Each entity in the OpCos brand signature system comes
with an Axiata endorsement.
Each signature comes with the mandatory same consistent
wordmark and the usage of the prism.
All the OpCos brand signatures are designed to function
on their equity colours. A thin outline is necessary when the
prism’s colours clash with the background’s.
Always use the outlined version of the Axiata brand signature
when there is not enough contrast between the background
and the logo.
In order to create a flexible system for the OpCos brand signatures, three variations
are available for application.
The full colour version must be used whenever possible,
in all communications. The single colour and monotone
versions may be used in one-colour materials.
The colours and illustrations of the Prism for each variation is fixed and cannot be
altered. Always use the approved artwork for application.

Monotone version

Sub-brands and products can be locked up to the
brand in two dif ferent ways; horizontal and stacked.
Determine which to use based upon the space you are
designing within.
The preferred type style for the product and sub-brand
line is Axiata corporate set in lower case.
The ‘X’ measurement is based on the height for one triangle
in the Axiata prism symbol. The distance in between the
OpCos name and the product line should remain 75%
of the X-height.
For branding OpCos, especially acquisitions with strong equity in their own brand, the sub-brand with endorsement approach should be adopted. A standard endorsement line, “an axiata company,” has been created for this level of branding application.
The font colour of “an axiata company” should reflect the OpCo brand colour when it comes to white strip application
The OpCos are free to use either the white strip application or the full bleed application.

In extreme cases such as lamp post flags or wide web
banners the endorsement strip would become so small
that it would be to the detriment of the communications
to include it.
In these kind of examples it is better not to include the
endorsement at all, rather than damage the visual integrity
and reputation of the brand.
We have used Dialog and Linknet in these examples but the
same logical rule applies to all OpCos.
Guidance for the most widely used four formats of communications have been covered in this document. There will always be formats and irregular shapes that fall in between the examples shown, in which case, please use best judgement and the following rules of thumb.
The endorsement for motion should not use a white strip.
The OpCos brand signature appears on its own and then is
followed by the endorsement below.
We have used Dialog in this example but the same logical
rule applies to all OpCos.
The endorsement for an OpCos website should be placed
at the bottom – a white strip is not required. It should be the
OpCos with ‘an axiata company’ underneath.
We have used Dialog in this example but the same logical
rule applies to all OpCos.
The brand signatures become greyscale in a corporate communication that promotes Axiata to customers.
