Industrial Haulage |
290.10 |
e
g
g
Because the base color of industrial haulage vehicles varies for reasons of safety and maintenance, and because the space available for identification is often limited, graphic signatures are not used on these vehicles.
Instead, the signature Monogram is used alone.
Color
Light-colored vehicles:
Use black in the field and outline circle, with the color of the vehicle appearing in the letters/curlicues.
Note: Use a positive reproduction proof of the signature Monogram, available from the GE Identity Website or Hotline.
Dark-colored vehicles:
Use white in the letters/curlicues, with the color of the vehicle appearing in the field.
Note: Use a reverse reproduction proof of the signature Monogram, available from the GE Identity Website or Hotline.
Reproduction
Use computer-assisted cutting equipment, photoetched dies, or photomechanical screen printing to produce decals of the signature Monogram.
Avoid hand-painted applications.

Names
Component
g
GE Identity Program
These guidelines apply to the names of all GE components and subcomponents.
The purpose of the component naming standards is to
•leverage the unity of the Company through a consistent and simple naming system that will
-increase the impact and visibility of GE
-increase awareness of the depth and breadth, or diversity, of GE
•provide each GE business with a strong individual identity that will
-clarify the understanding of each business
-leverage the strength of GE for each business
The naming standards pertain to communicative names—the informal names used in conversation or copy and in graphic signatures. Graphic signatures are the visual expression of identity for most GE components and affiliates. They are used in media such as letterheads and business cards, advertising, brochures, product literature, packaging, and all the other communications directed to consumers, customers, employees, investors, and others.
Note: Usually, the naming process results in a single communicative name used by all organizational elements within a component. In cases where a single name would misrepresent a subcomponent, additional names are recommended.
In most cases, the legal name—the formal name used in the address block on letterheads and in contracts, proposals, and agreements where required by law—does not change. For example, the communicative name of the Company is “GE,” but its legal name remains “General Electric Company.”
