These guidelines are designed to help you use Kane International's brand and assets, including the use of our logo and the way Kane products must be displayed.

High resolution Kane logo and product images can be found in the Image Centre section of this site.

CORRECT TRADEMARK LOGO USAGE

The Kane trademark is recognised as a symbol of professional quality. The trademark logo consists of the Kane name in a black square with the large K in green and white.

These guidelines are provided to ensure every time the Kane trademark is used both internally and externally it communicates the quality and professionalism associated with the Kane brand. Do not use old Kane and Kane-May trademark logos you may have on your system.

If you are unclear about the use of these guidelines you should contact the Kane International Marketing Department on +44 (0) 1707 384823 or send an email to: [email protected].

CORRECT TRADEMARK LOGO SPACING

To preserve the visual integrity, we have established a space around the entire trademark logo. This area should be preserved anytime you use the trademark logo and is equal to the height of the “KANE.” This space around the entire trademark allows it to command a visual presence. This area should be left empty of any typographic or design elements.

Correct Spacing

CORRECT TRADEMARK COLOUR USAGE

Kane Corporate colours are Kane green, black, and white. As a rule, the Kane trademark logo should never appear smaller than 15 mm square, the green and white trademark logo on a black background is our preferred version.
