We work as one company to invent the next industrial era.

And create things that build, move, power, and cure our world.

A R E L E N T L E S S Q U E S T F O R P R O G R E S S . It is the very fiber of our DNA.

GE HAS REVOLUTIONIZED AND DEFINED MODERN PRODUCTIVITY.

No one reinvents like we do.

No one bridges minds and machines like we can.

No one is more capable of continually driving simplicity at scale.

No one is better poised to deliver the promise of the Industrial Internet.

CO R E B E L I E F SWe keep our legacy in motion

by living our core beliefs.

We develop deep relationships and

deep empathy that fosters trust,

true partnerships, and repeat business.

We keep focused on what matters most.

We constantly ask ourselves:

Is there a faster, simpler, or better way?

big bets that others won’t. While others wait

for tomorrow, we take action.

We are a brand in motion.

We stay true to our brand character in

everything we do and everything we create,

from customer interactions to ad campaigns.

Nothing is simpler or more powerful than one

GE. By continuing to lead with “GE” as our master

brand, we help our customers quickly connect

the idea and promise of GE to any of our myriad

products and services.

O U R V I S UA L S Y S T E M feels like a single unit, but is made of key

elements that work together to powerfully

express our character and mission.

A $45.5BN asset, our Monogram is

the strongest representation of the

GE brand when our people cannot

be present.

Hand-drawn more than a century

ago, it symbolizes our humanity

and enduring strength.

The Monogram is not just where

we’ve been, but where we’re going.

M O N O G R A M

We use one tagline:

It expresses our ability to understand

the power of thinking and doing, and to make

the unimaginable real—and extraordinary.

G E D E R I V E D I T S T Y P E FAC E FA M I LY, G E I N S P I R Afrom the classic curves and human

feel of the Monogram. Distinctive and

versatile, it is used on virtually all of

our written materials.

Imagination at work

Primary colors

They are as bold and exuberant as we are

courageous, purposeful, engaging,

and optimistic. Color is used to imbue our

stories with emotion and provide visual power.

O U R CO LO R S R E F L E C T O U R C H A R AC T E R

And on the move, inventing the next industrial era.

Our brand provides a sense of energy, intrigue, and

interaction across our expressions: We are a brand in motion.

WE ARE ON A MISSION

OUR IMAGES portray the reality of GE, and provide the best way to understand us.

Showcasing our people, machines, and technology demonstrates

GE’s essential contribution to our daily lives.

The world of GE is the world we live in.

It is a world for the curious, the bold, and the optimistic.

It is a laboratory of ideas creating the tools of tomorrow.

It is you and me ushering in a new era.

A total of 6,000 GE employees from 37 different operations helped NASA run the Apollo program between 1961 and 1972 and send 24 people to the moon and back.

BECAUSE AT GE, SOMEDAY IS TODAY.
