Brand Imagery
- We’ve adopted a distinctive graphic device to be used in our communications – the “Global Arc.” We use it to structure our layouts and to help us integrate our photos. A distinctive feature of the Honeywell Graphic Language is the “Global Arc.” It has been created as a unifying graphic element that will be used across all of our communications. The “Global Arc,” a subtle, yet powerful graphic, reinforces our key attributes. First and foremost, the “Global Arc” represents Honeywell’s global perspective and unique vantage point. It appears both as a view of the curvature of the earth, as well as a long-reaching view over the horizon. Second, it gives all of the imagery we use a proprietary cropping. Over time, this unique look will instantly be recognizable as Honeywell’s. Use of the “Global Arc” is preferred and is used in most of our communications. Orientation is horizontal, never vertical. We place the Global Arc so that it bleeds off of the left and right margins. The images we place are always located above the Global Arc. Headlines and copy are located below the Global Arc.
Color Palette
- The Honeywell color system is comprised of three palettes – Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Honeywell Red is the color of our logo and our primary brand color. We also use it to identify high-level corporate communications. Two other colors – Total Black and Brilliant White – round out the primary palette.
- The Secondary palette is made of 2 colors consisting of Dark Gray and Light Gray. These colors are used as large solid areas and as information differentiation elements, as demonstrated in the examples on the following pages.
- The Tertiary palette consists of 5 colors. Deep Blue, Dark Green, Light Green, Bright Blue and Tan. These colors have a wide range for usage. For instance – blocks of color to differentiate content, as Headings and Subhead, bullets and graphical elements, charts, graphs and bullets. Overall they should be used as an accent color to enhance communication without diluting from our primary corporate palette.
- It is important to reproduce these colors accurately in our communications. PANTONE® and four color formulas have been provided here.
- For Honeywell Red use: PANTONE ® 485C c:0 m:95 y:100 k:0 web:#DE0031
- For Total Black use: c:0 m:0 y:0 k:100 web:#191A00

- Consistent use of color will help make our communications even more recognizable to our audiences.
- Honeywell Red, the color of our logo.
- Do the photos you are using reflect our style and personality? Are your graphics aligned with the messages you are sending? Have you stayed within our color palette?
Typography
- To help us establish a consistent and credible brand style, a single family of typefaces has been chosen for most applications – Helvetica. It has been chosen because it is contemporary, simple and readable. For simplicity and ease of use, we only use select weights of Helvetica.
- For internal word-processed communications and presentations, such as PowerPoint, Arial, a system font may be substituted. No other typefaces, no matter how similar they appear, may be used.
- Font naming conventions may vary depending on the computer operating system (Macintosh or PC).
- Helvetica Light: Honest and easy to read, this weight is perfect for both body copy and large ad headlines.
- Helvetica Medium: When greater emphasis is desired in body copy, Medium is a good choice.
- Helvetica Bold: A bit heavier than Medium, upper & lower case Bold is ideally suited for headlines in our print collateral.
- HELVETICA LIGHT: Easy to read in small sizes, this weight is perfect for captions and secondary heads.
- HELVETICA MEDIUM: When greater emphasis is desired in text and captions, Medium All Caps is a good choice.
- HELVETICA BOLD: A bit heavier than Medium, all caps Bold is a good choice for subheads.
- We’ve developed typographic standards for how we use type to convey our messages. For primary headlines, we use Helvetica Bold.
- When formatting body copy, take care to direct the reader’s attention to the most important information in the most logical order. The reader should sense structure immediately. Helvetica Light is the preferred typestyle for body copy and text. Three weights are permitted: Light, Medium and Bold. These typestyles were selected because they are contemporary classics and easy to read. Space permitting, we prefer open line spacing. It reinforces the strong horizontal flow of our communications. If space limitations pose a problem, Helvetica Light, Medium and Bold Condensed may be substituted.
- PRIMARY MESSAGING – Style of headlines: grounded
- SECONDARY MESSAGING – Style of subheads & captions: We are committed to creating products and services that improve safety, quality and comfort of human life.
- Do not use unauthorized typefaces.
- Do not use type on a curve.
