("Gateway") in advertisements, marketing materials, press releases, promotional literature, catalogs, brochures, customer communications, electronic communications and all other printed or visual material in which Gateway's trademarks, service marks or logos are used. For purposes herein, "Trademarks" shall mean those registered or unregistered trademarks, service marks, logos or brand names of Gateway as specifically set forth in the attached Schedule A. Gateway's Trademarks must always be used properly. Compliance with these guidelines is required in order to avoid any breach or misuse of the terms and conditions under which you have been authorized or licensed to use Gateway's Trademarks. Prior to using Gateway's Trademarks, you must obtain Gateway's written approval, of the form, content and context of any intended use. Adherence to these guidelines is essential to your continued involvement in the Gateway Authorized Reseller program and a prerequisite to successful involvement in any Gateway Authorized Reseller co-operative advertising programs. Please copy and distribute these guidelines to anyone within your organization who will be responsible for preparing marketing and/or advertising materials featuring Gateway products and the Gateway Authorized Reseller name or logo. I. GATEWAY AUTHORIZED RESELLER LOGO SPECIFICATIONS A. GENERAL 1. The logotype should not be produced in any color other than Gateway green. It can also be black or white in a black-and-white application or on a colored field in which green is not effective. The goal is to make green synonymous with Gateway; therefore these uses should be limited. 2. The bottom, front corner of the box is supposed to be open - don't try to close up. It is already defined. 55 Gateway Confidential 3. The white in the box is opaque - the underlying background SHOULD NOT show through. 4. The Gateway Authorized Reseller logo is a trademark of the corporation, and must always be followed by a mark. Authorized artwork always includes the mark in the proper position. The mark should never be cut off or changed in proportion or position. 5. When printing the logo on a dark background, use the correct artwork with the white box outlines, or the box will lose its definition. NEVER reverse the logo in the traditional manner - the black spots must remain black, the white areas white. 6. The Gateway logotype may not be used by itself without the box except in rare occasions approved by Branding. The most notable exception is on our packaging. B. LOGO CLEAR SPACE In all applications, the clear space around the logo should be equal to the width of the "e" in the logotype. Any background inside this clear space should be even, unpatterned, and free from typography or other graphic elements. If the logo is used directly on a photographic image, the clear space area must still provide for good contrast between background and logo and be even in tone and pattern-free. If the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo is used at a minimum size (43 pixels wide) in an online application, the clear space is 7 pixels (HSPACE = "7" VSPACE = "7"). C. MINIMUM SIZE Size is measured from the left side of the "G" to the right edge of the serif of the "y." - Minimum size in most print environments: 14.5mm or 5/8" wide - Minimum size online: 43 pixels wide (640 x 480) D. INCORRECT USAGE Improper use of the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo dilutes and lessens its value. Here are a few ways in which part or all of the logo have been manipulated to create new inappropriate/unacceptable visual elements. Each of these examples weakens the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo. 56 Gateway Confidential 1. DON'T alter box & logotype relationship. 2. DON'T change color of box & logotype. 3. DON'T combine with other graphic elements. 4. DON'T add text such as department name, team, etc. 5. DON'T put the logo on a patterned or busy background. 6. DON'T make pattern, texture or other effect inside the logo. 7. DON'T use the logo to create a pattern or background. 8. DON'T change the grammar of the logo - making it plural or possessive. 9. DON'T overprint on the logo. 10. DON'T imitate the logo with other type fonts. 11. DON'T distort the logo. 12. DON'T tilt or rotate the logo. E. COLOR APPROVED COLOR for the Gateway logotype: - Gateway Green - visually match hue to Gateway Green color swatch OTHER TECHNIQUES - DO NOT print the logo in grayscale. - SPECIAL EFFECTS - embossment, varnishes, drop shadows, texture maps, outlines, etc., must be reviewed and approved by Brand Management on a case-by-case basis. - NON-GREEN LOGOTYPE - although you should avoid using a background or layout that will not work with the green logotype, it is acceptable to print the Gateway logotype in white if on a high-contrast background (50% or darker), or in black (100% solid). GATEWAY GREEN IS APPROVED ONLY: - For the logotype - As an accent color (avoid overdoing it with big fields of green) - As a "staff" color to designate people who need to be identified at a glance as Gateway workers. For example, Security is authorized to use green shirts for security officers worldwide. 57 Gateway Confidential GATEWAY GREEN Due to the variances inherent in color reproduction, ALWAYS MATCH THE HUE TO THE GATEWAY GREEN COLOR SWATCH FOR ACCURACY. DO NOT rely on your existing color swatch book for accuracy. - For four (4) color process printing, use the following CMYK mixture CYAN - 100% MAGENTA - 0% YELLOW - 90% BLACK - 0% FOR SPOT COLOR PRINTING, USE THE PANTONE COLOR MATCH SYSTEM PMS 355C - For on-screen / video display, use the following RGB values RED - 0 GREEN - 153 BLUE - 20 - For online applications, use the following HTML color assignment 009900 - For stock vinyl applications, use the following 3M products 3M Scotchcal 230 (translucent) or 220 (opaque) IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONVERT THE PMS355 INTO CMYK VALUES - IN DOING SO, THE INCORRECT CMYK VALUES WILL RESULT. F. IMPLIED OWNERSHIP Any material containing Gateway's trademarks, including the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo, created by Licensee under terms of a license agreement shall not look like it was generated by Gateway. Accordingly, any use of the Gateway Authorized logo in any promotional materials shall always be equal to or less than the size and prominence of the Licensee's logo. SHOULD LICENSEE'S LOGO ---------------------- NOT