Introduction
Syngenta is an innovative and exciting company in the agribusiness industry. As employees, investors and opinion leaders encounter our brand every day, it is critical we ensure that each piece of collateral, electronic, printed and environmental, communicates the same message—the message of our brand.
In this section, guidelines for the basic elements of the Syngenta corporate identity are explained in detail. These guidelines aim to provide the necessary flexibility in design while ensuring the essential distinctive qualities of the Syngenta brand.
Inherent tradition - pioneering spiritThe Syngenta Wordmark represents and identifies the company—a solid foundation, and at the same time, vital and optimistic about the future. The use of the Syngenta Wordmark is precisely defined. Syngenta typography reflects the inherent tradition as well as the pioneering spirit of the company.
Uniform appearanceThe color palette together with the visual identity elements known as “Up-close and far-away”, serve to ensure a uniform appearance for the Syngenta brand in all communication.
Binding worldwideThese basic elements are fundamental and binding worldwide. Used correctly and implemented consistently, they allow the corporate identity to convey the essence of the Syngenta brand with a powerful impact, visually and emotionally.

WordmarkProtection zone & usage
Staging the WordmarkDominant graphic elements are aligned vertically with the base point of the “n” of the Wordmark, as illustrated. Asymmetrical positioning of the Wordmark is recommended within design applications to properly reflect the innovative spirit of the identity.
URL sign-off signature A special signature has been developed to incorporate the Syngenta URL (website address) into the Wordmark. This special-case signature is only to be used when it is critical to communicate the Syngenta URL. This signature should only be used as a sign-off element; either on the back of publications or at the footer of advertisement or similar design applications.Local Syngenta URLs can be used (example www.syngenta.de) but product-related or other URLs should not be used (example www.touchdown.com).
Website homepage useThis signature appears on the Syngenta home page (www.syngenta.com). This lockup has been developed to give an indication for the identity proportions when localizing your own country website.

Color paletteSyngenta system
A simplified color palette has been created with four distinct color pairs. Each pair has been chosen to enhance the identity and add a richness, boldness and feeling of modernity to the overall look and feel. Plants need air, water and light to thrive. The Syngenta color palette reflects this need and is practical for use across a variety of printed and digital media.
Wordmark Blue and GreenThe Wordmark blue and green should only be used for the Wordmark.
Plant green - solid and light tonePlants are essential to life and Plant green is a vital part of our visual system. These two shades of green have been selected to complement each other, grounding the system.
Sun orange - solid and light toneThe sun, its warmth and energy are evident in these two colors.They provide warmth to the palette.
Air blue - solid and light toneThis duo of blues represents air/sky and adds a refreshing brightness to the system.
Cloud whiteClarity and emphasis are enhanced by the use of white in the overall look and feel. Cloud white (Warm gray) is used as a complementary color to enhance white and also as watermark color for the Purpose icon.
Stone grayStone gray is best used for printed text but can be used as an additional graphic color. Text should always be Stone gray except for online applications and for internal documents where black is more legible.

Dear Mr. Samplename,
Re : The new Syngenta stationery program
Opere instituto fit equestre proelium in ea planitie, quam intermissam collitabus de tria milia passum in longitudinem patere supra demonstravimus. Summa vi taba utrisque contenditur. Laborantibus nostris Caesar Germanos summittit legionesque pro castris constituit, ne tiliqua coacervantur. Germani acrius usque ad munitiones sequuntur. Fit magna caedes: non te nulli relictis equis fossam transire et maceriam transcendere conantur. Paulum le legiones Caesar quas pro vallo constituerat promoveri perotiubet. Non minus qui intra munitiones eant pertur bantur Galli: veniri ad se confestim existimantes ad arma conclamant; nonnulli perterriti inte oppidum irrumpunt. Vercingetorix iubet portas claudi, ne castra nudentur. Multis intefectis, compluribus equis captis Germani sese recipiunt.
Vercingetorix, priusquam munitiones ab Romanis perficiantur, consilium capit omnem ab se equitatum noctu dimittere. Discedentibus mandat ut suam quisque eorum civitatem adeat om nesque qui per aetatem arma ferre possint ad bellum cogant. Sua in illos merita proponit obte staturque ut suae salutis rationem habeant neu se optime de communi libertate meritum in cruciatum hostibus dedant.

The Horizon line is an evolution of the bars of our previous visual system. It is the unifying line between the “Up-close and far-away” images or graphic spaces. It distinguishes our imagery from our competitors. When used at the bottom of the page, the Horizon line provides a solid foundation for a close up image.

