2Magellan Brand Guidelines – Oct 2013
Protecting the Brand and Trademarks
Protecting and strengthening the brand creates benefits for the company including:n Clear competitive differentiationn Instant credibility and trustn Loyal customersn Lower costs of marketingn Increased channel leveragen Barriers to new competitors
Trademarks can be lost if they are not used correctly. A trademark is lost when it becomes generic and sneaks into the language as a common name description of the product, as distinguished from the source and identity of the product. If a trademark becomes generic, the original owner loses exclusive rights to use the mark. Any competitor can then use the trademark and take advantage of the advertising and promotion dollars spent by the former owner. Some famous former trademarks that have become generic are nylon, escalator, kerosene, and zipper.
Fortunately, it is fairly easy to protect our trademarks. You only need follow the rules of proper trademark usage as outlined in this guideline.
VisionThe Magellan brand is a valuable business asset. Because it is our corporate and our product brand, the reputation of the company and the reputation of our products are closely linked and can never be viewed separately.
Guiding Principle
The purpose of this guide is to provide a tool to preserve and strengthen the unity and consistency of the Magellan brand. These guidelines should be used when creating a wide range of Magellan brand communications for marketing, tradeshows, internal and external presentations and more.
These elements ultimately shape public opinion about Magellan products and work together to establish a recognized and trusted brand.
This guide has been developed to ensure consistency across our communications. It is important to follow these guidelines in order to maintain and augment the voice and identity of Magellan products and strengthen brand recognition.

5Magellan Brand Guidelines – Oct 2013
When using the Magellan logo, please be mindful of the minimum allowable size restriction and minimum amount of clear space permissible around the logo. There is no maximum clear space restriction, so feel free to allow for extra room whenever possible.
n Minimum logo size requirement: 1.0" (25.4 mm) wide.
n Minimum amount of clear space around the logo: unit of measurement is the height of the “M” in Magellan.
The logo representing the Magellan brand is displayed above. When referencing Magellan as the company, do not use any registration mark next to Magellan. When referencing Magellan as a trademark, always follow the trademark with the appropriate trademark notice (™ or ®) and copyright footnote. The appropriate trademark notice should appear at least once in each piece of printed matter, preferably the first time the trademark appears. The copyright footnote usually appears at the bottom of the last page. Most importantly, a trademark is a proper adjective and when used such as in advertising, catalogues, promotions, brochures, hang tags, radio, etc., must always be followed by its generic or common name. The trademark should never be used alone when it appears in text. In order to maintain consistent quality with regard to the reproduction of the Magellan brand and mark, please use only the electronic artwork provided by Magellan Corporate Marketing.

Magellan Trademarks
PrintMagellan product and intellectual property trademarks appear according to standard industry practices.
Only the first instance in the body of a printed piece bears the product or property trademark.
This first instance includes appearances which occur in headings or titles in the case of packaging and press releases. Signage, direct mail pieces and all other instances, the trademark should be included the first time it appears in body copy. The trademark symbol is always superscripted, reduced in size and aligned with the cap height of the text.
WebTrademarks in web page presentations appear on each new page in the first instance of body copy only. Headings and titles do not include the trademark. This ensures proper inclusion without disrupt-ing the flow of information as many web pages are data-base driven, while many headings are often graphical.
Below is a list of Magellan trademarks and a list of fre-quently used partner trademarks.

NEVER use a serif font, such as Times New Roman.
Letterhead and business cards must be produced by a professional printer who can achieve the gray "bleed" at the bottom of the template.
Fax templates may be printed in-house and may be reproduced without the gray "bleed", due to margin constraints on standard laser printers.
For international requirements please contact Corporate Marketing. Corporate Marketing will provide files for stationery and business cards that will meet international size requirements.

Following are rules to employ when creating or using product images.
Use drop shadows on products whenever possible. The only exception is when a dealer's rules dictate that product imagery should be used without a drop shadow. See example above for instructions on how to create drop shadows correctly.
If possible, do not overlap products. For example, in a brochure or on a tradeshow piece, have each product fully viewable at all times. In the case of smaller pieces, limit the number of products displayed so that they do not overlap.
Consider the geography in which your materials will be presented when determining which screen shots to use on the product image.
a. What language should the screen shot be displayed in? b. Should it have a detailed level map or a basemap? c. Should the positioning data be identifiable?
If providing product images to a third-party, a vendor or an internal resource, first determine what their need may be. Second, send them an appropriate-sized file of the right resolution, for example, an image for a PowerPoint presentation should be small in size and low-resolution, while an image for a 10' by 10' poster at a tradeshow will be large in size and higher resolution.
Is this a product image that we own? If it is an image provided to us by a partner, have we secured the release rights?
Magellan Product Image Rules
Magellan Brand Guidelines – Oct 2013
Product and Screen Shots
To create a shadow, open Photoshop and go to the Layer Style window under Layer in top menu. Select Multiply in Blend Mode. This is what makes the shadow transparent. Opacity should be 50% and angle 120º. Distance and size will vary according to the size of the product.
27
Do not stretch or squeeze the screen. It should be properly proportionally sized.
