Purpose
The purpose of the Caterpillar Global
Advertising Framework is to provide a
single, consistent framework that helps
build brand equity and identity in the
Caterpillar and Cat brands. This unified
approach, when applied across all print
ads, web banners, direct mail, and
brochures will create focus internally and
ensures external audiences understand
who we are, what we do and how we can
create value for them.
Definition
The Global Advertising Framework is a set
of standards and guidelines that help define
the look, tone and message for Caterpillar
and Cat branded print advertisements, web
banners, direct mail, and brochures.
When to Use the Global Advertising
Framework
The Global Advertising Framework is
intended to be used by any member of
Caterpillar responsible for creating
communications with the Caterpillar or Cat
brand. The Global Advertising Framework
provides standards and guidelines for print
advertising, web banners, direct mail, and
brochures.
Global Advertising
Framework Elements
The individual elements that create the
Global Advertising Framework include:
Typography Standards
Color Standards
Page Layout Components
Approved Signature Placement
Photography Guidelines
Writing Tone Guidelines
Messaging Guidelines
The composition of these elements is
discussed in the following pages.

Page Layout Components
The Global Advertising Framework page
layout consists of the following three
components:
1. White border
2. Yellow field
3. Image area
These components are combined to provide
a visual hierarchy as well as define a
consistent look in our advertising.
White Border
The primary function of the border is to
create a clean and consistent background
for the placement of the approved
signature.
The white border is defined by:
Always use white as the border color
Place approved signature in the lower
right corner of the white border in the
Global Advertising Framework. If main
image is outlined, the ad size will define
its border. No images should extend into
the bottom white border.
Copyright notice, trademark statement
and other legal disclaimers must be
positioned in the opposite corner from the
signature in the white border unless this
information will not fit or will not be
readable. In these cases, other
placements may be considered. These
notices must also appear in the opposite
corner of the signature in the red band
for Rental. The trademark statement is not
required on web banners.
Contact information, may be placed in the
white border. See the examples to comply
with the clear space requirements for the
approved signature.
For more information about the Global Advertising
Framework, a Must Do listing of simplified standards
is available at: https://brand.cat.com/GAFMustDo.
If you have additional questions, which are not
answered by the Must Do listing, you may contact

Yellow Field
The function of the yellow field is to contain
the body text of the piece and may contain
the headline. The headline and sub-head
may also appear in the Image area. The
yellow field is defined by:
Caterpillar Corporate Yellow is always
used. See color standards for specs.
Use only one solid yellow text field.
The yellow text field has four sides, 90
degree angles without disruption.
The yellow field should bleed off at
least a single edge of the piece.
The yellow field is flexible and determined
by the amount of text used within
your piece.
The yellow field should be no smaller than
five percent of the entire piece (for
example, 1 x 4 on an 8.5 x 11page).
The yellow field should not infringe on the
clear space requirements for the
approved signature.
The yellow field must contain the body
copy and call to action information (i.e.,
URL, contact number). It may also contain
the headline, support imagery, graphs,
or charts.
Image Area
The main image area can be flexible due to
the size and position of the image. The only
text that may be used in the image area is
the headline, sub-head text, and when
necessary, call-outs. The image area
is defined by:
Image area field is four sides, 90 degree
angles without disruption.
Image area must have adequate clear
space from the approved signature
located in the white border.
Do not use visual complexities, such as
collages in which a photo or image is
placed on top of another photo or image.
A photo or image may be combined with
another photo or image if the result forms
a new image that serves to communicate
the ads message or the product benefit.
See examples showing how to use the
image area including how to place
additional supporting images, graphics,
or headline text.

Typography Standards
Caterpillars standard typefaces are from
the Univers and Times families. The
Rockwell family may be used in rental
documents only. Headlines, sub-heads,
and text (type groups) can be one color or
each type group can be in a different color.
Primary consideration for color is that
the combination of type and color allows
for readability.
Text can be set at various weights to
achieve a typographic hierarchy. It is
therefore possible to differentiate between
headlines, running text, emphasis, marginal
notes, and other means of accentuation.
Univers Condensed Bold
for headlines, subheads and call
to action information
Univers Condensed for text
Univers Condensed Light for text
Univers Light for text
Times New Roman for text

