Dynamic Monogram |
134.10 |
Reproduction Alternatives |
|
Generally, the Dynamic Monogram is reproduced in a subtle color of low contrast to the background, and the accompanying graphic signature is visually stronger than the Dynamic Monogram. When so reproduced, the Dynamic Monogram may be overprinted with typography.
Some marketing communications may require a stronger presentation of the Dynamic Monogram. When it is reproduced in strong
contrast to the background, typography may not overprint it.
Note: Correct reproduction of the Monogram requires the letters/curlicues to be lighter than the field. The letters/curlicues are never darker than the field. To ensure correct reproduction, use the correct positive or reverse Monogram in GE Logo Font—a custom font that contains, instead of the alphabet, all versions of the signature and Dynamic Monograms. It is available from the GE Identity Website or Hotline.
(For information on using this font, see docu- ment 382, GE Logo Font.)
Examples of correct reproduction are shown on the following pages.

GE Identity Program
The product identification standards apply to all products marketed under the GE brand, including those that use both the name “GE” and a secondary brand name.
These standards provide a plan for displaying graphic signatures or the Monogram alone consistently and prominently on products marketed under the GE brand. They also help to
•streamline and modernize the appearance of product identification
•communicate specific attributes of refinement, sophistication, high technology, dynamism, and innovation
•unify the identification of the GE brand of products produced by all components and licensed affiliates so that each draws from and contributes to the strength of the GE identity
•provide flexibility to accommodate the space limitations and reproduction methods required to identify different products
