Introduction

__ 4 __

This is the Coldwell Banker Commercial Mark.

The Commercial Mark is the primary Coldwell Banker Commercial® Trademark.

It must be used exactly as indicated in this Manual. The Coldwell Banker Commercial Trademark is authorized for use with your approved company name (called “DBA” in this Identity Standards Manual) as described on office identity signs, property signs, stationery, business cards, classified advertising, personal promotion literature and all other advertising materials and external communications.

The Mark consists of a blue PMS 286C, rectangular field with the words COLDWELL BANKER COMMERCIAL, stacked on three lines in white letters, and the “CB bug” in white letters called out to the left in a box. The Mark may be represented in black or blue on white.

It is essential that the correct color blue be used. See the Color Specifications section of this Manual, for more information.

The color blue is always the same. The shape, or aspect ratio (the relationship of height to width), of the blue field is always the same. The size, spacing and placement of the words Coldwell Banker Commercial and the “CB bug” are always in the same relationship within the blue field. The color, the aspect ratio of the Mark, and the relationships within the Mark shall not be altered regardless of the application or the size of the Mark within the application.

It is the uniqueness of each of these elements and the way they have been assembled into a unit that gives the Coldwell Banker Commercial Mark its distinctive character.

In virtually all applications a minimum of white space surrounds the blue field of the Mark and shall always be maintained.

The letters “CB” shall never be used outside of the Mark, as the letters “CB” are the trademark of another company.

Residential use of “commercial.” It is not permitted to use the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Marks or name to advertise anything other than the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Organization. The advertising or general solicitation of certain kinds of residential property is specifically prohibited. However, Franchisees who have been licensed to use the Coldwell Banker Marks for residential properties should refer to the Coldwell Banker Identity Standards Manual for further information. Also, please see your Franchise Agreement.

MINIMUM REQUIRED DISCLAIMER. Every piece of printed literature given directly to consumers (i.e., brochures, postcards, etc.), excluding business cards and stationery, must contain the following legal disclaimer, set in approximately 6-point type, Book Antiqua font; the year should be updated to reflect the current year:

Trademark Proper Trademark Notations and Use

__ 6 __

Trademark Proper Trademark Notations and Use

USE OF THE COLDWELL BANKER COMMERCIAL REGISTERED MARK (®). If the Coldwell Banker Commercial Mark is used in the headline of a piece, the registered symbol “®”, must be used the first time the Mark appears. The registered symbol should also be used the first time Coldwell Banker Commercial appears in the subhead or the body copy of that piece. The maximum number of times the registered symbol should appear next to Coldwell Banker Commercial on a given page is two. If Coldwell Banker Commercial is not used in the headline, the registered symbol must be used the first time Coldwell Banker Commercial appears in the subhead and next to the first mention in body copy on the page.

If Coldwell Banker Commercial is not used in the headline or subhead, the registered symbol only needs to appear next to Coldwell Banker Commercial the first time that it is mentioned in the body copy of a page. This is the only situation when two registered symbols are not necessary.

Do not use the registered symbol when using your DBA (i.e. Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith and Smith Realty) or Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates.

If the printed piece is longer than one page, the Coldwell Banker Commercial registered symbol must be inserted according to the above guidelines on every page of the piece.

The following list shows the proper trademark use for all Coldwell Banker Commercial programs, materials and theme lines

ELECTRONIC PROGRAMS. • Blueprint • CREST EDG • Coldwell Banker Commercial®

• Coldwell Banker Commercial® Lead Routertm • Commercial University • www.cbcworldwide.com

ABBREVIATION. The words “Coldwell Banker Commercial” may be abbreviated to the acronym “CBC” when referencing the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization after spelling out the first use of the Trademark. Coldwell Banker Commercial® (CBC) should be used the first time when referring to Coldwell Banker Commercial on each page. CBC can then be used the subsequent times on that page. Please note, you need to follow the above rule on each page.

Do not use the CBC acronym when referencing your DBA.

INCORRECT: CB Commercial CB CBC Smith Realty

ADJECTIVE.The words Coldwell Banker Commercial must never stand alone. The Coldwell Banker Commercial name must be used as an adjective modifying or describing a noun, but never as a noun itself. It must also never be in the possessive or plural form.

CORRECT: The Coldwell Banker Commercial® organization

INCORRECT: Coldwell Banker Commercial is international Coldwell Banker Commercial’s offices are international

__ 7 __

USE OF NAME IN BODY COPY. To present a consistent and unified image for our company, utilize these guidelines when using the Coldwell Banker Commercial® name in body copy.

