3Union Bank Quick Guide | Visual Identity

With a robust and flexible visual identity, we can use our logo, color palette, photography, and more to represent and express our brand. The creative platform described in this guide enables us to implement our strategies for growth and success. Using our visual identity system accurately and consistently enables our brand equity to grow and strengthen. It also helps us create a clear connection between the MUFG and Union Bank® brands.

The specifications and examples presented here are a starting point for creating Union Bank communications. This guide does not address every possible scenario a designer may encounter. As such, be flexible when working on a given project while always taking care to ensure that all communications are consistent with the framework provided here.

Visual identity

4Union Bank Quick Guide | Visual Identity

The Union Bank logo is the clearest visual element of our corporate identity. It represents our entire company on all of our communications, signage, advertising, and more. Maintaining the integrity of the logo is essential to communicating a consistent and effective messaging in the marketplace. Inaccurate reproductions or uses compromise our ability to leverage our logo and our brand to help bring growth and success to the company.

To establish a visual relationship with each Union Bank Line of Business, we use the Union Bank logo in conjunction with a Line of Business identifier when we communicate to clients. Doing so connects us closely to the brand experience that clients expect from Union Bank, and enables us to use our visual and verbal identities to show the full scope of our offerings.

Our logo is one of our most recognizable assets, so it’s important we protect its use in everything we create.

Examples of Line of Business identifiers

The Line of Business identifier

In the Union Bank system, we often use a Line of Business identifier to distinguish each Union Bank Line of Business. Refer to page 14 for information on how to use the branded offering identifier.

Primary logo

Our logo is the Union Bank logo. It uses Union Bank Red and Union Bank Blue. It is available in three formats to meet your application needs:

• Spot: Use when spot-color printing is available, such as in high-end printed brochures, invitations, stationery, signage, etc.

• CMYK: Use in print applications when spot inks are unavailable.

• RGB: Use in all on-screen applications, such as websites, digital apps, etc.

Our logo includes the registered trademark symbol (®) in most uses. The registered trademark symbol may be cropped when the logo is used on permanent signage, stationery, business cards, and invitations, or when the logo is used below its preferred minimum size. Refer to the next page for more information about the minimum size for our logo.

Alternative logos

In situations where the primary logo cannot be used, the Union Bank logo may be used in black or reversed out. Both versions are available in two formats:

• CMYK: Use in all print applications.

• RGB: Use in all on-screen applications, such as websites, digital apps, etc.

Clear space

We use clear space to maintain the clarity and integrity of our logo. Clear space refers to a zone free of graphics, imagery, or typography that surrounds the logo on every side.

We use the height of the letter “B” in Union Bank to determine clear space, as demonstrated below:

Minimum size

In order to retain legibility, the logo may not be scaled below its preferred minimum size of 2" wide.

For digital purposes only, the minimum size of the logo is 134px wide (not including legal mark) by 28px high.

The Union Bank color palette creates a sense of distinction and warmth. Bright white backgrounds, accented with tan and gray, and punctuated by red, create a clean and optimistic look and feel for Union Bank.

The combination of colors also helps our brand differentiate from our competitors. The palette makes us approachable and inviting, and the use of white space aligns with the sense of opportunity our creative platform inspires.

Color specifications

Our color palette is essential to every communication we create. Our utilization of bright white backgrounds in conjunction with tan and gray and the judicious use of red brings our brand to life.

When we use these colors with intention, we can reflect our creative platform and create an accessible, open look and feel for our brand.

We use spot and CMYK specifications in all printed materials, and RGB or HEX for screen-based applications (such as PowerPoint, mobile, website).

Other colors

Blue is generally used only in the Union Bank logo (except in the case of our UnionBanc Investment Services subbrand). This color should not be used for other elements in a layout.

For use in charts and graphs

The secondary color palette contains five primary colors, along with their respective tints. These colors are available for use in charts and graphs. We recommend implementing the colors in the order shown here, from left to right. Tints are applied in the same order, in descending tint depth (shown below at 75% followed by 50% and 25%).

For simpler charts and graphs (requiring up to four contrasting colors), use UB Red with tints of UB Grey. Do not mix the primary UB colors with the secondary palette colors when creating charts and graphs.