- Do not distort type.
- Do not use special effects with type.
- Do not put type in perspective.
- Type can be a powerful brand tool when used carefully and consistently.
- Only Helvetica fonts. Pages Layout by Interior of interior is determined the business. Use only Helvetica fonts.
- Have you used the Honeywell typefaces and no others?
- Are your headlines and copy sized and styled correctly?
Logo Usage
- The Honeywell logotype is our company’s primary identifier. Regardless of where the logo is being used, there are only three approved ways to use the Honeywell logotype: Freestanding logotype, logotype in bar, and logotype with rule (see the Honeywell ID Standards for more information on logo usage: www.honeywell.com/brandm).
- For our current advertising campaign and our marketing literature, we use the freestanding logotype.
- The Honeywell logo should be reproduced in Honeywell Red. The logo may be reproduced in black in one-color materials only.
- A clear zone, also known as the control field, always must surround the freestanding logotype. No graphic elements of any kind should intrude into this field. The width and height of the control field is determined by a measure equal to the height of the capital H in any size of logotype used.
- Primary logotype headline Size of is 1.5’ width. in logotype always Honeywell (Pantone 485C). The is Red logotype Honeywell
- Honeywell RED PMS 485C
- For Honeywell Red use: PANTONE ® 485C c:0 m:95 y:100 k:0 web:#DE0031
- Do not use the Honeywell logo in the upper band. Honeywell name remains in the bottom in product name.
- Option Two: Honeywell spelled out with product name in conjunction.
- Option One: Separate Honeywell logo and product name; the logo appears in the top band and the product name in the bottom band.
- Do not place any copy in the area of the brochure cover image.
- Have you correctly sized and placed the Honeywell logo?
- Is our logo in the correct colors? Is it on the right color background?
Tone And Messaging
- Our communications programs are one critical element of creating a consistent – and consistently positive – Honeywell brand experience. These guidelines have been created to make sure that you have the information and tools you need to create communications that support and build the Honeywell brand.
- These guidelines have been developed to ensure that Honeywell communications media (such as advertising, company literature, etc.) are consistent in theme, style and appearance. At the same time, our guidelines allow for great flexibility to meet specific market needs and promote creativity.
- Use of these Brand Guidelines and Honeywell’s Visual Identity Standards (found at www.honeywell.com/brandm) is mandatory for all organizations that do business under the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Effective Communicator means providing timely and concise information to others, and using clear and thoughtful oral and written communications to influence, negotiate and collaborate effectively. Leaders and employees need to appreciate that effective communication is about listening and being listened to, but is not always about being in agreement.
- PRIMARY MESSAGING – Style of headlines

Brand Values
- We are building a world that’s safer and more secure … More comfortable and energy efficient … More innovative and productive. We are Honeywell.
- This is the essence of today’s Honeywell … our brand promise.
- For more than a century, the Honeywell name has been synonymous with technology solutions that improve people’s lives. In these complicated times, more than ever before in our history, customers are turning to Honeywell to help solve many of the world’s most complex problems.
- Honeywell’s brand is really the product of many different factors that create an overall impression of our company in people’s minds. Our brand image is the way that people think, feel, and respond when they hear the word “Honeywell.” The brand has to stand for something and we (including our products and services) have to act and perform consistent with that image.
- Every Honeywell employee is a brand ambassador. With every customer contact and whenever we represent Honeywell, we have the opportunity either to strengthen the Honeywell brand or to cause it to lose some of its luster and prestige.
- Generations of Honeywell employees have built our powerful brands with their hard work, spirit of innovation, passion for quality, and commitment to customers. I am counting on every Honeywell employee to continue that legacy as we strive to keep our brand promise and build a better world.
- Honeywell is a global company with leading positions in many of the world’s most important and dynamic markets. Our customers include the top companies across many major industries. Honeywell technology makes people’s lives better in thousands of ways, everywhere you look. Our collective experience, spirit of innovation and in-depth customer understanding combine to create breakthrough solutions.
