CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

1.0 Introduction

Cree is united with its agents, distributors and upgrade partners in the pursuit of a

common goal — to deliver beautiful LED light while slashing energy and maintenance

costs associated with traditional incandescent bulbs and without the toxic mercury

found in fluorescents. Cree provides unparalleled innovation and proven technology

with LED lighting. The value of LED lighting is already being realized with installations

around the world.

Working with Cree enables access to market-leading products and technology, a

commitment to future innovation and most importantly, the assurance that Cree

products have been tested and refined to perform as advertised. That’s why Cree is

leading the LED lighting revolution.

Cree is proud to work with companies who share our values. Cree has developed a set

of logos designed to help our authorized agents, distributors and upgrade partners to

leverage the success of Cree with your own company identity.

The examples and standards outlined in this guide are designed to

ensure the Cree brand is clearly and consistently represented, while

also ensuring that your organization is the main interface for your

customers. While it is beneficial to your organization, to Cree and

to your customers to show your relationship with Cree, your identity

should be the most prominent.

These guidelines cover only Cree-specific elements that reference our particular

relationships and initiatives. You must always use your company’s proprietary design

when creating your communications materials.

1.1 Corporate marketing contacts

If you have any questions about the content in this guide or proper usage of Cree

Authorized logos, please contact [email protected].

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 2

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

2.0 Cree Authorized logos

Cree Authorized logos represent an unwavering dedication to innovation, to delivery

of the industry’s highest performing products and to a no-compromise approach to

efficiency and quality of light.

Proper use of Cree Authorized logos is used to leverage the benefits of Cree’s

innovative technology and components in the marketplace. Co-branding logos

appear as the Cree logo in a defined format with an associated mark used to

distinguish them in the market.

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 3

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

2.1 Use of Cree Authorized logos by third parties

Cree Authorized logos may be used by a third party only if the third party has a signed

Co-Branding and Trademark License Agreement with Cree. All uses of Cree Authorized

logos and related word marks for purposes of branding by third parties must be in

accordance with the provisions of the Trademark License Agreement and this Guide.

The purpose of these requirements is to maintain the integrity of the marks and

strengthen the brand. Any non-compliant use of the word marks or logos erode the

value of Cree as a brand.

Cree offers three Cree Authorized logos. Your relationship and signed agreements with

Cree will determine the correct logo for your use. The logo you need is provided in the

logo package you will receive upon execution of the signed agreement. Use only the

Cree Authorized logo art files provided by Cree to ensure proper reproduction. When

using the Cree Authorized logos, third parties must use camera-ready art or approved

computer graphic files supplied by Cree and may not generate the logo independently.

Guidelines on proper file formats are provided in section 4.4.

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 4

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

2.2 Cree Authorized logo misuse

Cree monitors the use of Cree Authorized logos very closely. Cree has the right to

exercise all rights and remedies for violations of the requirements for use of Cree

Authorized logos set forth in this Guide and any associated License Agreement.

Typically, the general course of action for violating the requirements for use of Cree

Authorized logos will be as follows:

1. Those who violate the guidelines will receive a call or written notice of

the specific violation.

2. They must advise Cree in a determined or set timeframe of a course of

action for correction of the mark violation.

3. Cree will follow up with them to ensure that the mistake/violation has

been corrected.

Further misuse or blatant disregard for the mark guidelines and rules may result in loss

of rights to Cree Authorized logos as well as Cree’s exercise of other available rights

and remedies.

If you have any questions regarding the use of Cree Authorized logos, please contact

[email protected].

2.3 Cree master logo

The Cree master logo is reserved exclusively for use by Cree. However, you may use

the Cree master logo on your website if the logo usage has a clear association with

the product and no association with your company logos or product. See the example

provided in Section 2.3.1. Additional exceptions may be considered on a case-by-

case basis. If you would like to pursue permission to use the Cree master logo, please

contact [email protected].

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 5

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

2.3.1 Cree solid logo for very small and digital use

In very small applications (less than 25.5mm) and some digital applications, such as

product identification on websites, it is recommended that the solid Cree logo be used.

The express written consent of Cree corporate marketing is needed for you to use the

solid Cree logo. Cree will supply computer graphic files and camera-ready artwork of

the Cree solid logo. Do not generate the Cree solid logo on your own.

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

3.0 Use of the Cree Authorized trademarks

Proper usage of the Cree Authorized trademarks identifies our products and services

as technologically superior and market-leading and identifies you as an authorized

agent, distributor or upgrade partner for those products and services.