Using color in a layout

Our colors are only effective when we use them thoughtfully and strategically. By following the principles below, we can stay on-brand and give our communications consistency when it comes to color.

• In advertising applications, photography should be used most prominently, with white as a background color.

• In collateral applications, the white should be used most prominently, with a smaller amount of photography.

• In both cases UB Red and UB Tan and its tints should be used to a lesser extent as secondary accent colors.

• UB Gray should be used for all copy.

Below, you can see the proportions we want to achieve clearly and visually.

The specifications and examples presented here are a starting point for creating Union Bank communications. This guide does not address every possible scenario a designer may encounter. As such, be flexible when working on a given project while always taking care to ensure that all communications are consistent with the framework provided here.

• Plan flexibility. You can choose to make contributions to employees’ 401(k) accounts or not. If you do make contributions, they are tax deductible.

• Plan expense deductions. 401(k) plan expenses are generally tax deductible. If this is your first 401(k) plan, your business may be eligible for an additional annual tax credit of up to $500 per year for three years.

Recruit and retain employees

Studies show that nearly two-thirds of employees consider a retirement plan to be a critical workplace benefit.2 Attract and keep employees with choices that work for you.

Our flexible plan design offers choices that fit your business:• Eligibility. You choose when employees are eligible to participate

(for example, immediately or after one year of employment). • Vesting. If you choose to contribute to employees’ 401(k) plans, you decide

on the vesting schedule (how long employees work for you before these funds are considered wholly theirs).

Ease of implementation

Union Bank® is proud to partner with Paychex Retirement Services, the leading 401(k) plan provider with over 68,000 clients. Paychex provides affordable 401(k) administration and recordkeeping services for businesses of all sizes. Paychex advantages include:• Simplified setup.

We use the MUFG Global typeface: Graphik. A modern, geometric, sans-serif typeface, the use of Graphik creates layouts that are fresh, compelling, and also maintain legibility. Graphik works well in large and small sizes, and contains a variety of weights to allow great flexibility in various communications.

When we use our typographic style consistently—following the simple principles on the following pages—we can craft messages that clearly express the qualities of our brand.

Typography

Font

Graphik is our recommended typeface. Consistent use of Graphik ensures the legibility in all our communications, while also helping to establish the clean, elegant look and feel of our visual identity.

The Graphik font can be purchased here: https://commercialtype.com/typefaces/graphik

In some instances, such as with Microsoft Office and onscreen applications, Graphik may not be available. In these cases, we use the Helvetica typeface as a substitution. If neither is available, we use Arial.

Typographic standards

Type hierarchy

Our typefaces are most effective when we consistently follow a hierarchy in our communications. It standardizes the way we treat headlines and subheads.

Sizing is flexible and dependent on the piece you’re creating and the length of copy. The following guidelines should be used for most communications:

• Headlines should be set in sentence case in Graphik Light, ranging in size from 16pt to 36pt. Headlines do not end in a period.

• Headline leading can range from being equal to the headline type size up to 2 points larger than the headline type size. For instance, a 20pt headline could have leading ranging from 20 to 22 points. The presence of descenders in a two line headline would generally necessitate the large value being used.

• Sub-headlines may be set in sentence case in Graphik Semibold, ranging in size from 8pt to 12pt.

• Body copy should be set in sentence case in Graphik Light, ranging in size from 9pt to 12pt.

• Call to Action should be set in sentence case. Subheads are Graphik Medium and listings are Graphik Light. Both are 7/9pt.

• Disclosure should be set in sentence case in Graphik Light, 8/9pt. Graphic Condensed Light may be used when space is limited.

Note: Throughout this document type specifications are given as (point size)/(leading), so Graphik Light 7/9pt signifies 7pt type with 9pt leading.

Line of Business–branded offering identifier

The use of a Line of Business identifier distinguishes each Union Bank Line of Business or product category (e.g., credit cards or Maximum Rewards Credit Card, etc.) from other Union Bank offerings. The appropriate identifier should appear on each piece of communication.

The specifications for constructing the offering identifier are below:

• The offering identifier should be set in Graphik Regular, all caps, at 400 tracking.

