OUR BRAND

OUR MANTRA

FOR MINDFUL LIVING

Mindful living starts with small choices. Choosing to care for the things we have. Choosing to make them last longer. Choosing what’s better for ourselves and for the world we share.

When we take these small steps together, every day becomes a little smarter, a little fresher and a little more sustainable. It’s about choosing with care, keeping what matters and adding value through the way we live.

That’s what mindful living is about.

FOR US, MINDFUL LIVING IS WHEN:

We add value to people’s lives.

We take on the responsibility.

We contribute to sustainability. We care.

We live the Polygiene way.

OUR ORIGIN

WHAT DEFINES US?

A drive to improve everyday life by extending product life and enabling smarter, more sustainable use of the things we rely on.

OUR PURPOSE

WHY ARE WE HERE?

To become an enabler and inspiration for shaping a smarter, fresher and more mindful way of living.

OUR MISSION

HOW DO WE DO IT?

By empowering people to feel good about themselves and confident in the choices they make – for their lives and for the world around them.

OUR PERSONALITY

WHAT DRIVES US?

With a strong ethos we spring from a long Scandinavian tradition to innovate and adding value by smart technologies and services.

OUR AMBITION

WHAT DO WE STRIVE FOR?

To add value to what people already rely on — helping them to longer-lasting products, less waste and a fresher, smarter everyday.

OUR VOICE

We know our technologies and services make a real difference to everyday life – in lots of ways. That’s why we speak with confidence, but never with ego. We’re energetic and enthusiastic and we include people through conversations that feel human, engaging and informed.

TONE OF VOICE

When it’s time for facts and figures, we’re serious. But we never take ourselves too seriously. Because at the heart of it all, we’re here to connect – to inspire, to inform and to make things feel a little easier, a little fresher, a little smarter. And when the moment allows, we let our sense of fun and curiosity come through. Sometimes even a touch of cheekiness.

It’s all part of who we are. About the mindset we bring to everything we do, about being part of something bigger. That’s why, in everything we say and do…

We’re in.

WE’RE IN.

01 A mindset of engagement and positive change.

WE’RE IN: ONE MESSAGE. TWO MEANINGS.

WHEN WE’RE IN , WE’RE ALL IN.

Built into products, working from within to make them last longer and stay fresher.

WHEN WE’RE IN , THEY PERFORM BETTER.

MESSAGING PILLARS

“For Mindful Living” is our overarching brand idea. To support that idea we use a clear structure to keep our communication consistent across everything we do. We’re in is our core message and the promise that unites all of Polygiene® - both internally and externally. Under this umbrella, each business area has its own focused message that reflects the specific function.

Freshness uses Wear More. Wash Less.* and Adding value to express the everyday benefits of our technologies.

Smart uses Adding value to highlight how our built-in solutions improve performance, longevity and function.

Together, this structure ensures that every message feels connected, distinctive and true to what Polygiene stands for.

*Always use initial capital letter when ”Wear More. Wash Less.” is communicated

PRODUCT FUNCTIONS

MASTER BRAND

LOGOTYPE GENERAL

The Polygiene® General logotype always comes with our ”For Mindful Living”mantra. It’s used when communicating the company as a whole, not specific business areas. It’s the primary logo for fairs, ads and materials where Freshness and Smart solutions appear together.

Use the horizontal version as default; the vertical version is optional for narrow or centered layouts.

HORIZONTAL VERTICAL

LOGOTYPE FRESHNESS

Use the Polygiene® Freshness logotype whenever Freshness products and solutions are communicated on their own — in ads, folders, leaflets, datasheets, hangtags and at fairs.

The horizontal version is preferred; the vertical version is used for narrow or centered formats.

HORIZONTAL

LOGOTYPE SMART

Use the Polygiene® Smart logotype whenever Smart products and solutions are communicated on their own — in ads, folders, leaflets, datasheets, hangtags and at fairs.

The horizontal version is preferred; the vertical version is used for narrow or centered formats.

HORIZONTAL

LOGOTYPE PRODUCTS

When specific technologies are being communicated, use the designated product logotype.

All Polygiene® technologies has 4 different types of logos. The horizontal logo is the preferred one.

Polygiene primarily communicates through our functions Freshness and Smart. The technology logos are secondary.

LOGOTYPE MINIMUM SPACE

All Polygiene® logotypes need clear space around them to ensure visibility. For horizontal logotypes, use the height and width of the “O” in Polygiene as minimum free space on all sides.

For vertical logotypes, use 2× the height and width of the “O.” More space can be used when the layout allows.

HORIZONTAL

VERTICAL

korta ner LOGOTYPE PLACEMENT

Place all horizontal Polygiene® logotypes in the bottom right corner as default, using the width of the hand symbol as minimum margin. It may also be placed bottom left or top, following the same spacing. The vertical logotypes is used mainly for centered layouts or in narrow formats.

