Professional needs
Airbus provides workwear to employees only for professional needs. Incorporating our company logo and colours into the design of workwear participates in reinforcing the Airbus brand.
Therefore, we have specific rules governing the application of our logotype on workwear.
Graphic elements application
Logo application:
- Apply a white logo on dark backgrounds.
- Apply a blue logo (Pantone 281C) on light backgrounds.
- The logotype can be applied using various printing techniques or embroidery.
Logo Sizes:
- The logotype should be 70 mm in width on the front.
- The logotype should be 200 mm in width on the back.
- These are maximum sizes, and the logos can be smaller to fit specific clothing items.
Additional Marking:
- Additional markings are never mandatory. Apply them only to specified products and when necessary.
- Limit additional markings to the first name and surname only in two lines maximum.
When individuals have double first names and surnames, the second name should be abbreviated. For example, Cristobal-Manuel Sanchez-Gonzales should be written as Cristobal-M. Sanchez-G. - Do not include function, department, project names or other initiatives
- Exceptions are solely for firefighters and medical personnel, who must be identifiable in emergencies. Markings can be applied in the appropriate language.
The rationale behind limiting additional markings on workwear beyond what is specified:
Beyond the increased costs of multiplying additional makings, our primary goal is to maintain a unified Airbus brand image for our customers. We want our employees to represent a cohesive global entity, rather than a collection of smaller, separate entities.
Before questioning this guideline, please consider what problem you are trying to solve and what tasks cannot be completed with only the standard Airbus logo on the workwear.
Application techniques:
- Embroidered: Polo shirts, business shirts, wool hat
- Printed: all other items
Principle of positioning the graphic elements
Note: The principle is shown on a t-shirt only for layout purposes.