• The offering identifier is always set in UB Gray.

• The font size of the offering identifier should be ⅓ of the size of its accompanying headline and, in general, a minimum of 8pt in size.

The Line of Business identifier may be placed in one of three locations in a layout:

• Inside the graphic device, following the headline. Refer to page 17 for more information about using the offering identifier with the graphic device.

• Outside the graphic device, above the headline. Refer to page 17 for more information about using the offering identifier with the graphic device.

• At the top right corner of the communication, flush to the right margin.

It’s important to use the offering identifier consistently. Here are a few ways you should avoid using the offering identifier:

• Never use a typeface other than Graphik Regular for the offering identifier.

• Do not use Bold, Italics, or Underlines with the offering identifier.

• Do not alter the color of the offering identifier.

• The offering identifier should never be used very close to or locked up with the Union Bank logo. They should appear as separate elements.

When a Line of Business identifier (such as “Priority Banking” or “Consumer Lending”) appears in the body copy or headline, typeset it normally to match the surrounding copy.

Typographic standards (continued)

General type principles

Since we use text in almost every application, we’ll want to refer to these principles often for direction and guidance. The general principles for typographic use within our visual identity are:

• Type should be set in UB Gray.

• All type should be flush left.

• Typography in the layout should always use an underlying grid system: align elements to the grid and to each other.

• Type should be clean, simple, and functional: do not create overly stylized type layouts.

• Use proper weights of Graphik to communicate the appropriate content hierarchy.

• Do not use periods in headlines.

• Headlines are always set in sentence case.

• The variety of font weights should be kept to a maximum of three for collateral items; additional type styles should be used sparingly for the purposes of additional hierarchy only.

• Use white space to balance out content; heavy amounts of text can overwhelm the reader.

• When Graphik is not available (e.g., for online use or in Microsoft applications), the substitute font of choice is Helvetica.

The specifications and examples presented here are a starting point for creating Union Bank communications. This guide does not address every possible scenario a designer may encounter. As such, be flexible when working on a given project while always taking care to ensure that all communications are consistent with the framework provided here.

A major element in the Union Bank visual system is the graphic device. Inspired by the MUFG Global look and feel, the graphic device serves as focal point, highlighting headlines and other prominent information in a layout. The Private Bank uses a variation of this graphic device. This variation is clearly part of the Union Bank visual system to ensure that all of our offerings are part of the same family.

The graphic device consists of two parts: a red vertical bar that brings immediate attention to the messaging, and a box filled with UB Tan utilizing a translucent effect. When overlaid on a photograph, the translucent effect progressively reveals the underlying photo, creating a relationship between the graphic device and the imagery that reinforces our connection with our clients.

Constructing the graphic device

The graphic device consists of three different objects, only two of which are visible. As shown below, the left side of the graphic device is a vertical red bar. Flush to the right edge of this bar is a translucent box filled with a tint of UB Tan (generally 30%—see page 18 for exceptions). Underneath this box is a non-visible box filled with white. This box is necessary for the graphic device to print properly.

General information on how to construct the graphic device is as follows:

• The translucent box is used to contain messaging. It can also contain a Line of Business identifier. The red vertical bar acts as an anchor and focal point to bring attention to that message.

• The vertical bar is always attached to the left side of the graphic device.

• The translucent box is generally filled with a 30% tint of UB Tan. Certain exceptions to this standard, dependent upon the substrate being utilized, are detailed on page 18.

• The graphic device should always retain a horizontal orientation and should never be rotated to be used vertically or at an angle.

• The translucent quality of the graphic device is achieved by adding a gradient feather effect to the UB Tan portion of the graphic device object.

• Underneath the UB Tan portion of the graphic device is an identically sized element filled with “paper” (i.e., white) and set with a transparency of 40%. This element is required to ensure that the graphic device prints properly.

• It’s occasionally necessary to slightly adjust the opacity of the gradient feather, depending upon the elements that appear under the graphic element. Further details regarding this can be found on page 22.

Care should be taken to effect a consistent appearance for the graphic device across all communications.

Building the graphic device in Photoshop for digital applications requires a different methodology. Please refer to page 30 for details and specifications.

