  • Logo Elements

    There are three graphic elements that may be used to represent Mr. Pickle’s: The STANDARD LOGO, the WORD GRAPHIC and the PICKLE GRAPHIC. To avoid confusion, we will refer to these specific terms throughout this manual and in our business operations.

    The Mr. Pickle’s “STANDARD” logo consists of two elements: the PICKLE GRAPHIC and the word “Mr. Pickle’s ” WORD GRAPHIC. As shown below these elements have been carefully designed to fit together in a balanced form and the relationship should not be altered when the two elements are used as one logo.

  • Acceptable Variations of the Logo

    Maintaining brand consistency through standardized use of the logo is critical to the Mr. Pickles identity.

    Therefore, the Mr. Pickle’s logo is available in several formats to meet any digital or print need.

    LOGO PLACEMENT

     

  •  

     

    Always give the logo(s) as much clear space as possible to maintain its impact. The signature should be positioned by a border of a minimum clear space base on 1/2 the height of the pickle.

    Maintaining brand consistency through standardized use of the logo(s) is critical to the Mr. Pickles identity.

  • GRAPHIC ELEMENTS

    The PICKLE GRAPHIC and the WORD GRAPHIC may also be used individually when they appear as two clearly separate elements.

    As outlined below, the PICKLE GRAPHIC and the WORD GRAPHIC may also be used separately. The WORD GRAPHIC may be used in lieu of the STANDARD logo and may be more appropriate for many applications, particularly small items or those on a dark background that should be reversed.

  • Image field 79
  • TYPOGRAPHY

    Helvetica Narrow Bold and Myriad Pro (alternative Arial) are the primary type families. Any combination of these typefaces may be used, however, Myriad Pro is preferred for body copy and Helvetica Narrow Bold for headlines in print material. Preferably, all typography should be set aligned left and ragged right, upper and lower case and normal letter spacing. Font sizes should be appropriate to document size with consideration for readability.

    As a general rule, body type should be set to a minimum of 9.5 pt with 15 pt leading when possible.

  • Image field 109
  • When to use PANTONE files: Pantone is a spot color used on jobs with specific color matching such as silk screening (mugs, pens, umbrellas, jump drives, etc.) and 2 color print jobs such as letterhead, business cards, note cards, envelopes, and 2 color brochures.

    When to use RBG low-resolution (.gif or .jpg) files: Whenever you have only an onscreen presence, such as for use on web sites.

    When to use hi–resolution bitmap (.bmp) files: Whenever you want to create a file in .pdf format to be able to view clearly on screen and print clearly as well.

  • At no time should the colors outlined to the left be altered or changed.

    Logos containing the green Mr. Pickles color should be printed on a clear, white, beige and black background only. Any other colored background should carry a black, white or a combination black/white logo.
