LG Lifes Good Signature & Tagline Interim Guidelines

Lifes Good LG Signature Elements


The Life's Good LG lockup was developed to express our brand personality in an engaging and friendly way. The elements of the lockup include: the LG symbol, the LG wordmark, and the Life's Good tagline. This lockup can be used on all communications and should appear in the configuration shown below. The spacing between elements has been specifically determined and should not be changed. The curve of the Life's Good tagline reinforces the shape of the 'G' in the symbol and also creates the appearance of a 'smile'. Consistent presentation of this lockup will help build awareness of the Life's Good tagline and the LG brand. These guidelines provide specifications for correctly implementing the lockup and illustrations on how to use it properly and mistakes to avoid.

Clearspace and minimum size


To ensure the prominence and legibility of the Lifes Good LG signature, always surround it with a minimum amount of clearspace. This isolates the signature from competing graphic elements, such as text, photography or background patterns, that may divert attention from the signature. As shown in the exhibit below, the clearspace for the signature is equal to 1/2 the height of the letter L in LG in whatever size the signature is reproduced. The signature can be used in a wide variety of sizes, but when it is sized too small, legibility is reduced and its impact is diminished. The minimum size is determined by the height of the signature. In printed material, it should not be reproduced smaller than 16mm in height.

Color Palette
The preferred colors for the LG signature are Red and Gray. The specific PANTONE numbers are listed in the table as are values for reproducing in four-color process (CMYK), RGB video, RGB web and web Hex. For 4-color printing, use the CMYK values as a beginning reference. Print vendors may have their own values and formulas for matching PANTONE colors in 4-color process, but the goal should always be to match the PANTONE standard of the LG colors. The PANTONE and CMYK values provided can be used when printing on either coated or uncoated paper; variations in color may occur, but try to match the LG colors as close as possible. For on-screen applications (Power Point, video and broadcast), refer to the RGB Video values specied. For Web applications, refer to the RGB Web/Hex values specied.
The colors shown throughout this manual have not been evaluated by Pantone, Inc., for accuracy and may not match the PANTONE Color Standards. Please refer to the current edition of the Pantone color formula guide. PANTONE is a registered trademark of Pantone, Inc.

Background Control
White is the most effective background on which to reproduce the full-color LG signature because it provides the colors with a clean, crisp contrast. If the signature is placed on a dark background or photograph and the full- color signature will be illegible, there are two options: the signature that reverses to white or the 2-color signature with the reverse wordmark. If the full-color signature appears on light backgrounds or photographs, there must always be sufficient contrast between the background or photograph and the signature colors.
