Why brand standards?

Our values

Our brand is more than a logo or color palette — it’s how we think, how we communicate, and how we interact with clients and one another. These behaviors, consistently expressed through visual and verbal cues, shape our personality and reputation. Clear, consistently applied brand standards distinguish Honigman in a crowded marketplace. They reinforce our leadership, build trust, and create a cohesive identity across all touchpoints.

Entrepreneurial

What it means A strong brand identity is not made from a single element. It is the deliberate and repeated use of type, color, imagery, language, and tone — unified and consistent — that forms a lasting impression with clients, colleagues, and the broader market. This guide provides detailed direction on how to use Honigman’s visual brand assets with accuracy and intention. It is both a reference and a tool to help you bring the brand to life in every communication. Need help? While this document covers core standards, it may not address every scenario. For questions about applying the Honigman brand identity, please contact Krista Hill, Senior Designer at khill@honigman.com.

Honigman LLP

Honigman was founded in 1948 by Jason Honigman, a Russian immigrant, and Milton (Jack) J. Miller, originally from Baltimore. Alan E. Schwartz joined the firm in 1952, followed by Irwin Cohn in 1961, completing the partnership known as Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP. While the founders were widely respected for their legal intellect, they were equally known for their understanding of clients’ industries and business goals, an approach that shaped the firm’s reputation for practical, businessfocused counsel.

From its earliest days, Honigman has operated from Detroit’s First National Building (at right), where the firm remains headquartered today. Over the decades, the firm has continued to grow strategically. In 2015, Honigman combined with Schopf & Weiss, a Chicago-based litigation firm, establishing its Chicago office. In 2020, the firm expanded east with the opening of its Washington, D.C. office, and it later established a presence in Israel through Honigman Law Israel. Today, Honigman includes more than 350 attorneys and 350 business professionals practicing in over 60 areas of business law. The firm serves clients locally, nationally, and internationally from its Michigan offices in Detroit, Bloomfield Hills, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids, its Chicago office, its Washington, D.C. office, and its office in Israel. Honigman’s attorneys continue to receive high recognition from clients, peers, and leading industry publications, reflecting the firm’s long-standing commitment to exceptional counsel and client-focused service.

Together, the visual and verbal elements create a cohesive identity that supports consistency across all touchpoints. This page provides a set of starting points, core messages, firm pillars, and key points, to help you describe the firm with clarity and confidence.

Logo

The Honigman logo is most important element of our brand identity. As the firm’s primary mark of the Honigman superbrand, it represents who we are and reflects the continuity, reputation, and professionalism that clients have come to expect from the firm. There is one approved logo, and using it consistently helps ensure that every communication feels connected across Honigman. The logo is the cornerstone of that visual identity, and its consistent application, coupled with the color palette and selected type styles, gives clients a memorable impression of our firm. Inconsistent or incorrect application of the visual identity creates confusion in the client’s mind. Logo artwork Use only provided logo. Do not create artwork for logo by typing text. Do not stretch or otherwise manipulate logo proportions. Do not change logo colors. Logo clear space A minimum clear space equal to the height of the Honigman logo must be maintained on all sides of the logo for optimal visibility and impact. Do not place type or images in the clear space. Use the distance between the top and bottom rules in the logo as a guide to determine proportional clear space, as demonstrated.

Color Honigman’s color system is designed to reflect the strength, clarity, and modernity of the firm’s brand. The primary palette—anchored by Dark Blue and Light Blue—serves as the foundation for core communications and brand recognition. Black and White provide essential structure and contrast, ensuring legibility and balance across all media. The secondary grayscale palette supports layout flexibility, allowing for depth, hierarchy, and subtle emphasis without competing with core brand colors. These tones are especially useful in charts, diagrams, and background treatments. The tertiary colors offer accent options that bring energy, diversity, and differentiation to the brand when needed—particularly in infographics, digital interfaces, and industry-specific materials. These should be used strategically and sparingly to maintain visual cohesion and brand integrity. For best results, apply colors consistently and in accordance with the hierarchy outlined here, using CMYK for print and RGB or Hex for digital applications.

Color Tint values

Tint values provide designers with a range of tonal variations derived from Honigman’s core brand colors. These lighter tints (10%–90%) help introduce visual flexibility while maintaining brand consistency. Tints can be used to: Create visual hierarchy and depth in layouts

When applying tints, always start with primary and secondary colors to preserve the integrity of the brand. Tints should not be used to create new, unofficial colors. Ensure that accessibility and contrast standards are maintained—especially for body text or essential information layered over tinted backgrounds. For consistency, apply tint percentages through defined color styles in design software (e.g., Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Figma), rather than manually adjusting opacity or mixing with white.