Graphic device specifications

Access the Gradient Feather dialog box in InDesign by navigating to the menu bar and selecting Object > Effects > Gradient Feather.

‡ Location of the left-hand gradient stop is variable: the gradient feather start point is flush to the left edge of the headline inside the graphic element. See page 22 for details.

Graphic device components

Left edges of tan element and underlying element with “paper” fill are flush to right edge of red bar.

* For the Gradient Feather effect to print accurately, UB Tan must print as four-color process. Do not use a spot color for UB Tan. The preferred method of printing this color is always four-color process.

† It is essential to construct the graphic device with the underlying ”white“ element. Failure to do so will result in the graphic device not reproducing properly.

Adjusting the tint of the graphic device

The translucent box of the graphic device is generally filled with a 30% tint of UB Tan. There are two exceptions to this:

Duratrans (backlit)

• Use a 75% tint of UB Tan.

• The underlying white box should have a fill of “paper” and a transparency of 95% applied.

• If there is not an image underneath the graphic device, turn off the gradient feather effect for the top level object.

Outdoor

• Use a 35% tint of UB Tan.

• All other specifications (i.e., underlying white box, gradient feather) remain unchanged.

Adjusting the graphic device for black and white usage

When an ad or similar deliverable is done in black and white, use the following settings for the graphic device:

Graphic device usage

• The space to the right of the text should be a minimum of two cap heights (2X).

• Some layouts may require additional space to the right of the text.

• It is recommended to keep headlines to three lines or fewer.

• The width of the red vertical bar should equal ⅓ to ½ of the height of the capital letters used in the headline.

• When placed inside the graphic device, the Line of Business identifier should be one cap (1X) height below the headline.

• When placed outside the graphic device, the Line of Business identifier should be one cap height (1X) above the graphic device.

Using the graphic device with type

The graphic device will most often contain headlines or other prominent messaging. To ensure optimal legibility, sufficient space must be left surrounding the copy.

• The space above and below the type should be one cap height (1X) but can be as much as two cap heights (2X). The space above and below the type is equal, which means the type is always vertically centered within the graphic device.

• The space to the left of the headline is at least one cap height (1X) but can be as much as two cap heights (2X).

Graphic device usage (continued)

Using the graphic device within a campaign

Within a campaign the graphic device should be the same size in all similarly sized elements. For example, if a merchandising campaign has multiple versions of 11 x 17" posters, 6 x 4" postcards, and 8½ x1 1" flyers, there would be one size of the graphic device used in all the posters, another size used in all the postcards, and another size used in all the flyers.

As shown below, while the size of the graphic device will remain the same within similarly sized elements, the headline needs to be adjusted in size to visually fill the space.

• Every graphic device in similarly sized elements must be the same size.

• Ideally, you would first construct the graphic device to contain the longest headline. This enables you to determine the size of the Line of Business identifier, the size of the red bar, and the margins within the graphic device.

• The red bar within the graphic device in similarly sized elements must be the same size.

• The Line of Business identifier must be the same size throughout.

• The space above the Line of Business Identifier should be visually consistent across all instances of the graphic device, as shown below.

• Maintain the same spacing to the left of the text for each graphic device.

• All versions are centered vertically within the graphic device.

The specifications and examples presented here are a starting point for creating Union Bank communications. This guide does not address every possible scenario a designer may encounter. As such, be flexible when working on a given project while always taking care to ensure that all communications are consistent with the framework provided here.

Using the graphic device with photography

Our graphic device is often used with photography, but we have specific guidance to help you use it most impactfully.

• The graphic device should be positioned asymmetrically over photography, allowing part of the image to show through the translucent portion of the graphic device.

• Care should be taken to make sure that the cropped edges of photography do not inhibit the legibility of headlines within the graphic device.

• Avoid symmetrical placement of the graphic device. For example, the center point of a graphic device should never be aligned directly to an edge of an underlying photo.

Adjusting the graphic device

There are two adjustments that can be made to the graphic device: one regarding the start point of the gradient feather in relation to where the headline or content of the graphic device starts, and the other regarding the tonal values of the element that appears under the graphic device.

