important, you help them recognise, differentiate, and remember the SGB-Cape brand.
It is an extremely valuable asset and this corporate identity guide (CI) has been produced to help people who use the brand to understand how it must be correctly, and consistently applied. It offers a framework for making and evaluating creative decisions.
If you have questions about how to use any brand elements, or need additional information contact The Red Quarter on [email protected]
Proportions
The logo must strictly adhere to the following proportions:Height = 1.000Width = 2.398
You can download the logo in a variety of formats fromhttp://www.wacointernational.co.za/logos/downloads/sgbcape.html

Logo Exclusion Area
An exclusion area is the amount of clear space that must always be around the logo. This ensures that the logo always stands alone. No objects must intrude into this space.
This space is equal the height of the block surrounding the “SGB” lettering, as depicted on the right.

Wherever possible the full colour execution of the brand logo is to be used. In cases where colour is limited, the black and white logos may be used.

The corporate colours are taken from the internationally used Pantone® colour matching system for lithographic printing inks and these must always be used as the standard. In the four colour printing process (CMYK), it is not possible to achieve an exact match to the Pantone® inks. The CMYK colour swatches shown are the closest possible match achievable.
We recommend that the coated Pantone reference be used when printing special / spot colours. Coated and uncoated paper stocks will also give varied colour results, therefore we recommend the coated Pantone reference when printing on coated and uncoated paper stocks. Please note that the 4 Process colour / CMYK breakdown will also vary when printed on coated and uncoated paper stocks.
In digital media, the standards for RGB (PC usage) and web-safe (Hexadecimal) colours shown on this page must be followed.

In addition to the consistent application of visual elements, the CI requires the consistent use of typefaces (also known as fonts).
Typography creates an important visual distinction and allows us to be recognised at a glance.
SGB-Cape has chosen Helvetica Neue as its primary external typeface to be used when professional design studios are commissioned.
Due to its universal appeal and ease of use across all platforms, all typographic details relating to stationery, signage, promotional and advertising must utilise this font (please see relevant sections of this manual for specifics).

The Microsoft typeface shown (Arial) is available as a system font on all computers and should be used for all word processor generated documents as well as in the production of all PowerPoint® presentations.
The Arial range of typefaces should also be used on Internet and Intranet pages. These typefaces are available in a variety of weights providing flexibility for all print and online communications.

Should SGB-Cape become involved in a joint venture such as an event, sponsorship or alliance, we must always strive to be the dominant party. The co-branding of such ventures will generally be subject to mutual agreement.
Ideally, the SGB-Cape logo should be dominant with other logos not exceeding 60% of the area of the SGB-Cape logo.
In co-branding scenarios where SGB-Cape will not be the dominant partner (eg. the Comrades Marathon) the SGB-Cape logo should be no less than 60% of the area of the largest aspect of the partnering logo.

Introduction and General GuidelinesThis section of the manual details how the corporate identity guidelines are put into practice through the main visual elements of the company. It is designed to help us present a strong, consistent visual image to the various stakeholders that we interact with. The ultimate success of the correct execution of our corporate identity rests with you, so please study the standards carefully and apply them rigorously. Whenever we use our brand logo and elements of our corporate identity, we must ensure that we, and the suppliers we select, do not allow our logo to be misused or distorted. Each of us is tasked with this responsibility.
Applying the Brand Identity

The colour brand logo must always be depicted against a white background. In circumstances where the brand logo needs to be depicted against any of the other primary or secondary palette colours, a graphic holding device will we used.
This holding device can also be used against a white background to emphasise the logo.
This device is not part of the brand logo and may change in the future.

The logo must always have an exclusion area within which the logo stands alone.
To maximise the logo size within the holding device the exclusion space is defined by ‘X’. ‘X’ is the widthof the chevron in the ‘SGB’ part of the logo.
The space between the chevrons is defined by ‘Y’. ‘Y’ is the space between the chevrons in the ‘SGB’part of the logo. The Chevron on the right is a minimum of 2X, but can extend to bleed offf the page.

There may be the requirement to place the brand logo on an orange background as this is one of our primary distinguishing colours.
In this scenario the holding device must be white with the standard exclusion space around the brand logo.
This exception can only be used when the background colour is orange, or when specified in this manual.

Facility Signage
The purpose of external signage is to identify, and consistently brand, SGB-Cape offices and yards nationwide. Clear branding is more important than the street address and phone numbers. The signageis designed in two formats;
Building and Wall BrandingBuildings and walls provide us with the opportunity to leverage our primary orange colour. This is achieved by making use of the holding device. The proportions of the holding device are to be strictly adhered to as defined on page 10.
Signboard BrandingAll entrance and approach signage should display the SGB-Cape logo. The proportion of 2:3 must be maintained in all applications.

Scaffolding Signage
Scaffolding provides us with a highly visible advertising opportunity.
Given the scale (and often the height) of access scaffolding the signage design is simplistic and highly readable.
Scaffolding signage can be made from PVC or flat board such as Chromadek.
