Sam said it best.

Our purpose

“The feeling our customers have when they leave our stores determines how soon they’ll be back.”

01The same applies to our brand. Walmart is the friendly neighborhood store customers have come to trust and depend on. By creating consistent images that welcome and appeal, we ensure that customers will come back – again and again.

Introduction to our customer

We serve everyone.Our customers are not defined by demographics, but by their desire for value. And they depend on us to deliver that value to them, every day. They want to save money on life’s essentials, as well as on the things that make life special. What’s most important to them is convenience and low prices on quality products. Which makes that important to us as well.

Our signature has a unique logotype and is based on the Myriad typeface.

Signature elementsThere are two different Walmart signatures, horizontal and vertical. The horizontal signature is preferred; use it whenever possible. Don’t separate or rearrange the logotype and symbol.

Our symbol is a spark of inspiration and smart shopping that helps customers live better.

The sparkThe Spark as our icon. The spark appears most often as part of the lockup for the Walmart logo, however the spark can be used alone on certain occasions. See following pages for details.

Our signature

We’ve created a complete set of design guidelines to ensure consistency over just about every instance of customer contact. The core design elements are the essential visual elements of our brand – our logo, color palette, typography, imagery, and graphics.

Our refreshed visual identity celebrates The Spark as our icon. The Wordmark provides support where necessary.

A TradeSpark must be present in any singular experience (the whole screen, your view of the store, etc).

The TradeSpark is predominantly Spark Yellow. Walmart Blue or white may also be used based on context or contrast.

Do not rotate, distort or overlap the TradeSpark or any of the Walmart logos.

Lockups are available, including a single color version for limited print use. All logos are available with a circle R and without.

Circle R

When a logo or lockup is scaled below minimum size, use the alternate version without a circle R (see details for each mark).

When The TradeSpark and the Wordmark appear within the same activation, remove the circle R from The TradeSpark.

When using any logo/lockup in 3D or at very large scale (e.g., store front), remove the circle R.

Our refreshed visual identity celebrates The Spark as our icon. The Wordmark provides support where necessary.

A TradeSpark must be present in any singular experience (the whole screen, your view of the store, etc).

The TradeSpark is predominantly Spark Yellow. Walmart Blue or white may also be used based on context or contrast.

Do not rotate, distort or overlap the TradeSpark or any of the Walmart logos.

Lockups are available, including a single color version for limited print use. All logos are available with a circle R and without.

Lockups are available, including a single color version for limited printuse. All logos are available with acircle R and without.

All logos (The TradeSpark, wordmark and lockups) have a preferred version with a circle R.

A circle R is not used when the logos are so small that they become illegible. Use the alternate versions provided in the Walmart Toolkit. Check minimum sizes provided for guidance.

When The TradeSpark and the wordmark appear in the same activation (not as a lockup), only the wordmark should have a circle R.

When making a 3D logo, use a version without the circle R as it may be cost prohibitive to fabricate. At large scale (e.g., a truck), consider using a logo without the circle R to avoid distraction.

*Note: Logos and lockups without a circle R on this page are too small, making the registration mark illegible. The alternate versions have been used. Please refer to the Walmart Toolkit for all logo versions.

Ignite a visual culture

The SparkThere are three members of The Spark family—The Spark, The Half Spark, and The Sparklet.

The Spark either provides an emotional connection or plays a practical role—it should not be used as decoration. It is never passive; its energy infuses the brand experience with warmth and wit.

Integrating The Spark into real life envirownments puts our brand at the heart of the moment. Bold and confident usage will increase awareness.

Never use a circle R with The Spark when using it within a composition (e.g., the car wheel illustration).

The Spark can be formed with objects or fabricated in alternative materials/media. It may appear in any color as it responds to context and leverages illustration and/or photography. For guidance, refer to: Spark_Family/Footprint.ai

The Half Spark works with photography, illustration and iconography to provide an expressive connection to The Spark. The Half Spark primarily uses the Hero Palette and can be rotated to fit context.

The Spark informs our illustration style and iconography. Sparklets carry the DNA of The Spark. You can rotate, color and crop Sparklets.

Why blue? It suggests authority, dignity, security, stability, heritage, and trust. Blue also communicates image attributes such as “friendly,” “approachable,” “reliable,” and “trustworthy.” Darker blues convey “tradition” and “quality,” while brighter blues are used to convey “innovation” and “technology.” Blue can also signal “fresh” and combines well with other colors (green, orange, yellow).

When more contrast is needed or to create greater impact, Walmart Dark Blue can be used. Using Dark Blue instead of blackbetter connects to the brand.

Neighborhood Market Green is only used in relationship to our Neighborhood Markets and should not be used for any other communications.

Rollback Red is primarily used to communicate Rollback. It provides a strong accent to cut through the clutter.

Pickup Orange signifies omnichannel communications in stores and online. Be sure to create a balance between Pickup Orange and the Hero Color Palette.

FlexibilityIllustrationIllustrate the pointOur House illustration style brings warmth and a cheerful personality to communications. Illustration has the ability to communicate complex subjects.

Our illustration style is based on simple graphic shapes to allow for better cohesion with The Spark family. This is a flexible style dependent on context. It can range from structured and geometric to a more fluid, organic style. To tell the story, a variety of tone and detail can be explored. Use the Extended Hero Palette wherever possible to create this depth. Other colors may be considered depending on the context of the illustration.

The Spark The Half Spark

The Sparklet

Consider any tone of blue and yellow to convey depth and detail within illustrations. At least one color from the hero palette should make up 20% of the overall illustration.

Extended Hero Palette

Do not make illustrations overly complex and layered.

Do not be a slave to the hero palette (strawberries are red).

Do not use linework (this doesn’t reflect The Spark).

PhotographyLifestyle photography evokes an emotional response and tells a human story. It captures people, products and food in simple, real-life situations. We engage our audience by being inspirational yet attainable.

Find authentic ways to use our Hero Color Palette. To maintain authenticity, use subtle tones rather than corporate color washing. Lighting is always natural depending on context and surroundings. When casting, consider a variety of ages, genders and races.

Functional photography is used for practical needs to describe a product and/or category. These simple images are clipped with a grounding shadow. Images are captured on a clean white background; they may also be used on Walmart Blue or Spark Yellow.

FuntionalFunctional photography utilizes straight-on view of products— the same angle and plane shot on a simple background. Use an overhead angle for products that don’t stand upright.

Consider alternative angles to better describe unique product features.

Products are lit from the front and sides to highlight the product. We use simple grounding shadows which can be adjusted for your needs.

Products are shot together with simple overlapping grounding shadows. Playful assortment and arrangement adds humanity.

Do not tilt or distort extreme angles.

Do not add reflective surface.

Do not create complicated assortments.

Do not shoot similar products withinconsistent shadows.

Do not create floating objectswithout shadows.

Do not shoot similar products at different angles.

Do not layer images with differentangles and lighting.

Do not light product from the back casting shadow in front of product.

LifestyleConsider first-person angles to communicate human perspective.

Overhead angles help capture abundance in frame.

Create a focal point using depthof field.

Show products in use wherever possible to add humanity andenergy.

Consider placement of items to allow clearspace for messaging.

Use lived-in textures and props. Small spills and imperfections add authenticity.

Use natural lighting and settings wherever possible.

Consider cropping to simplify compositions.
