All of the world’s successful brands have a clear and consistent brand
identity. Whether this is underpinned through colour, iconography,
or typography, it results in something which is recognizable and
reassuring to the consumer.
The standards outlined here offer
clear instructions on how to use basic visual elements
in NUTRAFIN branded products.
The new unique and distinctive brand identity for NUTRAFIN is a
visual look and feel grounded in the new packaging design for the
brand and based around four key cornerstones - the brand mark, the
supporting graphics, the colour palette, and the typographic style
outlined in the following pages.
The standards outlined here offer clear instructions on how to
use basic visual elements in NUTRAFIN branded materials. This
is intended as a guide. As such, one should use it to help make
decisions regarding use of the brand mark, graphics, colours,
typefaces, and layouts. Since no style guide can anticipate all types
of communications to be developed for NUTRAFIN, one must use best
judgement and rely on the examples presented here.

1.2 Brand Categories
THE NUTRAFIN LOGO
The NUTRAFIN logo is the primary visual representation of
the brand and should accompany all product communications.
This section outlines the standards for using the logo, both by
itself and in conjunction with product identity logos.
The NUTRAFIN logo was created with great care and precision
and must never be recreated, altered, or distorted in any way.
2.1 The NUTRAFIN Logo
THE NUTRAFIN LOGO COLOUR VERSIONS
There are four colour versions of the NUTRAFIN logo; full-colour, singlecolour positive, single-colour black, single-colour reverse on black.
Figure 1. The NUTRAFIN Full-colour Logo
Figure 2. The NUTRAFIN Single-colour Logo
The Full-Colour Logo
The full-colour logo shown in Figure 1 should be used on all
applications whenever possible. The NUTRAFIN logo is reversed out and
ideally accentuated with a drop shadow. If the drop shadow results in
unappealing artwork, it may be removed. The preferred background is
the NUTRAFIN gradation (see 2.3 The Visual Grid), or The NUTRAFIN
Blue (see 2.2 The NUTRAFIN Colours).
The Single-Colour Logo
The single-colour logo shown in Figure 2 should only be used when it
is inappropriate to use the full-colour logo.
Figure 3. The NUTRAFIN Single-colour black Logo
The Single-Colour Black Logo & Single-Colour Reverse On Black Logo
For restricted one-colour materials, i.e. newspaper advertisements. The
black versions are for use only when black is the only colour available
for reproduction (Figure 3 & 4).

To give the NUTRAFIN logo prominence, it should always be
surrounded by an area of clear space. Other elements such as
text and graphics should not appear in this area as shown in
Figure 1.
When the NUTRAFIN logo is accompanied by a Product
Identity, use the clear space and positioning shown in Figure 2
as a guideline.

NUTRAFIN PRODUCT IDENTITY LOGOS
Eurostile Bold Extended
0-15-100-0
In almost all cases, rather than individual logos to identify
products, NUTRAFIN utilizes a combination of the NUTRAFIN
logo and the Product Identity. This unified identification
process reinforces a cohesive brand identity.
The Product Identity is presented in Eurostile Bold Extended in
The NUTRAFIN Yellow (0-15-100-0).
TURTLE
CLEAN
PLANT GRO
BIO-CLEAR
The size of the text will vary depending on the product
identity (longer product identities will require smaller text
than shorter product identities) and space available on the
packaging (“tight” packaging will require smaller text than
“open” packaging). Additionally, some product identities may
require two lines of text should they be too long. You should
always strive to balance the Product Identity text with the
NUTRAFIN logo using the samples in Figure 1 as a guideline.
The NUTRAFIN logo should always appear more prominently
than the Product Identity.

2.1.3 NUTRAFIN Product Identity Logos
COMBINED NUTRAFIN TRADEMARKS
In very rare instances, the NUTRAFIN trademark is combined
with a previously-existing product logo to create a new
NUTRAFIN-branded product trademark. This is done in
situations where the existing product identity is exceptionally
strong in the marketplace thereby enabling Hagen to
maximize product recognition via both trademarks.
Figure 1. NUTRAFIN Aqua Plus
BETTA
When combining NUTRAFIN with an existing trademark, the
NUTRAFIN logo should always be given primary importance
and clear space restrictions should be respected (see 2.1.2
Clear Space Area). The secondary trademark should be sized
and positioned similar to the Aqua Plus trademark as seen in
Figure 1.
Currently existing combined NUTRAFIN trademarks can be seen
in Figure 2.