- But despite our size, scope, diversity and global reach, there are core threads that tie all of Honeywell together - across continents, business units, product types and industries. For example, everyone in Honeywell is united by a common set of Five Initiatives and 12 Behaviors, and a proven formula for success that is elegant in its simplicity: Customers + Technology = Performance.
- The Honeywell Brand also sets us apart from other companies. The Honeywell brand is shaped by the total experience people have when they interact with our company and see first-hand how our products and services perform. It is also defined by the way that people think, feel and respond on an emotional level when they hear our name. Our brand embodies what Honeywell is all about for the people who matter most to us – our employees, customers, potential customers, partners and suppliers, investors, and neighbors in the community.
- The essence of the Honeywell brand – our brand position – is captured in this idea: We are building a world that’s safer and more secure … More comfortable and energy efficient … More innovative and productive. We are Honeywell.
- This brand position represents the ideal image that Honeywell wants to create, communicate and reinforce through action, to all our audiences, across all our businesses, and in all our locations.
- Honeywell’s success is rooted in our superior expertise in all our most critical technologies. It’s strengthened by a smart and talented workforce that strives to be the first to know, to innovate and to create solutions for our customers. It’s built by strong customer relationships and extensive industry knowledge gained through decades of experience. And it’s supported by shared initiatives and behaviors, a performance-driven Six Sigma culture, and an uncompromising drive to be the best.
- We aren’t bragging when we say that Honeywell is building a better world. We prove it to ourselves, our customers and the rest of the world in thousands of ways and with every single interaction, every single day.
Visual Style
- Use of these Brand Guidelines and Honeywell’s Visual Identity Standards (found at www.honeywell.com/brandm) is mandatory for all organizations that do business under the Honeywell Master Brand.
- These are the basic building blocks we use to create communications in the Honeywell visual style. When we use them, we will consistently capture our spirit and express our distinctive look in every communication we create.
- The Honeywell logotype is our company’s primary identifier. Regardless of where the logo is being used, there are only three approved ways to use the Honeywell logotype: Freestanding logotype, logotype in bar, and logotype with rule (see the Honeywell ID Standards for more information on logo usage: www.honeywell.com/brandm).
- The Honeywell logo should be reproduced in Honeywell Red. The logo may be reproduced in black in one-color materials only.
- A clear zone, also known as the control field, always must surround the freestanding logotype. No graphic elements of any kind should intrude into this field. The width and height of the control field is determined by a measure equal to the height of the capital H in any size of logotype used.
- We’ve adopted a distinctive graphic device to be used in our communications – the “Global Arc.” We use it to structure our layouts and to help us integrate our photos.
- A distinctive feature of the Honeywell Graphic Language is the “Global Arc.” It has been created as a unifying graphic element that will be used across all of our communications. The “Global Arc,” a subtle, yet powerful graphic, reinforces our key attributes.
- First and foremost, the “Global Arc” represents Honeywell’s global perspective and unique vantage point. It appears both as a view of the curvature of the earth, as well as a long-reaching view over the horizon. Second, it gives all of the imagery we use a proprietary cropping. Over time, this unique look will instantly be recognizable as Honeywell’s.
- Use of the “Global Arc” is preferred and is used in most of our communications. Orientation is horizontal, never vertical. We place the Global Arc so that it bleeds off of the left and right margins. The images we place are always located above the Global Arc. Headlines and copy are located below the Global Arc.

Brand Architecture
- As part of an ongoing examination of Honeywell’s brand architecture, in 2004 the company adopted a modified master brand strategy. Almost all of the company’s business units, products and services are now branded “Honeywell.” Nearly all of the company’s businesses, products and services are branded with the well-known Honeywell Master Brand as their primary identifier.
- Within its master brand architecture, Honeywell supports a variety of sub-brands, product brands and services brands that are well-known identifiers in their respective markets. In all cases, these brands are secondary to the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Honeywell also supports a number of Honeywell Endorsed Brands and Honeywell Standalone Brands. These brands have excellent recognition, brand equity and value in their specific markets. These brands are supported and managed independently of the Honeywell Brand Management System and the Honeywell Visual Identity System. They have their own logos, brand colors and identity standards.
