The AreaIdentity
®
Welcome to the TiVo Style Guide. This guide
provides a framework for consistent application
of the TiVo identity.
As the TiVo service and product offerings expand
to meet the needs of consumers, it is important
that the TiVo brand, including all the elements
that make up the company’s visual identity,
remain constant.
We appreciate your commitment to these standards.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to

Brand Personality
Following are a few descriptive words to help inspire
you while designing creative marketing materials for the
TiVo brand.
Approachable and honest - Accessible, easy to meet
and know; not intimidating
Simple and easy - Easy to understand and deal with;
not obscure, technical, jargon
Smart - Gives you want you need, avoids what you
don’t (set stage for features and functions in context
of product offering) Responds to your preferences and
requests (less effort on your part to get a better result—
ie., Season Pass ® recordings and WishList ® searches)
Clean and direct - Easily readable; gracefully spare
Vibrant - Having energy, vitality, liveliness
Playful - Not taking ourselves too seriously;
able to have fun, be spontaneous.
Friendly and reliable - Providing enjoyment,
entertainment in a helpful likeable way
Name and Logo Background
TiVo - Upbeat, non-corporate & fun with a nod toward
TV. A reflection of the brand personality and voice.
Logo - Simple, friendly and memorable and again with
a nod toward TV. It’s easy & approachable. It suggests
lifestyle, not technology.
• Color plays a major role.
• The TiVo logo injects personality into, and puts a
face on, our service and company.
Expressing the TiVo Brand
The use of color is an important design element when
expressing the TiVo brand.
Our logo colors used in general design should punctuate
our brand personality. Vibrant, friendly, approachable
and playful qualities are brought to life via color and
simple copy, and keep TiVo from blending in as just
another “consumer electronics” product/service.
Inasmuch as subscribers relate to TiVo as a life-changing
experience, our vibrant color scheme helps express
the enthusiasm of our subscriber base and differentiate
TiVo at retail and in communications.

Using the TiVo Logo
General Usage
• The TiVo logo should never be re-drawn, re-spaced, or
altered in any way. It should never be used as part of
any other symbol or logo type.
• All logos must have the (®) symbol on the lower right
hand side. This mark is provided with the logo artwork.
• When reproducing the TiVo logo, use only camera-ready
electronic artwork provided by TiVo Inc.
• The logo should always appear in its pure form and
stand on its own with clear space surrounding it on
all sides. (See “Grounding The TiVo Logo” for exceptions.)
• The TiVo logo should never be personified or placed in
scenarios (like celebrating, cooking or skateboarding)
or depicted wearing clothing or costumes (like Santa
hats or Hawaiian skirts).
• Dimensional or animated versions of the TiVo logo
can be used only if they have been produced and
approved by TiVo.
Size Requirements
The TiVo logo should never appear smaller than 0.75”
(measured from the top of the antennae to the bottom of the feet).
Minimum Size: 0.75”

TiVo Messaging
The TiVo brand has more brand recognition than ever,
but many people still do not understand what the
product is and what it can do for them. Effective
communication requires a combination of lifestyle
benefits and explanation of unique features.
Following are some clear and simple explanations that
provide guidelines for how to talk about and write about
the TiVo box and service. The language is intended to
cover both the hardware and service to some extent.
Language is an important component of the brand and
the use of clear, approachable language is imperative in
explaining the product. Please refer to these examples
when developing copy for your TiVo advertising and
collateral.
Product Category
Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
TiVo provides a product that is both a box you purchase
at retail or at tivo.com and a service. TiVo fits into the
category Digital Video Recorder or DVR.
The TiVo service includes many new and unique
features that exceed what basic DVRs in the category
provide, additionally partner companies now offer
DVD recorders with TiVo service. Therefore the term
DVR can be limiting in some contexts in which case
the use of “box” as a generic term to reference TiVo
is acceptable.
For example:
Buy a TiVo box for as low as $XX.XX
“Box” provides a more conversational way to express
the product that communicates what is purchased
without limiting the feature description or product
comparison to basic DVR features.
Main Why-to-Buys