Do NOT distort the dimensions
of the NUTRAFIN logo.
Do NOT change the typeface of
the NUTRAFIN logo.
Do NOT overlay the NUTRAFIN
logo over text or logos.
Do NOT reproduce the NUTRAFIN logo
using a pattern of any kind.
Do NOT reproduce the NUTRAFIN
logo in unapproved colours.
Do NOT skew or otherwise manipulate
the shape of the NUTRAFIN logo.
Do NOT alter the proportions of NUTRAFIN
logo in relation to secondary logos.
IMPROPER USAGE
The consistent usage of the NUTRAFIN logo is vital to the
proper development of the brand identity. Incorrect usage
of the logo dilutes and weakens the brand’s strength.
Therefore, manipulation of the NUTRAFIN logo or deviation
from the guidelines provided in this document are considered
inappropriate usage of the logo.
Figure 1 outlines a few samples of inappropriate usages of
the NUTRAFIN logo. Do not consider this sample list
of improper usages exhaustive – assume that any
manipulation of the NUTRAFIN logo not explicitly approved of
in this guide is not acceptable.
Do NOT reproduce the NUTRAFIN Product
Identity using unapproved colours.

Product Specific Colour
See the Colour Coding Systems for specific product
on the following pages
NUTRAFIN makes use of a unified colour pallet intended to
reinforce the recognition of the brand as well as recognition of
specific products within the brand. All products make use of The
NUTRAFIN Blue, The NUTRAFIN Yellow, and a specific Pantone
Colour based on the product’s category.
The NUTRAFIN Blue
All NUTRAFIN products make strong use of The NUTRAFIN Blue
as a prominent background colour. This creates strong brand
recognition that allows consumers to immediately identify
NUTRAFIN products on a shelf, even from a distance.
The NUTRAFIN Yellow
All NUTRAFIN products utilize The NUTRAFIN Yellow as an accent
colour for product brand logos, key text, callouts, bullet points,
and other design elements which require consumer attention.
Product Specific Pantone Colour
Each NUTRAFIN product category utilizes a unique Pantone
Colour (see the Colour Coding Systems on the following pages)
designed to assist consumers in identifying different products
within the same brand category.

The balance between the blue gradation and the colour
wave band are vital in maintaining a unified brand identity.
To maintain the colour balance, the blue gradation should
always occupy approximately 80% of the visual grid. The
dividing line which creates the colour wave band introduces a
contemporary feel and provides the basis on which the colour
coding system is built.
The blue gradation background is constructed using the
following four colour points along the height of the blend:

The Focus Circles are a dynamic graphic element that
highlight a key message of communication by focusing the
consumer’s eye on important ideas on a product, be it a
callout, product feature or image.
As shown in the examples in Figure 1, the Focus Circles
are very flexible, able to accommodate a wide range of
applications and messages.

PRIMARY TYPEFACE
Primary typefaces are established to strengthen the
recognition of an identity and also to reflect aspects of the
brand’s character. That’s why we’ve designated Futura
Condensed as the primary typeface. This simple, modern face
helps to communicate ideas simply and confidently. Used
consistently this typeface will help create a powerful and
recognizable typographic style.
Futura Condensed is available in several weights to allow
maximum flexibility. This typeface should be used, where
appropriate, on all printed applications.

For NUTRAFIN products, Eurostile Bold Extended is utilized
as the secondary typeface. This prominent face helps to
boldly and clearly communicate ideas and a product’s
identity. Additionally, the bold sanserif face serves as a
pleasant contrast to the NUTRAFIN logo’s serif design. Used
consistently, this typeface will help create a powerful and
recognizable typographic style.
Eurostile Bold Extended should be used solely for Product
Identity logos, to identify a specific product within the
NUTRAFIN brand. All text utilizing the secondary typeface
should be in ALL CAPS.
2.5.1 Secondary Typeface
CYLINDER CONTAINERS (foods, water care, etc.)
NUTRAFIN covers a wide range of products from fish foods to
water care to test kits to accessories. Each product is offered
in a variety of packaging from traditional boxes to cylindrical
containers (i.e.: bottles). Each packaging application is
addressed in specific ways while maintaining a strong over-all
look and consistency for the NUTRAFIN brand line.
Cylindrical containers present interesting design obstacles due
to their shape which these guidelines will address to ensure a
visually dynamic and functional design.

