Brand Imagery
- The AT&T Corporate Signature is composed of two elements: the AT&T globe symbol and the AT&T custom-drawn logotype. The globe symbol within the signatures has been redesigned to convey dimension and depth.
- Please note: This customization provides optimum legibility in all sizes and orientations. Do not attempt to recreate this artwork. These elements must always remain in the exact size and position that appear in the reproducible artwork. The horizontal version is the preferred application for all signatures.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures have been designed based on the AT&T Corporate Signature and include a descriptive name that identifies each AT&T-branded business. Each signature name has been carefully typeset and letter spaced in Gill Sans and should never be altered in any way. The AT&T Branded Business Signatures are available in the same color variations as the AT&T Corporate Signature.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures should be used in marketing communications including advertising, direct marketing, collateral, e-business, stationery, signage and vehicles. For a comprehensive list of media applications, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of this manual.

- Gill Sans characteristics Designed by Eric Gill in the late 1920’s, Gill Sans is classified as a humanist sans serif typeface known for its legibility at all sizes in body copy and display work. Some unique characteristics of the Gill Sans typeface are its signature flared capital ‘R’ and eyeglass lowercase ‘g’.

- To ensure that the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures are always legibly and accurately reproduced, minimum size guidelines have been determined. Never reproduce the signature at sizes less than those shown below. As illustrated below, the minimum size is determined by measuring the diameter of the globe.
- Gradient signatures To accurately capture the fine detail in the gradient globe, never reproduce AT&T gradient signatures less than 3/8" (9.5mm).
- Solid signatures The solid signatures can be accurately reproduced at smaller sizes than the gradient signatures. The smallest approved solid signature is 1/4" (6.4mm).
- A clear area around the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures will insure they have maximum visibility and impact on every communication. Avoid crowding the signatures with other graphic elements such as typography and imagery. As illustrated below, the diameter of the globe symbol (X) has been chosen as the standard unit of measurement for calculating the signature clear area.
- Keep the clear area to each side of the AT&T signatures equal to or greater than the diameter of the globe symbol (X). Follow this standard for all media except signs, banners, etc., (see below).
- Reproducing the AT&T signature in sign applications often requires more flexibility. For banners, building façades, directory signs, monument signs, etc., provide a clear area equal to or greater than half (.5X) the diameter of the globe symbol (X).
- Place the signature in a prominent position The AT&T signature should be placed in one of the four corners of any given application, at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the edges.
- This example illustrates the proper clear area and placement for a horizontal signature in a printed application. Although more is preferred, the body copy must be at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the signature.
- These guidelines apply to all applications, excluding signs, posters, banners, etc. Please refer to page 15 for additional information.
- Signs are vital to AT&T. Posters, banners, building facades, directories and monuments provide wayfinding and identification. Often, however, signs pose a challenge for placing a signature because of limited space, fabrication and cost. For a clear, legible sign application, follow the placement guidelines below.
- 48" x 36" trade show banner Center and size the AT&T signature, either horizontal or vertical, so that the minimum clear area (.5X) surrounds each side of the signature.
- Production techniques may vary, so be sure the vendor can reproduce the signature correctly and in the highest quality. If reproduction quality is an issue, do not use a gradient signature and consider using a solid globe signature.

Brand Imagery
- The AT&T Corporate Signature is composed of two elements: the AT&T globe symbol and the AT&T custom-drawn logotype. The globe symbol within the signatures has been redesigned to convey dimension and depth.
- Please note: This customization provides optimum legibility in all sizes and orientations. Do not attempt to recreate this artwork. These elements must always remain in the exact size and position that appear in the reproducible artwork. The horizontal version is the preferred application for all signatures.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures have been designed based on the AT&T Corporate Signature and include a descriptive name that identifies each AT&T-branded business. Each signature name has been carefully typeset and letter spaced in Gill Sans and should never be altered in any way. The AT&T Branded Business Signatures are available in the same color variations as the AT&T Corporate Signature.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures should be used in marketing communications including advertising, direct marketing, collateral, e-business, stationery, signage and vehicles. For a comprehensive list of media applications, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of this manual.

