GRAPHIC GUIDELINES
Volume 1.2, January 4, 2011
PREFACE
Welcome to the Graphic Guidelines for Mohawk® Industries’ Residential Division.
This tool is designed to help each user of the brand and subsequent properties
utilize them in a consistent, proper manner.
A brand is more than a company logo…It is the perception created by the
presentation of all things associated with a company. A cohesive identity is vital
in the creation of a professional, highly thought-of brand, both with our retail
customers and our end consumers. Consistency in visual communications helps
strengthen and build the brand for all audiences.
This is a living document. Changes, additions, and deletions will be made as new
information becomes available. Referring to the Graphic Guidelines for changes is
critical for any new project. You will be able to tell if changes have been made by
the volume number and date on the front cover. Please make sure your vendors
receive a PDF of this guide to ensure accuracy and consistency with work prepared
by outside sources.
To suggest changes or corrections to this book, please contact the Creative Group
within Mohawk’s Marketing Department. Suggestions may be sent via e-mail to
[email protected].

Logo
The most important and most identifiable visual element of a brand’s identity is
its logo, or brandmark. As one of our most important assets, the brandmark must
always appear as shown on the following page or in one of the color variations
described in these guidelines. Never attempt to redraw or rescale the brandmark or
add other graphic elements to its presentation. Always use a registered trademark
symbol (®) with the brandmark to ensure our legal rights are protected. Always
display the registered trademark symbol in the position indicated.

dark photographic background.

section 2.
TRADEMARKs
A trademark’s essential function is to exclusively identify for the consumer the
commercial source or origin of products or services and distinguish those products
or services from any other manufacturer or provider. The trademark symbol (™)
and registered trademark symbol (®) represent the status of a trademark and
accordingly, its level of protection. A ™ may be used with any common law usage
of a mark; ® may only be used by the owner of a mark following registration with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO or PTO). Usage of ® then designates such
registration and confers numerous exclusive rights upon the registered owner.
The proper way to display either symbol is in superscript style immediately following
the trademark. Use of the ® or ™ symbol is not necessary for every use of a mark
throughout the text. However, the symbols should accompany at least the first
use of a mark in the copy. In longer texts, repeat use of the symbols periodically—
for example, once every section, chapter, or page, depending on text length.
Trademark rights are maintained through actual lawful use of the trademark, so
consistent, proper usage of appropriate trademarks and corresponding trademark
symbols is important.
The following pages contain a selection of standard Mohawk categories with the
correct trademark symbols and current status.

section 3.
typography
Type can be a powerful brand tool when used carefully and consistently.
The typographic palette is comprised of both serif and sans serif fonts,
Adobe Caslon Pro and Univers. These font families were chosen for their
communicative and contemporary characteristics. For internal word-processed
communications and presentations, such as PowerPoint, Times New Roman
may be substituted for Adobe Caslon Pro and Helvetica for Univers. No other
typefaces, no matter how similar they may appear, may be used for body copy.
Headline fonts must be sensitive to the product category.
3.1 Adobe Caslon Pro
3.2 Univers
14
3.1 Adobe Caslon Pro.
Because of Adobe Caslon Pro's organic qualities and excellent readability, this font should
be used when relaying information to the consumer. This font can be used as both body
copy and headlines. Refrain from using Adobe Caslon Pro for product specifications or any
charts and grids.
Do not use Adobe Caslon Pro in body copy on dark fields of color, as the serifs will
disappear.
Adobe Caslon Pro Regular
This weight is acceptable for both body copy and larger headlines. When used in
body copy, the point size should be no less than 8 pt. and should not exceed 10 pt.
Adobe Caslon Pro Italic
When greater emphasis is desired in body copy, Adobe Caslon Pro Italic is a good
choice. Italic can be used for call-outs or short, highlighted information.
Adobe Caslon Pro SemiBold
A bit heavier than Regular, SemiBold is suitable for headlines in our print collateral.
Petite Caps are easy to read in captions and subheads.
All Caps are suitable for headlines and/or subheads.
15
3.2 Univers
Because of Univers' extensive font family, the following typefaces were chosen for readability.
However, any font from the family may be considered if it is used with discretion. Univers is
perfect for technical copy, disclaimers, and anything not directly intended for the consumer.
Refrain from using Univers 39, 49, and 59 Ultra Condensed, as they are too difficult to read.
Univers 47 Light Condensed
This weight is acceptable for blurbs, call-outs, product specs, and bullet points.
Acceptable sizes are 7-10 pt.
Univers 45 Light
Univers Light is perfect for body copy, bullet points and headlines alike.
It can be used in All Caps as well.
Univers 55 Roman
A bit heavier than Light, Roman is much more readable in body copy on a
dark color field.
Univers 65 Bold
Bold is to be used when greater emphasis is needed in text or captions.
Bold is also a suitable headline font.
Univers 75 Black
Black can be used in headlines on advertising, POP, or anything that needs
to be attention-getting.

section 4.
Paper
Using paper in an unnecessary or negligent way is ill-advised. Whenever
possible, select a paper that contains recycled content, such as the ones
recommended here.
4.1 Paper Choices
4.2 Standard Sizes
17
4.1 paper choices
New Leaf Reincarnation gives new life to old paper. This ultra-eco-friendly recycled
paper is the only coated free-sheet paper made in North America that is 100%
recycled, 50% post-consumer waste (PCW) and processed chlorine-free (PCF). It
looks more like a high-end uncoated paper, because it has low reflectivity. Its surface
offers exceptional ink holdout, giving images and photography that eye-catching pop.
New Leaf Paper developed these sheets with designers in mind, to make the path
toward sustainable design smoother, crisper, easier.
This stock is perfect for:
• catalogs and brochures
• highly detailed jobs
StoraEnso Productolith is a dependable, reliable, and consistent
choice for coated paper. All StoraEnso recycled papers meet EPA and FTC guidelines
for recycled coated papers and feature 10% total recovered/all post-consumer fiber.
• trifolds
• warranty brochures
• postcard mailers
• white papers
StoraEnso Productolith is the dependable economy paper that helps you stretch
your budget without compromising quality or environmental responsibility. Backed
with Sappi’s domestic supply chain and trusted technical support, Flo delivers the
integrity and strength needed to consistently handle the job—all at a price that won't
blow your budget. (Available in both sheets and web)
• retailer and consumer brochures
• product catalogs
• other multi-page pieces
*Specialty FSC Certified papers include a metallic by Reich and Starwhite by Neenah®
and maybe be used as accents to high-end jobs.
18
4.2 standard sizes
Pocket Folder: 9 x 12"
This size should only be used for a brochure that contains a pocket folder
to house a standard 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper.
US Letter: 8.5 x 11"
This standard US Letter size is a good choice for brochures and white
sheets. It can be laid out vertically or horizontally.
Square: 6 x 6"
The square format is vital to the Cube Campaign. While it can be used
in any dimension, the standard size for consumer brochures or collateral
is 6 inches square.
Trifold: 3.6875 x 8.5"
This standard trifold size is perfect for warranty brochures or simple
announcements where a trifold is deemed necessary.