Adjusting the starting point of the gradient feather The left-hand starting point of the gradient feather should align with the left edge of the headline/content within the graphic device. The default location is 10%. To be precise, use the mathematical formula described below.

Adjusting the opacity of the gradient feather Depending on the tonal values of the element under the graphic device, it may be necessary to adjust the opacity of the gradient feather.

• Only make adjustments to the opacity of the right-hand gradient stop.

• When the graphic device appears over photography that contains more intricate detail, the right-hand gradient stop can be adjusted to an opacity of 80%–85%.

• When the graphic device appears over photography with a lighter tone, the right-hand gradient stop can be adjusted to an opacity of 80%–85%.

• When the graphic device appears over darker photography, the right-hand gradient stop can be adjusted to an opacity of 90%–95%.

Location of the left-hand gradient stop is variable: the gradient feather start point is flush to the left edge of the headline inside the graphic element.

1. Measure the width of the UB Tan object (in this example: 3.1189").

2. Measure space between right edge of red bar and left edge of headline (in this example: .2478").

3. Divide this smaller number by the overall width of the UB Tan object (.2478 divided by 3.1189 = .0794510885248).

4. Multiply this number by 100 (0.0794510885248 x 100 = 7.94510885248), and then round up or down as appropriate (in this example, 7.94510885248 becomes 8%). This is the percentage that should be used to position the left-hand gradient stop.

Graphic device placement and layout alternatives

Certain circumstances do not support the graphic device originating on the left edge of a piece. In such cases, we do not want to lessen the impact of the red bar as the focus point that it is intended to be. For example, an ad that appears on a right-hand page could result in the red bar getting lost in the gutter. Or a poster may be mounted within a frame that could potentially cover a part of the red focus bar.

In these and similar cases, you have two layout options available, as shown below.

Option A

Graphic device bleeds off right side of document.

Option B

The red focus bar can be a standalone element, anchored to the headline within the Union Bank Tan background.

25Union Bank Quick Guide | Visual Identity

Choosing appropriate imagery

When selecting imagery, the most important consideration is the target audience. Choosing images that connect the layout to key themes of the communication will ensure message comprehension. Here are some other key factors in choosing imagery:

• The people used in our photography should represent a range of ages and ethnicities. Commercial and business Lines of Business should show professional, well-dressed subjects. Retail Lines of Business may use more casually dressed people, but they should still be neatly attired.

• The overall image color should be light in tone and have a modern feel.

• When appropriate, use images that signal our modern world of mobile work and banking (e.g., showing laptops and smartphones). This aspirational approach shows that Union Bank is connected to the future of banking and financial services.

• Situational photography should be natural looking and not posed.

• When showing business environments, consider two approaches: people in business situations where the focus is on the people and business environments where people may be in the image but are not the main focus (e.g., architecture shots).

• Photography is usually the most engaging and visually compelling component in any communications piece. It is important to remember that consistency in photo selection will ensure the visual stability of our system.

Union Bank Investment Services (UBIS)Not all of the services provided by Union Bank fall under the Union Bank brand. One example is Union Bank Investment Services (UBIS). This sub-brand is distinct from the Union Bank brand but still closely aligned to the Union Bank look and feel.

This is accomplished by maintaining the majority of Union Bank brand standards. We selectively change the colors of certain elements

and type styles. We also choose photography that better reflects the UBIS audience. These changes, along with the inclusion of a dual-brand logo lockup, create a look that is both unique to UBIS and an obvious part of the Union Bank family of brands.

• Plan flexibility. You can choose to make contributions to employees’ 401(k) accounts or not. If you do make contributions, they are tax deductible.

• Plan expense deductions. 401(k) plan expenses are generally tax deductible. If this is your first 401(k) plan, your business may be eligible for an additional annual tax credit of up to $500 per year for three years.

Recruit and retain employees

Studies show that nearly two-thirds of employees consider a retirement plan to be a critical workplace benefit.2 Attract and keep employees with choices that work for you.

Our flexible plan design offers choices that fit your business:• Eligibility. You choose when employees are eligible to participate

(for example, immediately or after one year of employment). • Vesting. If you choose to contribute to employees’ 401(k) plans, you decide

on the vesting schedule (how long employees work for you before these funds are considered wholly theirs).