- In many cases, Endorsed Brand status is a step in the migration to the Honeywell Master Brand. Over a relatively short period of time (18-36 months), many of the current Endorsed Brands will evolve into product or service brands under the Honeywell Master Brand architecture. Those few that do not migrate will maintain their current form. Most Standalone Brands will retain their current status, but will be evaluated periodically for opportunities for closer alignment with the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Endorsed Brand and Standalone Brand status recognizes that each of these brands currently has value in its respective marketplace. Our overarching brand migration strategy is designed to transfer that existing value to the Honeywell Master Brand whenever practical. At the same time, by retaining the current brand name as a product or service brand, Honeywell can continue to capitalize on the brand equity that exists in the Endorsed Brand or Standalone Brand today.
- Business units responsible for the existing Endorsed Brands and Standalone Brands must develop a strategic brand plan that: • Takes into account such factors as customer relationships, marketing channels and channel conflicts, and transition costs; • Considers the use of one or more interim steps to evolve the brand identity from its current Endorsed Brand state, to its new status as a branded product or service under the Honeywell Master Brand architecture. Each interim step should build a progressively stronger link to the Honeywell Master Brand; • When complete migration is the appropriate path, use the smallest number of interim steps possible to make the transition, minimize cost and avoid confusion among customers, employees and other key audiences; • Includes an appropriate external and internal brand communications plan to support the migration. Depending on the brand and market, this plan should include public relations, internal communications and marketing communications elements.
- Brand migration strategies will be developed in consultation with the business unit communications leader and the Honeywell Brand Council.
- This migration philosophy and strategic process will also be followed for companies and brands acquired in the future. Brand migration should be considered by business units involved in merger and acquisition activities, as part of the due diligence and integration processes.
- The following brand logo migration examples are shown for illustrative purposes only. Each brand-migration plan is unique and will include specific interim steps and timelines.

Trade Advertising
- Because advertising is one of the most visible communications tools, we must be consistent in theme, tone, and graphic style. Our advertising is one of our most powerful and effective tools. Simple, bold headlines are engaging. The greatest legibility and impact for both the logo and the headline is achieved by using bright, airy global perspective. The clean white space is powerful, yet simple and allows maximum legibility. The Global Arc is a proprietary element that differentiates us from our competitors and engages our audience. The photography is bold, dramatic, sophisticated, aesthetically engaging, and differentiating.

Brand Imagery
- We’ve adopted a distinctive graphic device to be used in our communications – the “Global Arc.” We use it to structure our layouts and to help us integrate our photos. A distinctive feature of the Honeywell Graphic Language is the “Global Arc.” It has been created as a unifying graphic element that will be used across all of our communications. The “Global Arc,” a subtle, yet powerful graphic, reinforces our key attributes. First and foremost, the “Global Arc” represents Honeywell’s global perspective and unique vantage point. It appears both as a view of the curvature of the earth, as well as a long-reaching view over the horizon. Second, it gives all of the imagery we use a proprietary cropping. Over time, this unique look will instantly be recognizable as Honeywell’s. Use of the “Global Arc” is preferred and is used in most of our communications. Orientation is horizontal, never vertical. We place the Global Arc so that it bleeds off of the left and right margins. The images we place are always located above the Global Arc. Headlines and copy are located below the Global Arc.

Color Palette
- The Honeywell color system is comprised of three palettes – Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Honeywell Red is the color of our logo and our primary brand color. We also use it to identify high-level corporate communications. Two other colors – Total Black and Brilliant White – round out the primary palette.
- The Secondary palette is made of 2 colors consisting of Dark Gray and Light Gray. These colors are used as large solid areas and as information differentiation elements, as demonstrated in the examples on the following pages.
- The Tertiary palette consists of 5 colors. Deep Blue, Dark Green, Light Green, Bright Blue and Tan. These colors have a wide range for usage. For instance – blocks of color to differentiate content, as Headings and Subhead, bullets and graphical elements, charts, graphs and bullets. Overall they should be used as an accent color to enhance communication without diluting from our primary corporate palette.
- It is important to reproduce these colors accurately in our communications. PANTONE® and four color formulas have been provided here.