APPEAR IN THE MATERIAL, THEN GATEWAY'S STYLIZED LOGO SHALL SIMILARLY NOT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APPEAR IN THE MATERIAL. -------------------------- II: GENERAL USE OF THE GATEWAY AUTHORIZED RESELLER NAME AND LOGO A. PRINTED PRODUCT ADVERTISEMENTS Any print ads featuring Gateway products must include a copy of the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo. This should be the only Gateway corporate logo to 58 Gateway Confidential appear in the advertisement. If only Gateway products are featured in the ad, the logo may appear anywhere in the ad. If, however, products from other manufacturers are featured in the ad, the Gateway logo must only appear in close proximity to the Gateway products. Alternately, all manufacturers' logos may be grouped together at the bottom of the advertisement, provided that any Gateway product is clearly identified as such. In all cases, the size of the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo should be consistent with the size of other manufacturers' logos. B. PRINTED SERVICE ADVERTISEMENTS If the ad focuses primarily on the services of the reseller, the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo may be featured either alone or grouped with the logos of all other manufacturers featured in the ad. In all cases the size of the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo should be consistent with the size of other manufacturers' logos. C. SHOW DIRECTORIES/INTERNET LINKS AND DIRECTORIES In cases where the reseller is asked to provide a brief description of their services and certifications, the reseller may use the Gateway Authorized Reseller name without the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo. If, however, other manufacturers' logos are featured in the reseller description, the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo must also be featured at a size that is consistent with the size of other manufacturers' logos. D. PRINTED MARKETING MATERIALS If the reseller's marketing materials allude to the reseller's status as an authorized Gateway reseller, the materials must feature the Gateway Authorized Reseller logo in a prominent location. E. RESELLER WEB SITE USAGE If actual Gateway products are advertised on the reseller's web site, the reseller should follow the same guidelines that apply to Printed Product Advertisements (Section II: A). If only services are mentioned, the reseller should follow the guidelines that apply to Printed Service Advertisements (Section II: B) 59 Gateway Confidential F. INTERNET/ON-LINE ADVERTISEMENT USAGE If actual Gateway products are advertised, the reseller should follow the same guidelines that apply to Printed Product Advertisements (Section II: A). If only services are advertised, the reseller should follow the guidelines that apply to Printed Service Advertisements (Section II: B). If the advertisement is limited to a text link or a text description, resellers may follow the guidelines for Show Directories/Internet Links and Directories (Section II: C). G. TELEVISION/OTHER USAGE All other usage, including broadcast use and cable advertisements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Prior review by the Gateway Partners Creative Services Director is a requirement of all such advertising. III: TRADEMARK USE Gateway Inc.'s trademarks, which include our logos, are intellectual property and are considered valuable assets of the company. To protect them, they must be used consistently and in compliance with branding guidelines. Everyone who uses our trademarks, whether Gateway employees or outside vendors, consultants or third parties, is responsible for using them correctly. A. TRADE NAME VS. TRADEMARK: A TRADE NAME identifies the name of a business, and is typically used as a noun. TRADEMARKS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED AS ADJECTIVES with an appropriate noun (generic descriptor) representing the product or service being referred to. If the word identifies a service it is technically called a service mark identical in form and substance to a trademark. Gateway has meaning as a trademark when used as an adjective to describe certain products, and has a different meaning when used as a noun to stand for the entity Gateway. CORRECT: Gateway makes the best computers on the planet. (Refers to the company itself.) CORRECT: Gateway computers are the best on the planet. (Gateway describes a product.) 60 Gateway Confidential WRONG: How many Gateways do you own? (Gateway is used as a noun when referring to a product.) WRONG: Come to Gateway for the best value in the industry. (Doesn't need a because Gateway refers to the company, not a product.) B. NO PLURALS, POSSESSIVES OR VERBS: Trademarks should never be used in the plural form, possessive form, or as a verb. CORRECT: People love their Solo portable PCs. INCORRECT: People love their Solos. CORRECT: The Destination system's performance is superior. INCORRECT: The Destination's performance is superior. CORRECT: You can fax documents using the TelePath fax modem. INCORRECT: You can TelePath documents with your system. C. NO ABBREVIATIONS: Never abbreviate a Trademark, e.g. "GC" is incorrect for Gateway Country. CORRECT: The Gateway Profile II is the best computer on the market. INCORRECT: The GP II is the best computer on the market D. DISTINGUISH THE TRADEMARKS: Always distinguish the Trademarks, when in print, from the words surrounding it. CORRECT: You get the best value when you purchase a Gateway computer. YOU GET THE BEST VALUE WHEN YOU PURCHASE A gateway PC. You Get The Best Value When You Purchase A GATEWAY Computer. INCORRECT: You get the best value when you purchase a gateway computer. YOU GET THE BEST VALUE WHEN YOU PURCHASE A GATEWAY PC. You Get The Best Value When You Purchase A Gateway Computer. 61 Gateway Confidential E. TRADEMARK NOTICE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT ALWAYS PROVIDE A SPECIFIC TRADEMARK NOTICE ((TM), SM, OR (R)) ADJACENT TO THE FIRST AND MOST PROMINENT USE OF THE TRADEMARK, AS WELL AS ON EACH SUBSEQUENT PAGE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE APPROPRIATE TRADEMARK NOTICE IS, CONTACT GATEWAY'S BRANDING DEPARTMENT. ALL GATEWAY TRADEMARKS THAT ARE USED IN A PARTICULAR PIECE MUST BE ATTRIBUTED IN AN APPROPRIATE TRADEMARK LEGEND. THE LEGEND MAY BE PRESENTED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE COPYRIGHT NOTICE AND MUST BE LARGE ENOUGH TO BE LEGIBLE.
