These guidelines for the use and placement of the Official Emblem of the 2014 FIFA World Cup

Brazil™ and product designations on product packaging are based on the ‘Sony Group Brand

Message make.believe Concept and Usage Guideline’ and the FIFA Marks usage guidelines.


Issued by: Brand Marketing Supervised by: Creative Center

FIFA Partnership Project Office

Group Marketing Communication Dept.

Target Audience

Business Units, Creative Center (persons in charge of packaging)

Period of Use

August 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014

Objectives

Packaging displayed at stores is an important distinguishing element for product selection by

customers. Indicating that Sony is an Official FIFA Partner on packaging and to link this to other

advertising and promotional items strengthens product differentiation and can be a powerful way

to appeal to consumers. These design guidelines were created for the effective use of the 2014

FIFA World Cup Brazil™ assets on product packaging.

3

Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging: Mandatory Use & Exceptions

Mandatory Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging

The Official Emblem of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ can be used on product packaging

of all product categories included in the agreement with FIFA and for all regions in the world.

The FIFA Emblem should be printed on all product packaging* that will appear in stores

from June 2013 onwards.

*Exceptions can be made in cases where the product life is long, the size of the Emblem that can be used is too small or

where use of the Emblem is difficult.

Minimum Size

For small-size packaging, the minimum size of the FIFA Emblem (for offset printing, a height

of 11mm; for flexographic (Flexo) printing, a height of 35mm) must be used to maintain visibility.

If this is not possible, the FIFA Emblem should not be inserted on the packaging.

Placement

When the minimum size (refer to the above) of the FIFA Emblem cannot physically appear on the

main surface of the packaging, a different surface may be used.

Period of Use

Even if product cartons with the FIFA Emblem are still in the market at the end of the 2014 FIFA

World Cup Brazil™ competition (July 14, 2014 and later), FIFA will not impose any fines nor

request that the cartons be removed from the market. In general, products with a long life that may

possibly remain as part of dealer inventories in 2016 and beyond should not have the FIFA Emblem

included on their cartons or packaging.

Exceptions for the Use of the FIFA Emblem on Packaging

4

FIFA Emblem Placement Basic Layout

The Official Emblem of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ should

be placed on the main surface of the carton or packaging and

positioned diagonally to the Module Logo in the recommended

lower-right corner. The basic size of the FIFA Emblem should be

25 percent of the height of the Module Logo.

However, if the height of the Module Logo exceeds 240mm,

please contact the Creative Center regarding the size of the FIFA

Emblem.

If the height of the Module Logo is less than 44mm, the height of

the FIFA Emblem should be fixed at 11mm.

packaging. However, the FIFA Emblem should be placed independently and not together with the

Module Logo, feature logos or other graphic elements.

in the magnified examples below, please note that the ®© symbols are larger in the Small-size data than in the Large-

and check the size of the ®© symbols to confirm that the correct size data is being used.