- For Honeywell Red use: PANTONE ® 485C c:0 m:95 y:100 k:0 web:#DE0031
- For Total Black use: c:0 m:0 y:0 k:100 web:#191A00

- Consistent use of color will help make our communications even more recognizable to our audiences.
- Building strong color equity for the Honeywell brand is critical to strengthening brand awareness.
- Overall they should be used as an accent color to enhance communication without diluting from our primary corporate palette.
- It is important to reproduce these colors accurately in our communications.
- Honeywell Red is the color of our logo and our primary brand color. We also use it to identify high-level corporate communications.
Typography
- To help us establish a consistent and credible brand style, a single family of typefaces has been chosen for most applications – Helvetica. It has been chosen because it is contemporary, simple and readable. For simplicity and ease of use, we only use select weights of Helvetica.
- For internal word-processed communications and presentations, such as PowerPoint, Arial, a system font may be substituted. No other typefaces, no matter how similar they appear, may be used.
- Font naming conventions may vary depending on the computer operating system (Macintosh or PC).
- Helvetica Light: Honest and easy to read, this weight is perfect for both body copy and large ad headlines.
- Helvetica Medium: When greater emphasis is desired in body copy, Medium is a good choice.
- Helvetica Bold: A bit heavier than Medium, upper & lower case Bold is ideally suited for headlines in our print collateral.
- HELVETICA LIGHT: Easy to read in small sizes, this weight is perfect for captions and secondary heads.
- HELVETICA MEDIUM: When greater emphasis is desired in text and captions, Medium All Caps is a good choice.
- HELVETICA BOLD: A bit heavier than Medium, all caps Bold is a good choice for subheads.
- For primary headlines, we use Helvetica Bold.
- When formatting body copy, take care to direct the reader’s attention to the most important information in the most logical order. The reader should sense structure immediately. Helvetica Light is the preferred typestyle for body copy and text. Three weights are permitted: Light, Medium and Bold. These typestyles were selected because they are contemporary classics and easy to read.
- Space permitting, we prefer open line spacing. It reinforces the strong horizontal flow of our communications. If space limitations pose a problem, Helvetica Light, Medium and Bold Condensed may be substituted.
- PRIMARY MESSAGING – Style of headlines: grounded
- SECONDARY MESSAGING – Style of subheads & captions: We are committed to creating products and services that improve safety, quality and comfort of human life.
- Do not use unauthorized typefaces.
- Do not use type on a curve.
- Do not distort type.
- Do not use special effects with type.
- Do not put type in perspective.
- In order for us to project a confident, credible and consistent appearance to our audiences, we must adhere to our communications standards. As part of this effort, we must maintain the typographic system we have established. There is plenty of flexibility in our guidelines for using typography. If used carefully and consistently, our typographic standards will make an important contribution to our branding efforts.
- Keep it simple. Never overload a style. Structure information so it flows. Maintain together these elements must work to communicate.
- Inside spread typography: Main Spread Headline (minimum of 30 pt.) Medium, 50 pt. Helvetica, size may vary with length of copy.
- Sub Headline: 9.5/15 pt. Helvetica Bold.
- Body Copy: 9/14 pt. Helvetica Light or 10/15 pt. Helvetica Light, size may vary with length of copy.
- Captions: Light pt. 8/9.5 Helvetica.
- Spread Main Headline: pt. (minimum of 30) Medium, 50 Helvetica, size may vary with length of copy.
- Sub Headline: pt. 9.5/15 Helvetica Bold.
- Body Copy: pt. 9/14 Helvetica Light or 10/15 Helvetica Light, size may vary with length of copy.
Logo Usage
- The Honeywell logotype is our company’s primary identifier. Regardless of where the logo is being used, there are only three approved ways to use the Honeywell logotype: Freestanding logotype, logotype in bar, and logotype with rule (see the Honeywell ID Standards for more information on logo usage: www.honeywell.com/brandm).
- For our current advertising campaign and our marketing literature, we use the freestanding logotype.
- The Honeywell logo should be reproduced in Honeywell Red. The logo may be reproduced in black in one-color materials only.