Ease of implementation

Overdraft Services

For more account information and terms and conditions governing our deposit accounts, see our applicable Simply Stated Product Guide, All About Personal Accounts & Services Disclosure and Agreement and Personal Accounts Fee Schedule.

1 Federal regulation limits certain types of withdrawals or transfers from your savings or money market account (including online/telephone transfers and Deposit Overdraft Protection transfers) to a maximum of 6 each monthly statement period (money market accounts) or calendar month (savings accounts or money market accounts when the statement period date was requested on a specific day). Union Bank will charge a $15 Excess Activity Charge for each transfer exceeding the limits. If you exceed these limits, the Bank is required to close your account or convert your account to one not subject to transfer limitations. If your account is closed or converted due to excessive activity, you will not be able to open another Union Bank savings and/or money market account for 12 months from the time the account is closed or converted.

2 Subject to credit approval. Certain fees and other terms and conditions apply and are subject to change. See our Cash Reserve Account Agreement and Disclosure Statement.

3 Credit cards are issued and serviced by First Bankcard,® a division of First National Bank of Omaha.

4 Please refer to the terms and conditions of your credit card account for your APR. Advances are in $50 increments with interest beginning on the day of advance.

5 Enrollment is not guaranteed, and Union Bank reserves the right not to pay if your account is not in good standing. Authorization or payment of an Item or transaction is always at the Bank’s discretion. The dollar amount we may authorize or pay under any Overdraft Coverage service is subject to change daily without prior notice to you.

6 You are expected to pay back any overdrafts immediately. If you overdraw your account and do not deposit funds to cover the overdraft by the seventh calendar day your account has been continuously overdrawn, we will charge a Continued Overdraft Fee of $6 per Business Day, starting on the seventh calendar day of the overdraft. We will charge this fee for each Business Day that the account remains overdrawn, for up to five Business Days and a maximum of $30 for each period of continued overdraft.

7 The following accounts are not eligible for both Standard Overdraft Coverage and Debit Card Overdraft Coverage: savings accounts, Electronic Transfer Accounts (ETASM), Union Bank Access Account, Teen Access® accounts, and accounts linked with a Cash Reserve Account or Union Bank credit card. Accounts opened through the California Account or Pacific Rim Company Benefits Programs are not automatically enrolled.

8 Mobile Banking is offered as a service with Union Bank Online Banking. You may incur charges assessed by your service provider for text alerts. Message and data rates may apply.

You can choose from two types of overdraft services for your personal account(s): Overdraft Protection or Overdraft Coverage. In general, services that protect you against overdrafts (Overdraft Protection) are less costly than services that may cover you for a single overdraft (Overdraft Coverage).

• With Overdraft Protection services, we will automatically move funds from your eligible deposit account or credit line to cover the transaction. An overdraft is avoided and there is a single fee each day a transfer is made—no matter how many items were paid.

• With Overdraft Coverage services, Union Bank® may cover your transactions and charge you a fee for each item covered. In some cases you may still be charged the fee even if your transaction wasn’t covered. It’s also possible that the person or company you were trying to pay may charge you additional fees.

Rack brochures should tell the story of the offering—leading with the possibilities and supporting it with proof points of the product. Remember that this piece will be in-branch or, at least, in context, so you don’t need to be overly descriptive in headlines and visuals. Instead, aim to capture our tonality and achieve intrigue.

37Union Bank Quick Guide | Visual Identity

FlyerFlyers for Union Bank should aim to communicate information and opportunity. They can’t convey everything, however, so think about limited, thoughtful text and lots of white space. Foster feelings of optimism, appreciation, and encouragement. Talk about the themes from our messaging—strength from discipline, dynamic relationships, and propelling positive change—and balance them with the purely functional benefits of the checking account.

Verbal guidance

1. Headline: In headlines we should lead with propelling positive change and catch clients’ attention upfront with possibility. We don’t use end punctuation for Union Bank headlines, but feel free to add an em dash to build rhythm.

2. Rest of flyer: Make sure to visually break apart the points you’re making, and section the copy accordingly. Use bullets and section headlines, and incorporate photography to support specific points. All flyers should include a clear call-to-action so customers know where to go next.
