Co-Branding and Airbus Marketing Support

As an Official Reseller, you have the right to promote and sell Airbus Intelligence products and services included in your distribution contract as a part of your own portfolio. You are welcome to resort to any materials provided by Airbus specifically for your promotional activities (e.g.: brochures, roll up etc.). In certain instances, certain marketing materials from Airbus should be co-branded with your logo and company information (please refer to slide 6).

Authorised Partner Signet

4

The “Authorised Partner” signet is available in various formats (.eps, .jpeg, .tif, .png) within the partner portal (“General Information” section). Important : This signet must be applied as a reference when you include information on Airbus Intelligence products and services into your own promotion materials (e.g.: company brochure, website and/ or presentations). The blue version has to be the preferred version. However, in certain circumstances, you are able to use the black-and-white logo, if they suit your purpose better. Use this signet on solid-coloured or very quiet backgrounds only. The signet is supplied as artwork and must not be altered in any way. Airbus logo minimum size is 3 mm (height) as shown below

Co-Branded Brochures – Front

A specific area has been created on the front page of the brochure, to hold your logo, headed ‘AUTHORISED PARTNER’. Your logo must be placed in the area below this header (see example). Logo arrangement and size: • In this case, Airbus leads communication. Consequently, the partner logo has to be 40-60 ratio (see below). • Align left with the A in ‘AUTHORISED’ • Height-wise, align through the center of the Airbus (as shown on the bottom of this page) The logo colors vary depending on the visual behind them. Please try to harmonize them as best as possible.

Co-Branded Roll-Up

10

Co-branded roll-ups are now available on the Partner Portal. If you need a specific visual for a roll-up, which is not available in the partner portal, please contact us. Logo positioning: • As a guide the partner logo should be 60% of the Airbus logo. • It should be placed opposite the Airbus logo as shown in the diagram below.

How can I include my logo and company information on a brochure with your PDF file? To add such elements, you need to use a DTP publication software such as Abobe In Design or QuarkXpress. Thanks to the software, you will be able to add your logo on the artwork file.

• The space between « Authorised Partner» and your logo should be equal to the height of the ‘A’ in Airbus. It should be left aligned to the edge of the partner logo.

Event Support

For your event participations, you are welcome to resort to all of the above-mentioned materials. Further, we recommend that you include the ‘Authorized Reseller Signet’ on your booth design (however, as a lower size in comparison to your own branding) if you use the event to promote Airbus Defence and Space products. Co-branded booths are possible if Airbus sales & marketing representatives are attending the event. In addition to that, our operational marketing team have to pre-approve your co-branded visual. For smaller shows, you are welcome to reproduce Airbus Defence and Space roll-ups. For important events, Airbus Defence and Space may be able to support your event participation financially and/or with on-site staff. The request must be sent at least 45 days before the event. In case of such requests, please discuss with your Sales Manager or Regional Channel Manager individually.