- A clear zone, also known as the control field, always must surround the freestanding logotype. No graphic elements of any kind should intrude into this field. The width and height of the control field is determined by a measure equal to the height of the capital H in any size of logotype used.

Tone And Messaging
- Our communications programs are one critical element of creating a consistent – and consistently positive – Honeywell brand experience. These guidelines have been created to make sure that you have the information and tools you need to create communications that support and build the Honeywell brand.
- These guidelines have been developed to ensure that Honeywell communications media (such as advertising, company literature, etc.) are consistent in theme, style and appearance. At the same time, our guidelines allow for great flexibility to meet specific market needs and promote creativity.
- Use of these Brand Guidelines and Honeywell’s Visual Identity Standards (found at www.honeywell.com/brandm) is mandatory for all organizations that do business under the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Honeywell people breathe life into our brand. Doing a superb job for our customers, each and every day, is the first pillar of Honeywell’s growth strategy. That philosophy also extends to other people and groups that are important to Honeywell’s success.
- Our actions speak louder than our communications. All the great ads and brochures we create can be undone by one employee who doesn’t keep our brand’s promise. The best way for employees to help build the value of the Honeywell brand is by understanding and supporting the Honeywell Initiatives, and living up to the ideals of the Honeywell Behaviors.
- Effective Communicator means providing timely and concise information to others, and using clear and thoughtful oral and written communications to influence, negotiate and collaborate effectively. Leaders and employees need to appreciate that effective communication is about listening and being listened to, but is not always about being in agreement.
- Great brands are not born – they’re built, one step at time. That’s why it’s important that we create a consistent experience for our customers and everyone else who interacts with Honeywell. We build our brand by keeping the promises made in our brand position – every time, everywhere, with every contact. It should be obvious to everyone that we are one company, applying our technology and expertise to build a world that is safer and more secure…more comfortable and energy efficient…more innovative and more productive.
- We’ve adopted a distinctive graphic device to be used in our communications – the “Global Arc.” We use it to structure our layouts and to help us integrate our photos.

Brand Values
- We are building a world that’s safer and more secure … More comfortable and energy efficient … More innovative and productive. We are Honeywell.
- This is the essence of today’s Honeywell … our brand promise.
- For more than a century, the Honeywell name has been synonymous with technology solutions that improve people’s lives. In these complicated times, more than ever before in our history, customers are turning to Honeywell to help solve many of the world’s most complex problems.
- Honeywell’s brand is really the product of many different factors that create an overall impression of our company in people’s minds. Our brand image is the way that people think, feel, and respond when they hear the word “Honeywell.” The brand has to stand for something and we (including our products and services) have to act and perform consistent with that image.
- Every Honeywell employee is a brand ambassador. With every customer contact and whenever we represent Honeywell, we have the opportunity either to strengthen the Honeywell brand or to cause it to lose some of its luster and prestige. Generations of Honeywell employees have built our powerful brands with their hard work, spirit of innovation, passion for quality, and commitment to customers. I am counting on every Honeywell employee to continue that legacy as we strive to keep our brand promise and build a better world.
- Honeywell is a global company with leading positions in many of the world’s most important and dynamic markets. Our customers include the top companies across many major industries. Honeywell technology makes people’s lives better in thousands of ways, everywhere you look. Our collective experience, spirit of innovation and in-depth customer understanding combine to create breakthrough solutions.
- But despite our size, scope, diversity and global reach, there are core threads that tie all of Honeywell together - across continents, business units, product types and industries. For example, everyone in Honeywell is united by a common set of Five Initiatives and 12 Behaviors, and a proven formula for success that is elegant in its simplicity: Customers + Technology = Performance.
- The Honeywell Brand also sets us apart from other companies. The Honeywell brand is shaped by the total experience people have when they interact with our company and see first-hand how our products and services perform. It is also defined by the way that people think, feel and respond on an emotional level when they hear our name. Our brand embodies what Honeywell is all about for the people who matter most to us – our employees, customers, potential customers, partners and suppliers, investors, and neighbors in the community.
- The essence of the Honeywell brand – our brand position – is captured in this idea: We are building a world that’s safer and more secure … More comfortable and energy efficient … More innovative and productive. We are Honeywell.
