LOGO INTRODUCTION Our Logo is the key building block of our identity, the primary visual element that identifies us.

The signature is a combination of the the symbol

itself and our company name – they have a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way.

THE FULL LOGOTYPE The RB Intermodal Corporate Logo comprises two elements, the logo symbol and logo type. The Logo Symbol is a powerful image evoking the culture of design services - the connection between the strength of communication and the different points that influence.

It has a particular relationship with the RB Intermodal name. The Logo Type has been carefully chosen for its modern and yet refined, highly legible style, which has been further enhanced by the use of blue & black tones. The

typeface has also been chosen to compliment and balance perfectly with the logo symbol.

The corporate logo is presented through the use of colour as well as shape and form. The two corporate colours are blue and black. It is a fresh and appealing blend of colours chosen for their strong combination - modern - classic - timeless.

The colours have been selected according to international standards as shown below and are easily implemented.

ROCKWELL Bold

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

THE FONT The first geometric slabserif, Litho Antique, appears as a sport from the Inland Typefoundry of St. Louis in 1910, distributed from Inland and then ATF. The 1933 Monotype updating of Litho Antique was supervised by F.H. Pierpont from Connecticut. Rockwell was prepared as a competitor to Memphis, but Pierpont ignored the detailing of the contemporary European slabserifs in favor of the earlier American model.