Both horizontal and vertical logotypes may be used vertically on tall, narrow objects when needed.

LOGOTYPE COLORS

WHITE OR LIGHT BACKGROUNDS – POSITIVE LOGOTYPES

On white or light backgrounds (-40% black) you shall always use the positive logotype. Please note that the hand ALWAYS shall be white regardless of the color/tone of the background. The ONLY exception is when a one-color print is used or when the background color is too close to the color of the Polygiene hand symbol, and therefore a one-color print is used instead.

LOGOTYPE COLORS

BLACK OR DARK BACKGROUNDS – NEGATIVE LOGOTYPES

On black or dark backgrounds (+40% black) you shall always use the negative logotype. Please note that the hand ALWAYS shall be white regardless of the color/tone of the background. The ONLY exception is when a one-color print is used or when the background color is too close to the color of the Polygiene hand symbol, and therefore a one-color print is used instead.

BLACK BACKGROUNDS

DARK COLORED BACKGROUNDS

DARK GREY BACKGROUNDS (+40% BLACK)

LOGOTYPE COLORS

BLACK AND WHITE LOGOTYPES

Sometimes the logotype can not be used with the orange or blue color. Either because it is only a 1-color print/transfer or the color of the background is to close to the logotype color. Then we use the Black or White logotype. Black logotypes on lighter backgrounds (-40% black). White logotypes on darker backgrounds (+40% black).

Note the exception – the hand is not white when black or white logotypes are used. In these cases the hand in the circle will always be shown in the background color.

DARK BACKGROUNDS (+40% BLACK) LIGHT BACKGROUNDS (-40% BLACK)

LOGOTYPE MIS-USE

DO NOT USE OTHER COLORS FOR THE IDENT

DO NOT ALTER THE SIZING OF THE IDENT OR TYPE HIERARCHY

DO NOT DISTORT OUR LOGO AND SCALE PROPORTIONALLY

DO NOT SEPARATE THE THE IDENT FROM LOGOTYPE

Our suite of logos are our key representative on both a business and consumer facing level, which is why it is important to keep the logos true to their original creation. These demonstrations are all examples of incorrect logo use.

ONLY USE BLACK/WHITE FOR ONE COLOR LOGO USAGE

DO NOT ROTATE OUR LOGO IN ANY WAY

DO NOT USE EFFECTS WITH OUR LOGOTYPES

DON’T USE LIGHT LOGOTYPES ON LIGHTER BACKGROUNDS

COLORS

Orange is our core Polygiene® color and represents both the brand as a whole and the Freshness business area. Blue is the main color for the Smart business area.

Both colors are mainly used in logotypes and product wordmarks, and sparingly as accent colors. When used as backgrounds, always pair them with the white logotype.

A warm light grey is our unified background color for all categories and communication.

We also use standard black and white.

TYPEFACE

League Spartan is our primary typeface and an important part of our global visual identity. It’s modern, clean and rooted in a Nordic design tradition. We mainly use Semibold, Regular and Light, but all weights may be used when appropriate.

HAND ICON

The Polygiene® hand icon comes in two versions – outlined and filled –and are decorative elements used to support our visual identity.

Both is primarily used large and bleeding to the right hand side, creating a interesting, graphic presence. The icon should always be in white, but transparency can be used to create a more subtle visual effect.

Neither version replaces the logotype or is used as a sign-off. They are visual accents, meant to strengthen our brand expression.

INFOGRAPHIC ICONS

Our infographic icons are always placed inside a coloured circle –Orange for Freshness and Blue for Smart. They can also be used in negative white on coloured backgrounds or photos. A shared artwork bank contains all approved icons for both business areas. Always use these official versions to ensure consistency.

DIGITAL DESIGN GRID

korta ner

This is a general principle design grid for all digital formats. We work with a modular design.

For vertical formats the page is divided in 2 columns with no surrounding white frame (to maximize size). If the design needs a Polygiene® warm grey backgound use a dividing white frame in between modules. For a square use 4 modules, for higher format use 6-8 modules depending on format/design. Horisontal formats such as web banners follow the same rules but horizontally. When the format is very narrow such as this horisontal web banner, use one module on the height (width for narrow vertical banners). Always use a big legible Semibold Headline and avoid small texts

APPENDIX

COPYWRITING GUIDELINES

THE USE OF ® IN HEADLINES, COPY & ADS

The name Polygiene is a registered trademark, and we use ”Polygiene®” only once per layout – the first time it appears in informative text.

We never use ® in headlines, slogans, taglines or standalone statements, as these are treated as design elements rather than body copy. In layouts with mixed or flexible text blocks (such as ads), apply this rule:

Use ® at the first occurrence of Polygiene in the text that informs, not in the text that sells.

If several short text blocks appear, place ® in the block that functions most like body copy – the part that explains, describes or provides information. After this first use, simply write Polygiene without the ®.

This approach keeps our communication clean, consistent and legally correct across all formats.
