4.0 bLU cRU Branding Guidelines

bLU cRU Logo/Colors

Colors

One of the most important aspects of a brand logo is to convey a clear and consistent representation of the brand. This logo style guide provides comprehensive information to ensure proper use of the bLU cRU logo, including colors, fonts, shape, and clear space requirements. The guide also contains examples of incorrect use of the logo to further clarify guidelines and proper use.

bLU cRU Blue4-Color:Blue: 100C/90MBlack: 100KGray: 46C/34M/32Y/17K

PMS:Blue: 287CBlack: Black 3 CGray: Cool Gray 7 C

This is the preferred logo and should be used whenever possible. This should be the default logo for all communications, unless it is unsuitable for the nature of the communication. This logo has been created using precise proportional relationships which should not be altered.

The height of the letter U used in the logo determines the surrounding clearance area from all other design elements and typography.

The bLU cRU logo should never be reproduced any smaller than 1-inch in size to ensure optimal visibility and impact.

Correct CapitalizationClearance Area: Art Elements & Typography

Blu Cru

bLU cRU

BLU CRU

The letters “b” in bLU and “c” in cRU must always be lower case. Likewise, the letters “LU” in bLU and “RU” in cRU must always be capitalized. However, in instances where all caps are used throughout, it is OK to use “BLU CRU.” This is the only exception to the upper and lower case rule.

Only when all cap type is used is it acceptable to spell out BLU CRU in all cap type as seen here. This is NOT preferred and is the only exception to the upper and lower case overriding rule.

It is important that proper size and spacing rules be followed to ensure the bLU cRU logo displays and prints with the best quality possible, and to ensure optimal logo visibility and impact.

Visual identity manual

Alternative Logotype for Promotional Items OnlyPromotional items are any type of item or merchandise given away or sold that are designed to promote a company. Some common examples of promotional items include writing instruments (pens and pencils), apparel (t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts), desk accessories (paper clip dispensers, post-it notes), drinkware (travel mugs, water bottles), magnets, computer/electronic accessories, sporting goods (golf balls, stadium cushions) and automotive accessories such as ice scrapers, sunshades and tool kits.

The circular logo is the preferred logo and can be used by itself. When the logotype is used without the circle, it must be used with the Yamaha Racing logo to ensure proper communication context. In such instances, bLU cRU logotype should be dominant to the Yamaha Racing logo.

The Yamaha Racing logo and the term “Yamaha Racing” must always be kept independent from other design elements and logos, except background color.

Background Color: The logotype must always appear on a solid blue background. Blue is NOT part of the logo and shown only to illustrate how the type reverses out. The Yamaha logo must not be more than 75% width of the bLU cRU logo. For usage of the Yamaha racing logo, please refer to Yamaha Race Visual Identity Manual Version 2.0.

This is for proportion only and not for placement of logos with one another.

Size and Spacing RequirementsProportions

1" minimum:The bLU cRU logo should never be reproduced any smaller than 1-inch in size to ensure optimal visibility and impact.

Clearance Area:The height of the letter U used in the logo determines the surrounding clearance area from all other design elements and typography.