Typography
- Typography plays an important role in communicating an overall tone and quality. Careful use of typography reinforces our personality and ensures clarity and harmony in all AT&T communications.

- To ensure that the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures are always legibly and accurately reproduced, minimum size guidelines have been determined. Never reproduce the signature at sizes less than those shown below. As illustrated below, the minimum size is determined by measuring the diameter of the globe.
- Gradient signatures To accurately capture the fine detail in the gradient globe, never reproduce AT&T gradient signatures less than 3/8" (9.5mm).
- Solid signatures The solid signatures can be accurately reproduced at smaller sizes than the gradient signatures. The smallest approved solid signature is 1/4" (6.4mm).
- A clear area around the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures will insure they have maximum visibility and impact on every communication. Avoid crowding the signatures with other graphic elements such as typography and imagery. As illustrated below, the diameter of the globe symbol (X) has been chosen as the standard unit of measurement for calculating the signature clear area.
- Keep the clear area to each side of the AT&T signatures equal to or greater than the diameter of the globe symbol (X). Follow this standard for all media except signs, banners, etc., (see below).

- Signs are vital to AT&T. Posters, banners, building facades, directories and monuments provide wayfinding and identification. Often, however, signs pose a challenge for placing a signature because of limited space, fabrication and cost. For a clear, legible sign application, follow the placement guidelines below.
- 48" x 36" trade show banner Center and size the AT&T signature, either horizontal or vertical, so that the minimum clear area (.5X) surrounds each side of the signature.
- Production techniques may vary, so be sure the vendor can reproduce the signature correctly and in the highest quality. If reproduction quality is an issue, do not use a gradient signature and consider using a solid globe signature.

- For banners, building façades, directory signs, monument signs, etc., provide a clear area equal to or greater than half (.5X) the diameter of the globe symbol (X).
- The AT&T signature should be placed in one of the four corners of any given application, at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the edges.
- Although more is preferred, the body copy must be at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the signature.
- These guidelines apply to all applications, excluding signs, posters, banners, etc. Please refer to page 15 for additional information.
- Center and size the AT&T signature, either horizontal or vertical, so that the minimum clear area (.5X) surrounds each side of the signature.
- Always provide the minimum clear area (.5X) for the signature in sign applications.
- Do not use the signature as part of a sentence or tagline. Always stage the signature alone and away from other graphic elements. Provide the minimum signature clear area as indicated on page 15.
- Do not crowd the signature with other graphic elements including typography, illustration and photography. Provide the minimum clear area to all sides of the signature for maximum visibility and impact.
- Do not use two or more signatures for identification on the same page.
- Do not place the AT&T signature on a background with insufficient contrast.
- Do not place the (9 signature on a AT&T logotype with textured or screened background. The texture makes the AT&T signature unclear.
- Do not stretch, condense or distort the identification signature in any way.

- The reverse version should only be placed on 100% black to 30% black backgrounds (excluding promotional items).
- To ensure that the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures are always legibly and accurately reproduced, minimum size guidelines have been determined. Never reproduce the signature at sizes less than those shown below. As illustrated below, the minimum size is determined by measuring the diameter of the globe.
- To accurately capture the fine detail in the gradient globe, never reproduce AT&T gradient signatures less than 3/8" (9.5mm).
- The solid signatures can be accurately reproduced at smaller sizes than the gradient signatures. The smallest approved solid signature is 1/4" (6.4mm).
- A clear area around the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures will insure they have maximum visibility and impact on every communication. Avoid crowding the signatures with other graphic elements such as typography and imagery. As illustrated below, the diameter of the globe symbol (X) has been chosen as the standard unit of measurement for calculating the signature clear area.
- Keep the clear area to each side of the AT&T signatures equal to or greater than the diameter of the globe symbol (X). Follow this standard for all media except signs, banners, etc., (see below).