Define background panels or overlays without overwhelming content Distinguish content sections or infographics using a monochromatic approach Add visual interest while avoiding unnecessary use of tertiary or accent colors

Typography

Helvetica Neue Pro Fonts were chosen to embody practicality, accessibility and business-focus, and sophistication. We are communicating to our clients and institutions who want clear facts, transparency, precision, and accuracy. Not only will the words we use reflect our message, but so too will their appearance. The typography is clear and readable, focusing attention on the content. The Linotype® Helvetica Neue Pro typeface is simple and timeless. Whenever possible use Linotype® Helvetica Neue, but when it is not available, use the TrueType versions of Arial. Our primary fonts for all client-facing materials is the Helvetica Neue Pro family. These fonts are used for all client communications. Our primary font for email correspondence and Microsoft® documents that will be shared between users on other systems/machines is Arial. A primary example would be a contract or other legal document.

Developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann.

Licensed by Linotype and renamed Helvetica in 1960, which in Latin means “Swiss,” capitalizing on Switzerland’s reputation as the center of modern graphic design.

Josef Müller-Brockmann, a key advocate of grid systems, helped cement Helvetica’s role through his teaching and book Grid Systems in Graphic Design. The typeface’s clarity and neutrality reinforced the grid’s goal: functional, legible design.

The digitization. Linotype’s design studio updates and redraws the entire Neue Helvetica family to unify weights, widths, and spacing for digital machines. This version improved legibility and consistency and created a cohesive family.

Typography

Text alignment: flush left, ragged right (no justification)

Honigman’s brand standard for running body text is flush left with a ragged right edge. We do not use justified text in marketing, digital, or editorial materials. Why we avoid justified text Readability first Flush-left alignment supports a natural reading rhythm. Justified text can create uneven word spacing (“rivers of white space”), making paragraphs harder to scan— especially on digital platforms. Visual consistency Ragged-right text maintains consistent letter- and wordspacing across lines, preserving the intended typographic color and hierarchy in both print and digital layouts. Brand tone Left-aligned text feels more modern and less formal. Justified text can feel rigid or outdated—especially when not typeset with advanced controls like hyphenation and fine tracking. Digital accessibility In responsive formats (e.g., web, email, mobile), justified alignment often causes spacing issues and awkward breaks. Flush-left text is more adaptable and accessible across screen sizes and devices. Editorial clarity With flush-left formatting, line breaks are more intuitive and punctuation stands out more clearly—supporting clearer communication in dense or technical content.

NO

Flush-left alignment supports a natural reading rhythm. Justified text can create uneven word spacing (“rivers of white space”), making paragraphs harder to scan—especially on digital platforms. Ragged-right text maintains consistent letter- and word-spacing across lines, preserving the intended typographic color and hierarchy in both print and digital layouts.

When long running text is justified, rivers of white space make copy difficult to read, especially for those with conditions such as dyslexia.

Capitalization style

Initial caps only for proper nouns and names (sentence case) Our brand uses sentence case across all communications. This means we capitalize only proper nouns (e.g., names of people, clients, places, institutions, and branded initiatives). All other words appear in lowercase—even in headlines, buttons, and titles—unless grammar rules dictate otherwise.

Note: Sentence case does not mean lowercase everything—it means using capitalization correctly, sparingly, and strategically.

Why we use sentence case (initial caps only for names + proper nouns) More readable Faster to scan, especially on screens and mobile Modern + polished Reflects a confident, clean, professional tone Visually cleaner Less clutter, better use of typographic hierarchy Inclusive + accessible Improves legibility for all readers, including those with dyslexia Name-focused Capitalization draws attention to what matters —clients, attorneys, and initiatives

Writing style

The following are some general guidelines for writing.

For more information on style, tone, and well written English, please consult Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style, which states: “Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word should tell.”

16

Honigman LLP |

brand toolkit

Our writing is to be precise, simple and professional. Use strong, active verbs; focus on the benefits that we offer our clients; and if you can say something in 10 words instead of 30, do so. Written communication should not digress or wander into jargon. Don’t dilute important information with watery rhetoric. Being long-winded is not being respectful of an audiences valuable time or attention. In other words, keep it simple. In written correspondence and marketing copy, use “Honigman LLP” on first reference and “Honigman” on subsequent references.

For clarity and readability, text should be flush left, ragged right, not justified; justified text creates uneven spacing and is harder to read. Headlines should be written in sentence case, which is clearer, more modern, and more aligned with our visual style. See prior pages 12-14 for additional guidance.