Horizon lineThe Horizon line comprises of a thick and thin line. The proportion is based on a grid of 7 equal parts:- the thin top line equals 1/7th
- the thick line equals 6/7th
Horizon line placementThe placement grid for the Horizon line has been determined as 1/10th of the height of the page. There are only two possible placements:- 6/10th up from the base- at the bottom
The Horizon line can only be used horizontally.
Only the Syngenta wordmark or Purpose statement should appear in the Horizon line as per the specified lock up.
The Purpose icon and statement should not be used together.

Colored Horizon lines Colored Horizon lines are always composed using the darkest color for the thick line and the lightest color for the thin line. When used transparent over a photograph, the transparency is based on the darkness of the photograph—see the following pages for details.
Cloud white Horizon linesCloud white Horizon lines should be used in combination with the full color Syngenta Wordmark. Cloud white is used for the thick line, and the darkest color of the three combinations is used for the thin line. When used over a photograph, the transparency level is set based on the darkness of the photograph—see the following pages for details.

Applying a color over a photographTo obtain the best results, the following process should be applied:
1 Start with the original photograph2 Add a white layer between the photograph
and the colored Horizon line layer. The aim is to have a lighter image with slightly less contrast—see the following pages for examples3 The colors are applied over the
photograph. The colors should remain strong: the desired effect can be obtained by setting the color layer to “multiply” in Adobe® software—at present this effect cannot be achieved in any Quark Xpress® versions. The Horizon line should be created with Adobe® software and imported into your design file
Note: all transparency values should be adapted according to the contrast of the photograph and the overlaying color. Always seek advice from your designer or printer on how to best set the transparency level of the Horizon line over photographs.

1 The Horizon line is the graphic element that provides a clear graphic communication of the “Up-close and far-away” system
2 When placed at the bottom of a page it provides the foundation for an up-close image
3 & 4 The Horizon line can be used above or below solid color or white, with the Syngenta Wordmark 5 When used with Wordmark and Purpose icon lock up,
the Wordmark should always align with the starting point of the Purpose icon
Avoid placing text within the Horizon line. Page numbering is the only exception to this rule.

The top far-away photo represents the benefit and impact of the contribution Syngenta offers to address global agricultural challenges, growers needs and the enjoyment of the environment and healthy food.
The lower up-close photo demonstrates our deep understanding of plants and their potential to provide solutions for customers and for the world at large.
A matrix has been designed that clearly identifies in which combination Up-close and far-away photographs should be used.

The image decision matrix identifies six different variations of “Up-close and far-away” photographs to assist creating a variety of combinations.
Three far-away variants are possible:1 Sweeping landscape2 Distant landscape3 Up-close landscape
Three up-close variants are possible:4 Conventional up-close5 Unusual up-close6 Extreme up-close
The closest version of the far-away variants – 3 Up-close landscape can also be used as an up-close
image if used as a single image placement.

Each far-away photograph should be associated with the corresponding up-close photograph:
1 Sweeping landscape associated with 4 Conventional up-close
2 Distant landscape associated with 5 Unusual up-close
3 Up-close landscape associated with 6 Extreme up-close
In other words, associations that are too similar should be avoided. This will allow the audience to immediately see the connection between the two images.
The images must have a relation to one another. Do not use unrelated images together, i.e. two different crops.

The double image photo layout combines the up-close and the more distant far-away shots.
The images are brought together by the Horizon line as shown. The top photo must placed in the upper 4 parts of the page and the lower photo must be in the bottom 6 parts.
This placement is the same for landscape applications such as double page spreads.
Note: the lower photograph is always behind the transparent Horizon line.

Photos can also be used as a single image placement. The photo should always be an up-close image from the following photographic categories:- Up-close landscape- Conventional up-close- Unusual up-close- Extreme up-close
Three layouts are recommended with single images:
1 Single image at the top with a solid middle Horizon line and a solid color at the bottom
2 Single image at the bottom with a transparent white Horizon line
3 Full bleed image with a transparent Horizon line at the bottom of the page—this applies to full bleed cut-out images

Our Purpose statement is a proprietary element designed to specifically express our purpose.
A special handwritten style has been designed to give the Purpose statement more character making it a unique element while strengthening Syngenta ownership. The style used is not a formal typeface and should not be mimicked. The statement is provided as a graphic image and should no longer be used in the Berranger typeface.
The Purpose statement should only appear in English in its graphic form. It may be translated in copy.
The graphic image should not be incorporated in any form of copy. Within copy the statement should always be in the same type as the surrounding text, in lower case with a capital “B”.For example: “Our purpose is Bringing plant potential to life”.
The Purpose statement should only appear in two colors:
1 Dark Plant green over a white background or light image
2 White over a colored background or image

do not use any color—dark Plant green and white are the only two colors to use.