- Although more is preferred, the body copy must be at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the signature.
- Signs are vital to AT&T. Posters, banners, building facades, directories and monuments provide wayfinding and identification. Often, however, signs pose a challenge for placing a signature because of limited space, fabrication and cost. For a clear, legible sign application, follow the placement guidelines below.
- Center and size the AT&T signature, either horizontal or vertical, so that the minimum clear area (.5X) surrounds each side of the signature.

- Always provide the minimum clear area (.5X) for the signature in sign applications.
- The AT&T signature is one of AT&T’s most valuable corporate assets and the equity in the AT&T identity must not be depreciated in any way. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure proper reproduction and application of the AT&T Corporate Signature and AT&T Branded Business Signatures.The examples below and on the following pages illustrate some of the most common application errors.
- Both the positive and reverse, solid signatures have been carefully drawn for placement on their respective backgrounds. As a general rule, the highlight of the globe symbol should always appear white.

As illustrated below, the diameter of the globe symbol (X) has been chosen as the standard unit of measurement for calculating the signature clear area.
- Keep the clear area to each side of the AT&T signatures equal to or greater than the diameter of the globe symbol (X). Follow this standard for all media except signs, banners, etc., (see below).
- For banners, building façades, directory signs, monument signs, etc., provide a clear area equal to or greater than half (.5X) the diameter of the globe symbol (X).
- The AT&T signature should be placed in one of the four corners of any given application, at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the edges.
- Although more is preferred, the body copy must be at least one globe symbol diameter (X) away from the signature.
- These guidelines apply to all applications, excluding signs, posters, banners, etc. Please refer to page 15 for additional information.
- Center and size the AT&T signature, either horizontal or vertical, so that the minimum clear area (.5X) surrounds each side of the signature.
- Always provide the minimum clear area (.5X) for the signature in sign applications.
- Do not use the signature as part of a sentence or tagline. Always stage the signature alone and away from other graphic elements. Provide the minimum signature clear area as indicated on page 15.
- Do not crowd the signature with other graphic elements including typography, illustration and photography. Provide the minimum clear area to all sides of the signature for maximum visibility and impact.

Brand Architecture
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures have been designed based on the AT&T Corporate Signature and include a descriptive name that identifies each AT&T-branded business. Each signature name has been carefully typeset and letter spaced in Gill Sans and should never be altered in any way. The AT&T Branded Business Signatures are available in the same color variations as the AT&T Corporate Signature.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures were created to convey the wide range of products, services and offers delivered by the AT&T brand. The descriptive names include AT&T Broadband, AT&T Business, AT&T Consumer, AT&T Labs, AT&T Solutions and AT&T Wireless.These are the only approved names for use in communications within the portfolio of AT&T Branded Business Signatures.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures should be used in marketing communications including advertising, direct marketing, collateral, e-business, stationery, signage and vehicles. For a comprehensive list of media applications, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of this manual.
- There are two primary types of communications: corporate communications and business-specific communications.
- The AT&T Corporate Signature should be used when a communication: represents the brand at large; represents the company or corporate voice of AT&T corporation; represents two or more AT&T-branded businesses, products, services or offers.
- The AT&T Branded Business Signatures should be used when a communication: represents the products, services or offers that are specific to or delivered by a single AT&T-branded business.
- Please note: An AT&T-branded business may use the AT&T Corporate Signature as an alternative. When the AT&T Corporate Signature is used in lieu of an AT&T Branded Business Signature, the full name of the AT&T-branded business should be used in the copy of the communication (e.g., AT&T Wireless).This helps to expand the value of the AT&T brand and clarify the overall message. Refer to the chart below for a comprehensive listing of proper signature applications within media.
- AT&T Branded Business Signatures: The combination of the AT&T Corporate Signature and a descriptive name identifying each AT&T-branded business.
- Sub-branding: The consistent method of naming and displaying specific AT&T-branded business products, services or offers.
Packaging Design
- The two-color positive, gradient AT&T signatures are recommended for packaging and direct marketing. (Refer to page 6 for additional information.)