cally finds and digitally records every episode, even if

replay, slo-motion live TV. Plus, never miss an episode

Using TiVo Trademarks
Our company brands, including the TiVo trademark, the
TiVo logo and our other trademarks, are among our most
valuable assets. To preserve and protect these brands—
and to prevent their loss to the public domain—it is
essential that they are used correctly.
A trademark is lost when it becomes generic, i.e.
when it has come to mean the product as distinguished
from a certain brand of the product. If our trademarks
become generic, they could be used by competitors to
describe their goods or services. Consider the following
now-generic nouns that were once trademarks: Escalator,
Linoleum, Kerosene, Cellophane, Thermos, Aspirin, Yo Yo
and Bikini. The importance of correct trademark use
cannot be emphasized enough.
What is a trademark? A trademark is used to identify
the source of goods and services. A trademark can be
a word (or several words), a name, a symbol (such as
one or more letters, or numbers, or a design), a sound
or a particular color, or any combination of these.
(See lists of TiVo trademarks below.)
Copy Trademark Guidelines:
1. Distinguish the trademark with ® or ™ notice.
The ® and ™ designations provide notice to
others that a particular word or logo is a trademark.
The ® designation means that the trademark has
been granted federal registration by the Patent and
Trademark Office. The ™ designation means that
the trademark registration process has not been
completed with the Patent and Trademark Office;
nonetheless the owner is giving notice of a propri-
etary stake in the mark. The ® and ™ designations
indicate that you are referencing a particular brand.
Use the ® or ™ designation to set the trademark
apart from the text. The lists below indicate whether
the ® or ™ symbol is appropriate for each TiVo
trademark. The notice should appear at least once
in each piece of printed matter—preferably the first
time the trademark appears.
Example:
A TiVo® box automatically records your
favorite shows.
In the example above, the audience immediately
recognizes that we are referring to a genuine TiVo®
brand digital video recorder (i.e., a DVR from TiVo
Inc.) rather than a generic video recording device.
2. Use the generic name after the trademark. Because a
trademark identifies the source of a good, a trademark
is a proper adjective which modifies a noun—the
generic term. A generic term should be used immedi-
ately after the first or most prominent use of the
trademark. Thereafter, the generic term should be
used with the trademark often enough to make it
obvious that the trademark is not a generic name for
the product or service. A list of recommended generic
terms for each of our company trademarks are listed
below in these guidelines. Other generic terms may
be used instead. Limited exceptions are noted below.
Example:
Trademark Generic Name*
TiVo® service
Season Pass ® feature
*Do not capitalize the generic name.
3. Trademarks are singular. Because a trademark is an
adjective, it should never be used in the plural form.
Instead, when necessary, the generic noun can be
used as a plural.
Example:
Correct: I want two TiVo® DVRs.
Incorrect: I want two TiVos.
4. Trademarks are never verbs. It is never permissible
to use any of our trademarks as verbs.
Example:
Correct: I want to record “Desperate
Housewives” on the TiVo® DVR.
Incorrect: I want to TiVo “Desperate Housewives.”
5. Trademarks are never possessive.
Example:
Correct: The TiVo® remote control
Incorrect: TiVo’s remote control
TiVo Style Guide 13

Legal
6. “TiVo” may be used to refer to the company, TiVo
Inc., rather than a brand of product or service. If
“TiVo” is being used to refer to our company, rather
than the brand of a product or service, then the rules
for proper use of trademarks do not apply. Unlike
trademarks, company names are proper nouns; they
can be used in the possessive form and should not
be followed by a generic term. Neither the ™ nor
the ® symbol should accompany references to TiVo
as a company.
Example:
Correct: TiVo is now offering its customers
more choices than ever.
Incorrect: TiVo® is now offering its customers of TiVo Inc. or its subsidiaries worldwide.
more choices than ever.
7. Apply the banner/ headline exception correctly.
When our TiVo mark is used in small spaces that
constrain text size (such as a banner or headline)
a “shorthand” reference to “TiVo®” alone—which
does not include a generic term immediately after
the trademark—may be used, if a more expanded
version is set forth in nearby text (including by
hyperlink).
For example, the banner or headline may say
“Now Showing: Movies on TiVo®” so long as nearby
text includes the appropriate generic term next to
our trademark, such as: “Download Amazon Unbox
videos directly on your TiVo® box.”
on
Download Amazon Unbox videos directly to your TiVo box.
Sign up by April 30 and get $15
in free movies and TV shows!
(See details.) Shop Amazon.com
Now Showing: Movies on TiVo
Download Amazon Unbox videos directly to your TiVo box.
on
Shop Amazon.com
Similarly, a banner or headline may say:
“Get TiVo®”,
“What is TiVo®?”,
“Buy TiVo®”, etc.
as long as that the proximate text includes the same
trademark followed by a generic term, such as
“You can now purchase a TiVo® DVR.”
In the “shorthand” usage, use the “®” notice; then
again use the ® notice after the first appearance
of TiVo in the nearby text that provides the fuller
context. Whenever possible, use the TiVo logo with
the ® notice when using “TiVo” in a “shorthand”
manner for banners and headlines. In television
advertising, a shorthand reference to “TiVo” alone
can be used if: (a) the images on the screen make
it obvious that the trademark is being used in
reference to TiVo products, services or features,
and (b) the appropriate generic name is used with
the trademark in the advertisement.
For example, “TiVo finds and records your favorite
®
programs” is permissible if the image of the screen
® shows the TiVo software interface and elsewhere in
the advertisement reference is made to the TiVo DVR
or TiVo service.
8. Give trademark attributions where appropriate.
When needed to clarify who owns the trademarks, a
notice of ownership should also be given, such as the
following.
Example:
TiVo and the TiVo logo [or other company trademarks
mentioned] are trademarks or registered trademarks
Note: Additional copyright language should be added
after the trademark attribution language, if the
material created has been created by TiVo:
Example: © 2008 TiVo Inc. All rights reserved.
Required Legal Text
This language should be used on all documents that
describe the TiVo service:
• TiVo® service is required for the TiVo DVR to
function and is sold separately. TiVo service and
payment are subject to the terms and conditions
available at www.tivo.com.
• TiVo service is accessed through a standard
telephone line or broadband connection. In
some areas, local and long-distance toll
charges may apply.