The Cree Authorized trademarks can only be used by authorized Cree agents,

distributors and upgrade partners who have signed the appropriate Trademark

License Agreement with Cree.

For information on licensing and trademark usage, please contact

[email protected].

3.1 Trademark symbol

Use the correct trademark symbol. Cree is a registered trademark of Cree, Inc. and

must display the ® after the first occurrence of the mark when used in text. The ®

symbol will always be superscript with no space between it and the mark Cree.

For example:

Cree® Authorized Agent

Cree® Authorized Distributor

Cree® Authorized Upgrade Partner

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 7

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

3.1.1 When is the ® symbol required?

Preferred usage:

• Use the ® symbol with the first use of the word mark Cree as an adjective.

Considerations:

Trademarks need to only be marked once, per contiguous document. The attribution

statement can appear on the last page, back cover or other location that complements

the design.

The ® symbol should be used as a superscript, but DOES NOT need to be the same

font size/family as the copy. It can be made smaller, to increase aesthetic appeal, as

long as it is still legible.

3.1.2 Trademark attribution

Use a trademark attribution statement at the bottom of any documentation containing

the logos including language consistent with the following example:

Cree® is a registered trademark and the Cree Authorized Agent logo is a trademark of

Cree, Inc.

Alternative 1

If the preferred usage as indicated in Section 3.1.1 above is not desirable because of

spacing limitations or other aesthetic issues, then the ® symbol can be used on the

word mark adjective anywhere in the text, along with an appropriate trademark attri-

bution statement at the bottom of the document.

Alternative 2

For truly space-constrained applications such as small premiums or web banners ads,

it is permissible to omit the trademark attribution statement at the bottom of the

document and to use the ® symbol on a word mark that is used as an adjective.

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 8

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

3.2 Proper usage of the Cree Authorized phrases in text

Do not vary the spelling or capitalization, add hyphens, make one word two or use

a plural form of the Cree Authorized Agent, Cree Authorized Distributor or Cree

Authorized Upgrade Partner phrases.

• There is only one correct usage of the phrases and that is Cree Authorized Agent,

Cree Authorized Distributor or Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner.

Cree Authorized Agent

Cree Authorized Distributor

Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner

• The phrases should always be capitalized as shown here.

• If the usage of the word mark Cree in the Cree Authorized phrases is the first

and/or only usage of the word mark in text, then the ® symbol should be used

with the mark consistent with the guidelines provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.1.1.

• Do not hyphenate or place an extra space anywhere in the phrases. For example:

Cree Authorized Agent should never be Cree-Authorized Agent.

• Do not use Authorized Agent, Authorized Distributor or Authorized Upgrade

Partner by themselves.

• Do not shorten or make acronyms out of the Cree Authorized Agent, Cree

Authorized Distributor or Cree Authorized Upgrade Partner phrases.

• Do not display Cree Authorized logos or related Cree Authorized phrases in a

manner that is illegible or difficult to read.

• On materials that include both Cree Authorized logos and your company name,

you must display your company name more prominently than the Cree Authorized

logos.

• Do not use Cree Authorized logos or the related phrases in a manner such that they

appear to be associated with products of other manufacturers.

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 9

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

3.3 Exceptions

With the express written consent of an authorized representative of Cree, other

attributions may be used.

If you have any questions regarding the use of the Cree Authorized logos, please

contact [email protected].

CO-BRANDING STYLE GUIDE: CREE AUTHORIZED LOGOS

4.4 Logo file formats

Cree Authorized logos are provided in these file formats: EPS, JPEG, PNG and GIF.

Following are some recommended guidelines designed to help you select the right file

format for your particular application.

4.4.1 EPS format

EPS format is applicable for high-quality print and reproduction applications and

may be scaled to any size without sacrificing image quality. EPS format is ideal for

page layout or graphics programs and may also be used to create files in any other

image formats and sizes. EPS files should not be used for on-screen, office or web

applications.

4.4.2 JPEG format

JPEG format is best suited for office, on-screen and web applications and works well

for printing on low-resolution printers. Never use JPEGs for high-quality print output or

for scaling to larger logo sizes. Do not animate any Cree Authorized logo.

4.4.3 PNG format

The PNG format works well for office applications such as PowerPoint® presentations

and Microsoft® Word® documents, but should never be used to resize the logo larger

than provided in the initial PNG file.

4.4.4 GIF format

GIF format logos are ideal for on-screen and web applications. They should never

be used for high-resolution printing and should not be scaled to make the logo

larger than the size provided in the original GIF file. Do not animate any Cree

Authorized logo.

VERSION 1.0 SEPTEMBER 2012 13
