Branding Guidelines – Product Development Design Standards

(back to Brand Guidelines)

The following information is a quick reference to existing product elements. Our product development team should consider these solutions for branding options, labels, print material assets, and storage to ensure consistency from one product to the next. Whenever possible, these solutions should be used, but each new product is not limited to fit within these suggestions.

Product branding guidelines:

All products will be branded with the following items:

  1. Realityworks full/primary logo
  2. Product name (see product type and branding options below for examples)

Branding Options:

  1. Primary Realityworks Logo
    – Whenever possible the primary logo should be used.
    – See additional branding guidelines <here>.
    – Controlled logo files accessible upon request:
    1069511-01 Realityworks Logo (2-color, black or white options)
    1069512-01 Realityworks Web Address Logo (2-color, black or white options)
    Realityworks Logo Spacing
  2. Secondary Realityworks Logo (the Realityworks Rising Star)
    Intended to be used in product molding to help secure our design intellectual property.
    – Used if the scale is too small to clearly display the primary logo.
    – Used if the product material requires a simple/straight forward mark for visual clarity.
    – Controlled files accessible upon request:
    1069382-01 Secondary Realityworks Logo (black or white options)

    NOTE: This graphic (the Realityworks Rising Star) was created using key elements of the primary Realityworks logo. The secondary logo should always be paired with the Primary Realityworks Logo whenever possible (somewhere on the product, accessories or accompanying printed materials) to help our customers understand this new branding option.