17


Imagery Imagery Our imagery should reflect our values and speak to our audience, who are businesssavvy, sophisticated and refined. In addition, images should be distinctive and unique to set us apart from other competitive firms. We are using stock photography, but curating our library of images to look original, to the best extent possible.

1. Hero images Evoking a meaning, emotion, metaphor or mood, these images tell a story and are in support of the overall message.

Please contact Krista Hill if you need an image or library of images. Krista Hill khill@honigman.com 312.771.4845

2. Atmospheric images. Large or small, these images are textural in nature and recede on the page, providing tone and atmosphere to an otherwise plain page. Because they need be part of the background, they should be of lower contrast and pattern-like.

3. Spot images When words need visual punctuation and emphasis, a small outlined object can be used.

Do not use imagery that is:

Original – Custom or commissioned photography, firm-owned visuals, or thoughtfully licensed imagery

Clearly artificial Obvious CGI, low-quality renderings, or overly processed images

Stereotypical “law firm” tropes

Authentic – Feels natural, unstaged, and emotionally honest

Clearly AI-generated or synthetic Unless carefully vetted and approved for abstract or illustrative use

Gavels

Dynamic – Shows movement, energy, or environmental context Reportage-style – Captures real moments or observational perspectives (like editorial photojournalism) Conceptual – Uses visual metaphors or abstractions to suggest complex ideas or themes

Personality-driven Avoid stock photos with recognizable faces unless previously approved; no staged portraits, unless used in professional headshots or event documentation Overtly staged or contrived Posed scenarios, overly lit conference room scenes, or unrealistic business interactions

Avoid clichés such as:

Chess pieces Scales of justice Courthouse steps Handshakes Smiling lawyers in suits Skyscraper skylines

Visual style

Keep it simple

Linework

While this book outlines many applications of the Honigman brand, needs may arise that are not specifically addressed here. When creating materials, try to follow the spirit of these guidelines. As a general rule, keep it simple. As our brand evolves, more off-the-shelf materials and document templates will become available.

Another part of the Honigman identity is the use of linework. It may be used as a tool to organize information or as a graphic element. When using linework, show restraint when using rounded elements. There are examples of linework and rounded elements throughout this toolkit (e.g., page numbers and the color, brand architecture, and charts and graphs sections).

When we use the word simple, we don’t mean ordinary or unsophisticated. We mean simple as in a business voice: clear, easy to understand, and without frill. When thinking about layouts and the delivery of information, ask whether the presentation is too busy, cluttered, or difficult to follow. Less is more.

Typography Use of large pull quotes, facts, evidence and statistical information is encouraged and an effective way to bring attention to our firm’s accomplishments, credibility, and substance.

Intention As in the practice of law, we want to make a clear and convincing business case, free from extraneous, distracting and irrelevant information. Our visual style is one of intention and purpose and should be free of excess decoration that has no purpose.

Honigman LLP |

brand toolkit

White space “White space” relates to the layout and design of any materials we produce. It is a term which denotes the considered use of empty space to allow for a clearer, more thoughtful presentation of information. White space prevents clutter and longwindedness; it forces us to communicate concisely, to trim fat. As seen in the example to the right, white space is not always white, and is very effective at directing a readers attention to an important point.

IP Litigation

Since 2020, we have handled:

Our Team—Relationship Contacts Select Representative Matters Represented Neapco Drivelines and Neapco Holdings against American Axle in a Federal Circuit appeal defending a win on summary judgment of patent invalidity. The case was closely followed by the bar association and media, and Law360 deemed it to be one of the “Biggest Patent Rulings of 2019.” Our team led the briefing and argued the case, securing affirmance of key aspects of the lower court’s judgment. Honigman continued to defend the judgment in opposing a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, which was denied in favor of Honigman’s client.

Why does any of it really matter? And what does it all mean? The Honigman brand may at first seem like a lot of little rules designed, arbitrarily, to make our lives more difficult. In fact, quite the opposite is true. These standards are the culmination of research, deliberate thought, and strategic positioning. They are designed to simplify. The philosophy behind our brand is a direct extension of the firm’s business strategy and vision for the future. Being consistent not only creates an impression of thoughtfulness — we are a unified firm that speaks with

one voice — it also allows us to focus on our message. Instead of always starting at square one each time new materials are created, we are able to build on these guidelines and templates quickly and efficiently. Each element of the Honigman brand has been carefully considered and crafted. Together, these elements present to the marketplace a consistent image of what we stand for and who we are. Our brand is our signature, our thumbprint; it’s what makes us stand out from the crowd.