To ensure a clean presentation of the NUTRAFIN product
on a retailer’s shelf, it is important to size elements
correctly.
The back panel of cylinder packaging is utilizes a
rounded-corner rectangle with a corner radius of 0.25”
and a width of 1/2 the label’s width. The panel’s colour
is to match the NUTRAFIN product’s Pantone colour. The
panel is to have a white border with a thickness equal to
the dividing line between the blue gradation background
and the colour wave.
The front label artwork should occupy a horizontal area
slightly larger than 1/4 of the label’s width.

BACK
The layout of the back of the label is just as vital as the front
for ensuring the integrity of the NUTRAFIN brand identity. The
back label of all cylindrical NUTRAFIN packaging should be as
outlined in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Given the diversity of NUTRAFIN products available and
variety of packaging shapes utilized, it is impossible to
plan for all eventualities. When special cases arise where
adhering to these guidelines is either impossible or results
in an unacceptable appearance, one may deviate from
these guidelines. When doing so, respect the intent of these
guidelines and extrapolate a correct solution accordingly.

SMALL LABELS
Since NUTRAFIN offers a wide range of products in various
sizes, some product labels will be so small that strict
adherence to the proceeding guidelines would result in text
that is too small to print well (legibility will be poor and there
is a risk of the letter-shapes being compromised due to ink
plugging). When faced with this situation, it is acceptable to
change the back panel to solid white and the text to solid
black to improve legibility.
Only do so when the quality of the printing would
otherwise be jeopardized.

FISH IMAGE
All NUTRAFIN products will depict a fish beauty image. The
sizing and placement of the image is vital to ensuring the
integrity of the NUTRAFIN brand identity.
Figure 1. NUTRAFIN Max – 1 Fish
The fish should be sized to occupy a visual weight similar to
the NUTRAFIN Max logo, though the exact size will differ, due
to the different shapes of fish and volume of information on
the front of the label. Fish should be placed to the right of the
product text. When one fish is present, it should be oriented
towards the product text. When multiple fish are present, the
primary fish should be oriented towards the product text while
secondary fish may be oriented away from the text, as best
fits the appearance of the label.
Given that fish come in a large variety of shapes, it is
impossible to plan for all eventualities. When required to
use a fish of unusual proportions, respect the intent of these
guidelines and extrapolate a correct solution accordingly.

Test Kits
Hagen offers a wide range of test kits for consumers to

NUTRAFIN TEST KITS
FISH IMAGE
All NUTRAFIN Test products will depict two fish beauty images.
The sizing and placement of the images are vital to ensuring
the integrity of the NUTRAFIN brand identity.
Each fish should be sized to occupy a visual weight similar to
half of the NUTRAFIN Test logo. The combined visual weight
of both fish should be similar to the NUTRAFIN Test logo.
The fish should be placed to the left and right of the Product
Identification Focus Circle. Both fish should be oriented away
from the Focus Circle. If one freshwater and one saltwater fish
are utilized, the freshwater fish should appear on the left with
the saltwater fish on the right. If two fish of the same water
type are used, one should be slightly smaller than the other.
Figure 1. NUTRAFIN Test
Given that fish come in a large variety of shapes, it is
impossible to plan for all eventualities. When required to
use a fish of unusual proportions, respect the intent of these
guidelines and extrapolate a correct solution accordingly.

NUTRAFIN Accessories. When creating a NUTRAFIN Accessory
package, use the example in Figure 1 as a guide. This guide
can’t anticipate all possible new accessory packaging so the
information contained within this guide should be logically
extrapolated for application on any new accessory designs, as
required. Also when possible, review existing packaging that
most closely resembles the new dimensions for reference.
All Accessories will use the same Colour Wave. See 2.2.4
