NTT CommunicationsChannel Branding Guideline
1The Purpose of NTT CommunicationsChannel Branding Guideline
The NTT Communications Brand Book is intended to help channel partners achieve this goal by laying out the design rules for globally unifying
the NTT Communications image that customers come into contact with. These guidelines will help establish a clearer profile for the corporate image
and enhance the value of the corporate brand.
The Brand Book provides a new design system for the Visual Identity (VI), which is composed of the NTT corporate brand mark, corporate brand
colours, and corporate slogan applicable for partner usage. These elements symbolically represent the corporate philosophy and business vision of
the NTT Communications Group.
The introduction of the new VI design system will enable the image of NTT Communications to be communicated efficiently and effectively all over
the world, and help to improve the efficiency of the production process when creating proposal documents or promotional tools, such as brochures
and flyers.
Please ensure that all marketing efforts contribute to improving brand value by gaining a correct understanding of the brand concept and observing
appropriate usage of the VI through the Brand Book.
We ask that you read through the material well and contribute to the correct usage of the VI. All forms of brand application are subjected to
final approval by NTT Singapore Pte Ltd (NTTS). Submissions must be completed and sent to your NTTS Account representatives or
via email at [email protected] at least 2 working days in advance.

NTT CommunicationsVI Design System
The NTT Communications brand is reflected in a singular identity. Distinct from
competitors, it is curated to leave a signature and recognisable impression for all
customers, employees and shareholders. Through a series of core design elements
introduced here, this guide will serve to give our brand a sense of belonging and
visual character.
A
NTT Communications’ basic design elements are composed of the corporate brand mark, corporate
brand colour, company name logotype and stipulated fonts. These elements comprise the core of NTT
Communications Brand Book VI Design System. Correct use of these elements enables the presentation of a
consistent NTT Communications image. Before creating any items using the basic design elements displayed
below, you should thoroughly familiarise yourself with the definitions and stipulations on each page.
A-1
This is the most important element, serving as it does as
the core visual communication element.
CORPORATE BRAND MARK

CORPORATE SLOGAN
These are the colours used in the corporate brand mark.
CORPORATE BRAND COLOUR

elements with a uniform appearance.

VI elements may be combined in the two formats – horizontal or vertical – shown below. It is important for VI
display to be independent and distinguishable. For this reason, it should be isolated to a certain degree, with
no other design elements or text intruding on the isolation (protected) area. The corporate slogan is always
used together with corporate brand mark, and never on its own.

Our partners have always played an integral role in our success. This is why we have
placed much emphasis on this segment of the brand book. Here, you will find some
design guidelines dedicated solely for our preferred partners. Adhering strictly to
these rules will effectively give our partners a uniform and distinct identity.

Below is the standard display position of the corporate brand logo with Preferred Partner (PP) mark. From a design point
of view, the balance between the corporate brand mark and Preferred Partner mark is based on exact calculations, and
for that reason it cannot be changed.

Monochrome display like those shown below may be used depending on printing considerations, display item characteristics, purpose, and so
forth. To accurately express the corporate brand colours, the positive type brand mark should be preferentially used where monochrome display
is employed. If, however, the negative type would be more effective for certain items, it may be used. You may use the brand mark without
gradation when printing or material considerations make use of gradation difficult.

Wherever possible, use the post-type cobalt blue and golden yellow brand mark. The chart below shows reproducibility of the Preferred Partner mark in relation to
background colour changed in 10% increments. When displaying the Preferred Partner mark, pay due consideration to backgrounds (photos, etc. as well as colours)
that are similar to the Preferred Partner mark colour that they significantly reduce the mark’s visibility or cause halation (blurring or unpleasant appearance, etc.).
Choose which type of Preferred Partner mark is most suitable according to your judgement of which provides the best visiblity in relation to the background colour.