- This brand position represents the ideal image that Honeywell wants to create, communicate and reinforce through action, to all our audiences, across all our businesses, and in all our locations.
- Honeywell’s powerful brand is one of the company’s most valuable assets. Building and protecting the brand by adhering to our standards is everyone’s job.
- Honeywell people breathe life into our brand. Doing a superb job for our customers, each and every day, is the first pillar of Honeywell’s growth strategy. That philosophy also extends to other people and groups that are important to Honeywell’s success.
- Our actions speak louder than our communications. All the great ads and brochures we create can be undone by one employee who doesn’t keep our brand’s promise. The best way for employees to help build the value of the Honeywell brand is by understanding and supporting the Honeywell Initiatives, and living up to the ideals of the Honeywell Behaviors.
- Honeywell does not currently have an advertising/marketing slogan or themeline. We do not require that specific “boilerplate” copy reinforcing the company brand position be inserted into every communications vehicle. We do expect our Marketing Communicators copy to reflect the essence of our Brand Promise – a direct, clear, benefits-orientated approach to presenting the value of what we do.
- To the greatest extent possible, communications efforts and resources should be focused on materials that support our brand communications efforts. Subject matter for ads, literature and other communications should emphasize one or more of the ideas expressed in the positioning statements. Whenever possible, messaging consistent with the positioning statement should be included in the themes, headlines and copy of all communications materials.

Brand Architecture
- As part of an ongoing examination of Honeywell’s brand architecture, in 2004 the company adopted a modified master brand strategy. Almost all of the company’s business units, products and services are now branded “Honeywell.” Nearly all of the company’s businesses, products and services are branded with the well-known Honeywell Master Brand as their primary identifier.
- Within its master brand architecture, Honeywell supports a variety of sub-brands, product brands and services brands that are well-known identifiers in their respective markets. In all cases, these brands are secondary to the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Honeywell also supports a number of Honeywell Endorsed Brands and Honeywell Standalone Brands. These brands have excellent recognition, brand equity and value in their specific markets. These brands are supported and managed independently of the Honeywell Brand Management System and the Honeywell Visual Identity System. They have their own logos, brand colors and identity standards.
- In many cases, Endorsed Brand status is a step in the migration to the Honeywell Master Brand. Over a relatively short period of time (18-36 months), many of the current Endorsed Brands will evolve into product or service brands under the Honeywell Master Brand architecture. Those few that do not migrate will maintain their current form. Most Standalone Brands will retain their current status, but will be evaluated periodically for opportunities for closer alignment with the Honeywell Master Brand.
- Endorsed Brand and Standalone Brand status recognizes that each of these brands currently has value in its respective marketplace. Our overarching brand migration strategy is designed to transfer that existing value to the Honeywell Master Brand whenever practical. At the same time, by retaining the current brand name as a product or service brand, Honeywell can continue to capitalize on the brand equity that exists in the Endorsed Brand or Standalone Brand today.
- Business units responsible for the existing Endorsed Brands and Standalone Brands must develop a strategic brand plan that: • Takes into account such factors as customer relationships, marketing channels and channel conflicts, and transition costs; • Considers the use of one or more interim steps to evolve the brand identity from its current Endorsed Brand state, to its new status as a branded product or service under the Honeywell Master Brand architecture. Each interim step should build a progressively stronger link to the Honeywell Master Brand; • When complete migration is the appropriate path, use the smallest number of interim steps possible to make the transition, minimize cost and avoid confusion among customers, employees and other key audiences; • Includes an appropriate external and internal brand communications plan to support the migration. Depending on the brand and market, this plan should include public relations, internal communications and marketing communications elements.
- Brand migration strategies will be developed in consultation with the business unit communications leader and the Honeywell Brand Council. This migration philosophy and strategic process will also be followed for companies and brands acquired in the future. Brand migration should be considered by business units involved in merger and acquisition activities, as part of the due diligence and integration processes.
- The following brand logo migration examples are shown for illustrative purposes only. Each brand-migration plan is unique and will include specific interim steps and timelines.
