Consistent Visual Branding Requires Consistent Usage
To achieve consistent visual branding throughout all corporate communications and promotional materials, as well as across multiple media, we have established a corporate identity standard to aid you as you create these new materials.
This standards manual provides guidelines for proper branding and includes design and color systems. When using the Arora ATLAS ® corporate identity for any internal or external forms of communication, either for print or electronic media, follow the guidelines as specified in this document.
Why Are the Guidelines Important?
Brand guidelines assist the internal Arora ATLAS® team and outside vendors in maintaining the integrity of the established design system and the overall brand.
These guidelines illustrate established design rules and are instrumental in maintaining brand consistency across all materials through which the Arora ATLAS® prospective and current clients, employees, industry partners, media and other stakeholders experience the brand.

Word Marks
Word Marks were created for each of the ATLAS Modules. Their intended use is for instances where the overall Arora ATLAS® product is promoted, and encompasses all 6 modules. Do not use these alone–they should appear only when the ATLAS logo with the tagline appears somewhere in the document, web page, or video. Here is an example of how they can be used as a grouping at the end of a video or back page of a document:
Color Word Marks for use on white or light colored backgrounds

Logo Clearance
When using the Arora ATLAS® logo in conjunction with other elements such as other logos, text and graphics, keep these other elements a minimum distance from the logo equivalent to the height of the capital letters of the word ARORA. Additionally, logos should be kept at a minimum of 3/8” from the edge of a page, screen, etc.
When using Arora ATLAS® Connect, Arora ATLAS® Fix, Arora ATLAS® Insights, Arora ATLAS® Inspect, Arora ATLAS® Request, or Arora ATLAS® Supply logos in conjunction with other elements such as other logos, text and graphics, keep these other elements a minimum distance from the logo equivalent to the 75% of the height of the capital letters of the word ATLAS. In instances where the product short name (i.e. Fix, Inspect, and Supply) is shorter than the word ATLAS, the registered trademark symbol should not be included in the 75% clearance equation. Logos should also be kept at a minimum of 3/8” from the edge of a page, screen, etc.

General Trademark and Formatting notes
Per our trademark, “ATLAS” should not be used alone unless somewhere in the document or image is it preceded by Arora, clearly defining it as “Arora ATLAS®.” Subsequent references within the same document or image may shorten the reference to ATLAS alone.
When the full product name, Arora ATLAS®, is used ATLAS should be in all CAPS followed by a superscript registered trademark symbol, and Arora with Capital “A” should precede it. If using the shortened name ATLAS is used, it should be all caps.
Similarly, when referencing any of the Arora ATLAS® modules, ATLAS should be in all CAPS and followed by a superscript registered trademark symbol, and Arora with Capital “A” should precede it, when written in text, followed by the module name with the first letter capitalized (i.e. Arora ATLAS® Connect, Arora ATLAS® Fix, Arora ATLAS® Insights, Arora ATLAS® Inspect, Arora ATLAS® Request, and/or Arora ATLAS® Supply).
Subsequent references within the same document or image may shorten the reference to ATLAS Connect, ATLAS Fix, ATLAS Insights, ATLAS Inspect, ATLAS Request and/or ATLAS Supply. In these instances ATLAS should be in all CAPS followed by the module name with the first letter capitalized. No registered trademark should be used with these shortened references, and a module should never be referred to in writing without ATLAS preceding it (i.e. Connect, Fix, Insights, Inspect, Request, Supply).
Color Palette
Due to the nature of the product(s), the Arora ATLAS® logos have been designed first and foremost for digital reproduction, and do not currently exist in Pantone (PMS) format. Should the need for PMS versions arise, contact the marketing department. The logo color breakdowns are as follows:
CMYK C86 M52 Y4 K0
RGB R35 G114 B179
HEX #2372b3
CMYK C66 M59 Y60 K45

Never distort, condense, stretch, or alter the typeface in any way.

Graphic Elements
Texture / Pattern
A key element of the Arora ATLAS® brand is the Halftone Dots Background shown below overlaid on ATLAS blue, gold, and gray at 15% opacity. This texture / pattern can be used over solid colored backgrounds (A-C), gradient colored backgrounds (D), or over photo backgrounds (E). When using the texture with type, make sure that the type is in the foreground and readable (F).

Photography / Images
ATLAS should be well represented through the use of high-quality photos combined with high resolution product screen captures. Subjects should be relevant to content and intended audience. Our marketing team can work with you to provide appropriate images as needed. Contact marketing@ aroraengineers.com with photo requests. Below is a small sampling of the type of images that we currently have available, but specific images can be created and provided images as needed.
Arora ATLAS® Style Guide 16
Icons
Because it can be challenging to find imagery relevant to content at times, the use of icons in ATLAS promotional materials is encouraged. The look and feel of icons can vary based upon the examples (A) thin line icons, and (B) solid fill icons shown below, however, the look and feel should remain consistent and not be mixed within one piece. For example, use either style A or B rather than style A and B together. The preferred color scheme for icons is an ATLAS blue background (CMYK C86 M52 Y4 K0; RGB R35 G114 B179; HEX #2372b3) with the icon in white.
E-blasts
A Mailchimp template named “ATLAS Template” in the saved templates folder of the Arora Mailchimp account should be used for e-blasts.

PowerPoint
PowerPoint templates and standard presentations are available for staff on Sharepoint. Externally, send a request to marketing@aroraengineers.com.
Video
Videos should uphold brand standards and utilize the same color scheme, fonts, and look and feel. The opening scene is typically a spinning logo reveal. The texture / pattern over a solid colored background (ATLAS blue, gray, or gold) may be used for section breaks. Titles should be easy to read and can run across the bottom or side of the screen depending on what works best with the accompanying clip. All videos should end with the Arora ATLAS® logo along with the Wordmarks for the module(s) and a call to action. Click here for examples of videos.