The Purpose statement should not be used as a product marketing tagline. Its usage should be carefully considered to ensure it is represented in context and with respect. The audience that sees the Purpose statement needs to see it in context so they may understand how Syngenta brings plant potential to life. For example, a trade show stand is “in context” as our people are there to explain it, where its use on a golf ball or cap may become meaningless.
Avoid using the Purpose statement on promotional items including clothing, accessories, and corporate gifts.The Purpose statement should not be added to email signatures.
Please contact Joya Horsley or Kirsty James regarding usage queries.

Dear Mr. Samplename,
Re : The new Syngenta stationery program
Opere instituto fit equestre proelium in ea planitie, quam intermissam collitabus de tria milia passum in longitudinem patere supra demonstravimus. Summa vi taba utrisque contenditur. Laborantibus nostris Caesar Germanos summittit legionesque pro castris constituit, ne tiliqua coacervantur. Germani acrius usque ad munitiones sequuntur. Fit magna caedes: non te nulli relictis equis fossam transire et maceriam transcendere conantur. Paulum le legiones Caesar quas pro vallo constituerat promoveri perotiubet. Non minus qui intra munitiones eant pertur bantur Galli: veniri ad se confestim existimantes ad arma conclamant; nonnulli perterriti inte oppidum irrumpunt. Vercingetorix iubet portas claudi, ne castra nudentur. Multis intefectis, compluribus equis captis Germani sese recipiunt.
Vercingetorix, priusquam munitiones ab Romanis perficiantur, consilium capit omnem ab se equitatum noctu dimittere. Discedentibus mandat ut suam quisque eorum civitatem adeat om nesque qui per aetatem arma ferre possint ad bellum cogant. Sua in illos merita proponit obte staturque ut suae salutis rationem habeant neu se optime de communi libertate meritum in cruciatum hostibus dedant.

A suite of fully pre-printed business cards have been created using the four color combinations and truncated purpose icon on the reverse of the card. The cards should be printed on a coated stock such as Magno Satin (also known as Hello Silk), weight 300g. To avoid rub off, the cards should have a water soluble varnish on both sides. We would like to encourage the use of all colors for the reverse of the business cards so that a particular color is not restricted to a particular part of the business.
We recommend that the cards are provided as a mixed set of 100 – containing 25 of each color. This can be achieved by the tumble printing method in which rows of different colors can be printed at the same time hence allowing the 4 colors to be produced. Please liaise with your printer to discuss the print options available to you.

Template DesignOne template design has been specifically created for use in PowerPoint® to ensure consistency throughout the business. The choices of elements within the template have been specifically chosen to reflect our message of understanding the language of plants. The image used is neutral enough to communicate universal subject matter.
CoverA product logo can be included but this should not be placed within the Horizon line and should respect the Wordmark and icon protection zone.
The template design should not be altered to include different colors from the palette or a different image in the top half. The Horizon line should be kept clear of titles, text and logos.
Portrait and landscape formatsPortrait and landscape formats have been created of this template. Please ensure you select the required format rather than change this within the page set up option otherwise the proportions will be distorted.

For internal slides, a customized Horizon line has been created to compliment the cover design. This Horizon line is for use within the PowerPoint® template only. The following information should be consistently applied on each slide. The color, the image and the position of the Wordmark within this Horizon line should not be altered.
Full color versionThe Horizon line at the bottom of the slide has been built into the master template and holds the following information that is consistent on each slide:1 Slide number - Arial Regular 10 pts, color: 100% white2 Presentation title - Arial Bold 10 pts, color: 100% white3 Date - Arial Regular 10 pts, color: 100% white4 Wordmark Syngenta, color: 100% white
The template is provided with embedded imagery, using a photograph that is neutral enough to communicate the Syngenta look and suitable for universal subject matter. Please do not change this.
Printer Friendly Horizon line The Horizon line in the printer friendly version is white with plant green text. The white text of the full color version automatically switches to plant green when the printer friendly version is selected. 1 Syngenta Wordmark in corporate identity colors
All presentations should be created and saved as the full color version and only the full color version should be projected on screen.

To ensure a clean layout, photographs should always appear as squares. The template allows for a maximum of 6 images on a slide. When the images are used, the size of the image can vary but the space between two photos should be respected.
Images are aligned to the right of Syngenta Wordmark or to the left of the text block. The placement creates an optical rectangle with the body copy that ensures a comfortable layout of the presentation slides.
Try to choose photographs that fit in the “Up-close and far-away” photographic system.