Color Standards
Color identifies our company and creates
powerful impressions about our brands.
Accurate and appropriate use of color helps
customers remember our company, dealers
and products.
Color values are good, but eyes are better.
Always compare the actual piece with the
color tools or swatches in natural light.
Reproduction Values
Color values are defined below for different
applications. Whenever possible, it is
recommended to make a visual comparison
with Caterpillar Corporate Yellow swatches
supplied by the Caterpillar Media Logistics
(800-566-7782). Media # AEXQ0089
Overviews of the color reproduction
systems mentioned below are:
The Natural Color System (NCS)
The NCS values are a notation for the
colors as we see them and provide the most
accurate color reproduction for virtually any
producible material (i.e. paint, textiles, ink,
plastic, vinyl etc.). Tolerance guides and
swatches are available in both matte and
gloss (coated / uncoated).
Process Printing (Four-color process,
CMYK)
If the use of a match color is not feasible,
use CMYK values. Be sure to have a
Caterpillar Corporate color swatch on hand
for an accurate match.
Multimedia (RGB)
Always use RGB color values when
creating artwork using software such as
PowerPoint to be projected or displayed on
a monitor.
Web Colors
Web sites use a hexadecimal color system
to reproduce color via the Internet.
Additionally, a dither, which approximates
a color by combining two or more web safe
colors, is used in the web environment.

Approved Signature Placement
The examples illustrate how to support the
consistent placement and clear space
requirements for the signature.
Always positioned in the lower right
corner of the piece.
In a white border, always use the two-
color version of the approved signature.
Adhere to minimum size and clear space
standards for the approved identity.

Joint Marketing
Joint marketing is when different
companies or distinctly different businesses
within the same company use their brands,
as represented by their logos, to support,
sell, or promote a grouping of businesses,
offerings, or capabilities.
Each joint marketing relationship
must be evaluated and approved in
consultation with Corporate &
Dealer Identity.
Joint marketing is rare and should
not be used as a way to cut costs.
It may only be done when:
Both companies are recognized as
leaders in their industries. They must
have high awareness and brand equities
that drive customer decisions.
The joint marketing relationship creates a
new solution, allows our brand to expand
into new markets, or reach a new
customer base.
Joint marketing with brands directly
competitive to Caterpillar is not allowed.
This includes competitive brands within
the Caterpillar enterprise portfolio..

engines with ACERT

Technology may sound and feel


different from what youre used to. But when you follow these driving
tips, youll nd they still provide the performance and fuel economy
youve come to expect from Cat.
Russ Siegel, Caterpillar Test and Demonstration Driver
Try Progressive Shifting
When you use progressive shiftingshifting up as soon as you have
enough rpm to grab the next gearyou can get up to speed in good
shape and save fuel in the process. Its easier on the drivetrain, too.
Downshift a Little Later
Be patient. Dont downshift until the engine drops back to the 1100 rpm
range. Lugging the engine like this may seem strange until you get
used to it, but it wont hurt a thing. Cat engines are built to take it.
Use Cruise and Slow Down
The electronic cruise control does the best job of keeping speed and
rpm steady to save fuel. Its less tiring for you, too. Slowing down also
saves: every mile per hour over 55 reduces fuel economy by a tenth
of a mile per gallon.
Cut Your Idling Time
Cat engines dont require long warm-up or cool-down periods. Just go
easy on the throttle at start-up when the engine is cold. At cool-down,
idle for only about three minutes. Cutting idle time from 50% to 25%
can improve fuel economy by up to 4%.

How to Use the Global Advertising
Framework for Web Banners
Follow the standards and guidelines
provided while utilizing the elements of
the Global Advertising Framework on the
panels of the web banners.
Approved identity must be used as the
signature.
In a white border, always use the two-
color version of the approved signature
with the copyright away from the
signature.
If a white border is not used, you must
choose the appropriate one color
approved signature. The copyright must
be placed away from the signature.

ALONG THE WAY.

How to Use the Global Advertising
Framework for Brochures
Front Covers
Brochure title type needs to either be
reversed out on the main photo image or
placed in a yellow field.
Additional message copy, other than the
brochure title, must be contained in the
yellow field.
It is strongly recommended that the
approved rental identity be incorporated
on the front cover of each brochure.
Exceptions are:
Using a dramatic full-bleed
image of a Cat product with
the logo prominently
displayed on the equipment.
Using the Cat name in the
headline (title) of the
brochure.
Using a tease and reveal
(for example, drawing the
reader into the brochure by
posing a question on the
cover, then upon opening the
brochure, it is immediately
apparent the answer is Cat).
All pages may use the approved rental
identity in the bottom right corner.
Back Cover - Approved Identity
Approved identity must be used in the
lower right-hand corner.
Copyright notice and trademark statement
must be placed away from the signature
in the white border.
It is recommended that the call to action
information be placed aligned to the left
and directly above the copyright notice in
the same font as the headline.
If you have additional questions regarding this topic,
you may contact the Corporate & Dealer Identity Help
Desk at U.S. Tel. +1.309.675.5135, or Tie-Line 7.725.5135
or email brand@cat.com. You may also visit
