Introduction
Office Depot has developed this style guide to provide the standards for creating co-branded retail graphics. All co-branded graphics must follow these design guidelines and be approved in writing by the Office Depot Visual Merchandising department before production and shipment to stores.
Office Depot often has the opportunity to develop partnerships with strong product and service brands at retail, thereby increasing awareness and sales. Whenever graphics/displays are produced, it is important to follow these basic guidelines to promote both the partner brand and Office Depotthe retailer presenting the product to the consumerto ensure consistent delivery of the Office Depot brand. Please note that all retail graphics produced must be approved in writing by the Office Depot Visual Merchandising Department prior to print production. This is required of all permanent and promotional graphics and displays. Office Depot reserves the right to remove any unapproved graphics/displays from Office Depot stores. This is a living document and will be updated periodically to keep up with the changes in the retail channel. Upgrades are available via: Vendor Extranet Marketing Intranet Your Office Depot Merchant contact Your Office Depot Visual Merchandising Department contact All displays (permanent or promotional) must also be supported by in-store display instructions (also approved by Office Depot Visual Merchandising Department).

Corporate Signature
The Office Depot signature is a valuable and highly visible asset that we work to preserve and protect.
The Office Depot corporate signature should be included on all co-branded graphics. Single Line vs. Stacked Versions The single line version should be used whenever possible. The stacked version should be used when narrow width restricts the single line version to an illegible size on corrugate displays and other specific displays. Use of Color When using the corporate signature and tag line, use the red positive version on a white background whenever possible.
Protected Space Whenever possible, use more than the minimum amount of protected space around the signature. The minimum protected space is the area defined by the x-height of the uppercase D in DEPOT, as shown below.
Unacceptable Usage

The logo should always be positioned in the upper left corner, and then size of band and logo will be determined by the formula below, ba the trim or the live area. (Live area: Some projects may have channels or fr see standard graphic guidelines on page ___ ). The tallest height of the logo is 40% of the White band width. (If the band width is 1.5, the height of the O in Office, equals 40% of the bandwidth. (See example) The thickness of the Red rule is equal to 1 ellipses from lowercase i, and placed at the bottom of the bandwidth. Red rule should bleed left to right based on trim or live area. Distance between the bottom of the Red rule to the bottom of the logo is equal to 3 ellipses of the lowercase i. (See example) The O in Office should be no less than 2 O spaces from the left of the the trim or the live area. (See example)
Position the crop marks to fit your document, according to trim or live area. The variety of shapes and sizes should allow you to choose the closest approximate size you need then enlarge or reduce as necessary and still fit within the guidelines. If you dont see a similar size, please contact your Visual Merchandising Project Manager. Always make sure the Red rule is extended to bleed from left to right.

White
The consistent use of color is a major factor in recognition and memorability for Office Depot. Moreover, particular colors tend to evoke particular responses, which can help to support the values associated with Office Depot. The colors have been carefully selected to represent Office Depot. This highly recognizable palette will become associated with our brand when used consistently over time. Whenever possible, white should be used as a prominent color in all applications, with red being used in the corporate signature.
The colors shown on this page and throughout this guide have not been evaluated by PANTONE, Inc. for accuracy and may not match the PANTONE color standards.

Secondary Palette
Color System
The secondary palette is used to support the primary palette. Secondary colors can be used to identify and differentiate all marketing. However, they should never overpower the primary palette in any campaign or design.
Use secondary colors to emphasize important information, products and prices. They can be used to add color and provide differentiating backgrounds to design year-round, particularly outside of seasonal campaign windows.

The Round Corner Rule is used to give a distinctive look to the organization of elements in communication materials. It allows applications with many diverse elements to be organized into a clean, simple structure that is also unique and memorable. The round corner rule is another element of the Office Depot brand. The rule is a functional element used for organizing complex information. It also has a unique and recognizable character. The Round
Corner Rule is a graphical element that can be printed on square-cut collateral and signage. It is not always mandatory to die cut materials to round the corners. The rule can be used either as a fully enclosed box (Example 1) or with the side open (Examples 2 and 3) and can be square or rectangular in shape. The rule can also be filled with color and contain text or images. When using this technique, be mindful that excessive amounts of highlighting can distract the eye as opposed to directing it,
so be discriminating and limit the number of items highlighted to those messages and items that need most attention. Color for rule: While yellow is the preferred option, other colors may be used as directed by Office Depot Visual Merchandising.
Weights of the rules should be consistently applied: for regular use, a 0.5 pt. black rule (Example 2) for greater emphasis, use a 6 pt. yellow rule (Example 3)

Silhouetted product photography is used throughout advertising, marketing materials and in store to display the vast array of products and supplies we bring to our customers. These photos should include interesting angles, reflections and shadows. The shadows should be reflective and visually anchor product.

Standard Graphics
Examples of various layout formats should provide a guideline to signs that identify brand, product attributes and promotional offers, as well as information. Office Depot should drive the design and production so that the graphics created have continuity with other Office Depot retail communications.
Partner name and logo should be treated within their brand guidelines with the overall impact supportive of Office Depot. When materials are created for these purposes, the prominence of the Office Depot logo should be at least proportionate to the partners logo. When possible, the Office Depot logo should be larger and more prominent than all other partner logos. Horizontal Formats Vertical Formats
