In this Handbook, we outline the building blocks of the TrueCar brand, including what we stand for, what sets us apart, why we choose the words we use, and how we’ve decided to show up in the world.
What Every organization on the planet knows what they do. These are products or services they sell.
How Some organizations know how they do it. These are the things that make them special or set them apart from their competition.
Why Why is not about making money. That’s a result. Why is a purpose, cause or belief. It’s the very reason the organization exists.
What Help people confidently buy and sell cars by connecting them with Certified Dealers via our website and app.
How Provide people with the most ways and most choices through innovative tools and complete information — from discovery to delivery.
Why We believe buying a car should be easy, transparent and efficient for everyone, no matter their income, zip code or background.
For nearly two decades, TrueCar has empowered people with knowledge and confidence when it comes to buying a car. Our digital marketplace helps consumers consider vehicle choices, new or used, all with a clear view of what’s a great deal. This, combined with our national network of Certified Dealers has turned TrueCar into one of the most trusted brands in automotive.
We now live in a new era of convenience, in a time when we need options that best fit our unique lives. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to purchasing a car. Whether your budget is $6,000 or $60,000, or if it’s your first time buying a car or 14th time, TrueCar makes car buying true for you.
TrueCar’s mission is to make car buying and ownership truly fit who we are and how we want to be in the world.
The millions of people who rely on TrueCar to start their car search can now also rely on TrueCar, its affiliates, and dealer partners to help them get financing, sell/trade their car, and finish the transaction with the same transparency, efficiency and confidence they’ve come to expect.

In this section we go deeper into TrueCar's overall personality, including how we choose to communicate, the words we use, and the emotional tone.
We are characterful. But we never let character overwhelm content. Our focus is on the people who need help making a big life purchase.
We are car buying for the people.
We understand your heartaches, your heartburns, but also your heartfelt excitement about getting a car.
The key to sounding like TrueCar is speaking directly to the user, in a voice that gives them confidence.
We distinguish ourselves from other car-buying sites through the way we use design and language to make communication feel simpler and more pleasant.
By being deliberate and thoughtful with the way we use language and imagery, we encourage people to form a deep level of trust with TrueCar as they embark on making their second largest life purchase.
At the end of the day, we are a trusted friend and insider who’s got your back.
Here’s what we are (and aren’t):
• Smart (but not cocky)
• Helpful (but never overbearing)
• Empathetic (but not condescending)
• Witty (not silly)
• Conversational (but always appropriate and respectful)
• Direct, clear, concise and human
We reflect a depth of knowledge that is valued from a trusted expert and communicate in a clear, concise and easy-to-understand way.
We omit unnecessary words, but aren’t robotic.
We project confidence. We make people around us feel empowered, capable and inspired to move forward. Our tone will vary depending on the audience, the context and the information we need to get across.
The logos illustrated in these guidelines have been designed as recognizable and unique graphic elements that easily identify TrueCar. They are registered service marks of TrueCar and may not be altered for any reason.
The TrueCar logo embodies our mission — proudly expressing our belief that car buying and selling should be easy, transparent and efficient for everyone, no matter their income, zip code or background.
The multi-color contemporary letterforms of the logo convey access to endless choices and our empathetic agility, taking TrueCar users from the beginning to the end of their journey to find the perfect car.
The primary Master Brand Logo is a multi-color gradient expression that captures the essence of the TrueCar brand. The primary logo communicates movement and energy and should be used in all possible applications.

The TrueCar color palette embodies our brand mission and attributes expressing empowerment, optimism and choices.
Too much color can become overwhelming and complicated. Despite having an array of colors to choose from, we highly recommend using restraint.
Color usage should be limited to our primary brand colors whenever possible. Colors should be used with purpose.
The honesty and trust in the information and pricing that TrueCar provides in the car buying price and process. Calmness that TrueCar brings when customers know the TruePrice they are getting.
The positivity and the uplifting feeling TrueCar brings to car buying and the memorable moments brought to us by our cars.
The energy and spirit cars bring into our lives and the passion TrueCar has for bringing happiness to the car buying experience.
The optimism and confidence of TrueCar.
Each core color stands for TrueCar’s unique brand attributes. Blue, green, orange and magenta can be used as accent colors. They should be used sparingly throughout illustration, photography, and product in order to maintain meaning and potency. Approved colors may be matched using the Pantone matching system (PMS) colors, and CMYK for printed applications. RGB and Hex Code colors should be specified for screen-based/digital uses.