The positioning of the Horizon line, pictures, and Purpose icon follow the rules from the ‘Basic elements’ chapter.
Vertical formatsTitles should be left aligned, its placement should be the same with the title or without the Purpose icon:- vertically, the space from the left edge corresponds to five “n” from the Wordmark.- horizontally, the first line starts at 4/10th from the bottom. Title should not go below 2/10th from the bottom.A minimum clear space corresponding to an “n” from the Wordmark should be kept between the title and the Purpose icon.
Horizontal formatsThe title should be right aligned, its placement should be the same with or without the Purpose icon:- vertically, the title starts from the third of the page plus a space corresponding to an “n” from the Wordmark.- horizontally, the first line starts at 3/10th from the bottom. Title should not go below 2/10th from the bottom—very long titles should start at 4/10th from the bottom.
Avoid placing text within the Horizon line.

PublicationsInside page grid examples
Introduction/table of contentsThe opening pages can include the Horizon line at the bottom.
Photographs and texts can be positioned at 6/10th of the page and go down, leaving the top 4/10th free.
Inside pagesMain pictures should bleed to the edge of the pages, and follow the 6/4 grid. Smaller images and texts should keep a free border corresponding to 1/10th of the height of the page all around.
In this example, the middle Horizon line is not used on every page, but titles/texts/photographs are aligned with the 6/10th limit to symbolize it. Leaving the top 4/10th free as much as possible will increase the effect.
In all cases avoid placing text within the Horizon line. Page numbering is an exception to this rule.

Rules from the ‘Basic elements’ chapter apply to poster sizes and shapes.
The Horizon line can be placed at 1/10th or 6/10th from the bottom to ensure the best visibility of the Wordmark.
Both the Purpose statement and the Purpose icon can be used but not together.
Avoid placing text within the Horizon line.

Extreme wide formatsSpecific case
When designing for very wide applications such as billboards or double page strip advertisements, a different grid proportion is recommended. The Horizon line is 1/6th of the height of the execution to allow for a larger Wordmark. The rest of the rules from the ‘Basic elements’ chapter apply.
Single imagery is better suited to this format rather than the double - “Up-close and far-away” approach. This allows for a cleaner design with greater visual impact.

Bags
Bags are highly visible brand support items. Three layout examples have been developed, showing different visual identity layouts:
1 Middle Horizon line with “Up-close and far-away” photographs
2 Bottom Horizon line with up-close photographs
3 Middle Horizon line with up-close photographs and a solid block of color
Each bag uses one of the three color combinations—Plant green, Air blue, Sun orange. Vertical sides use the lightest color.
The recommended material is heavyweight paper.
Templates can be downloaded from the CI site for local production.

Banners are powerful branded items, ideal for use at events. Two types of vertical banner examples are included within this section: - Pull up banners
- Pull down banners
Pull up bannersPull up banners are positioned at or close to ground level. For optimum visibility, banners with the Horizon line at 6/10th placement are recommended.Three Horizon line variations are possible:1 Solid white with full color Wordmark2 Transparent color in one of the three main
color combinations from the palette—Plant green, Air blue, Sun orange—with white Wordmark3 Transparent white with corporate colored
Wordmark
To encourage clean design, we do not recommend the use of the Purpose icon in this narrow format, as it limits space for headlines.
Please note that only the visible area is taken into account for the placement grid.

SignageThis section refers to white signage using the full color Wordmark
Signage is one of the core elements of a company’s visual identity. It signals the company’s presence to the outside world and is seen by employees, neighbors and all those visiting a company site. In order to ensure recognition and familiarity, it is important for our signage to achieve maximum consistency on a global scale.
Syngenta uses a signage and orientation system that is based on natural human orientation patterns, that is modular and applicable for joint sites. The functionality of the system, is built on three principles:
- Orientation (where to go)- Direction (how to get there)- Identification (confirmation you have arrived in the right place)
The system offers a range of signs:- High-level (illuminated) orientation signs- Entrance signs for larger sites- Signposts- Building signs
Signs oriented to the outside world must show the Syngenta logo; once inside a Syngenta site, signs no longer need to show the logo. An exception to this rule is on joint sites, where building signs must show the logo.

Signposts
For Syngenta sites that are composed of several buildings, labs, etc., an entrance sign is used at the central accesspoints of these sites:
PlinthThe plinth is the standard sign, unless architectural or other reasons preclude its use. The plinth is available with orwithout illumination (from the base). It shows only the Syngenta logo.
PylonThe pylon identifies entrance and/or site. This information or any other descriptive text is applied vertically. A buildingidentification may be added horizontally. The pylon is available in two sizes, large and medium.
Welcome signIf a plinth cannot be used, a welcome sign or building sign may be used instead. The welcome sign may also be usedin combination with a plinth. If this is done, the welcome sign does not show the Syngenta logo. However, if the welcome signis used on its own, it must show the logo. In addition, a welcome sign at the entrance may show information(e.g. gate number) and carry the word reception in several languages.