The Coldwell Banker Commercial name must be in bold face when “Coldwell Banker Commercial” stands alone the first time it appears on the page. It is not necessary to bold Coldwell Banker Commercial every time. The name must never be in bold face when used in combination with your DBA (Smith Realty) or the term Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates.

The following examples demonstrate the correct use of the Coldwell Banker Commercial name in body copy:

CORRECT: • Investors turn to a Coldwell Banker Commercial office when buying or selling an office complex • Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Realty has highly trained professionals INCORRECT: • Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Realty • Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates

TRADEMARK USE WITH YOUR APPROVED COMPANY NAME. The Coldwell Banker Commercial® Trademark is never to be used alone without your company name.

Your company name must be pre-approved by Coldwell Banker Commercial and should provide clear identity and should never cause confusion with other offices or firms or imply national scope or services:

All of these examples are inappropriate and confusing when used as your company name along with the Coldwell Banker Commercial Trademark:

INCORRECT: • National Real Estate New York City • United States Real Estate Associates

YOUR DBA MUST NOT EXCEED TWO LINES, ONE LINE IS PREFERRED.

CORRECT: • Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith & Smith Associates

INCORRECT: • Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith, Smith & Associates

YOUR DBA MUST ALSO NOT CONTAIN ANY GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCES NOR INCLUDE CORPORATE ABBREVIATIONS OF ANY NATURE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOLLOWING DBAS ARE IMPROPER:

• Coldwell Banker Commercial Denver Realty • Coldwell Banker Commercial Supreme, Inc.

OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA. It is suggested that your company name or DBA always include the words “Real Estate.”

CORRECT: • Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith International Real Estate

Trademark Format with Property Sector Specific GroupTrademark

TRADEMARK USE WITH PROPERTY SECTOR SPECIFIC GROUPS. The Property Sector Specific Groups (PSSG) is designed to allow a group of Affiliate Members of Coldwell Banker Commercial to market the group together under a common name using the Coldwell Banker Commercial® name and/or mark. The PSSG is to be used as a descriptive name for the collective members of the group, but the group as an entity is not recognized as a franchisee of Coldwell Banker Commercial.

The reporting of any transactions to Coldwell Banker Commercial or Realogy must still be submitted by each individual Affiliate Member as per their franchise agreement, and may not be reported under the name of the PSSG.

Any and all listings secured by Affiliate Members of Coldwell Banker Commercial must still be submitted to cbcworldwide.com and must be done under the DBA of the individual affiliate; listings may not be submitted under the name of the PSSG.

The PSSG name that is chosen by the group must be approved by the Marketing Department of Coldwell Banker Commercial. Email [email protected].

Separate and apart from any approval of a group PSSG by Coldwell Banker Commercial, it is the responsibility of each member of the PSSG group to obey any rules, ordinances, or regulations of any local governing authorities and/or real estate boards as it pertains to the use of the PSSG in their respective local marketplace(s).

IDENTITY REQUIREMENTS

Use of the traditional Coldwell Banker Commercial logo (2D) or the 3D logo is permissible for use with the group PSSG. The PSSG versions of the logo should never be reproduced, they should be downloaded from the CBC Intranet site. The PSSG Coldwell Banker Commercial Trademark is never to be used alone without your company tradename. Your company tradename should be centered directly under the logo (beneath the PSSG). It should not be contained in the blue box surrounding the PSSG, rather at least 2 grid units below). Your DBA is always typeset in Book Antiqua Bold in all caps.

18GridUnit

__ 10 __

For large scale reproductions of the Coldwell Banker Commercial Trademark (such as office building signs) strict adherence to proportional size enlargements is required. The blue field must maintain a 1 to 3.8889 ratio of height to width.

Reproduction of the Mark is not recommended as it can be downloaded in many formats such as .EPS, .JPEG, Color, & B&W from Blueprint (www.cbcblueprint.com).

The Mark to the right with scaling grid provides the correct space relationships for all elements. This grid should be used as a guide for scaling the Mark up or down in size and for verifying the correctness of reproductions.

ASPECT RATIO 1.0 to 3.8889 (18 Grid Units to 70 Grid Units).

A correct Mark is 18 Grid Units in height and 70 Grid Units in width. The correctness of the aspect ratio may be verified by measuring the height of the field and multiplying it by 3.8889. The result should equal the width.

Letter height is 3.5 Grid Units, except the initial capitals, “C,” “B,” “C,” which are 4 Grid Units.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These displays are for demonstration only. All measurements are in Grid Units. The Scaling Grid provides the correct size and spacing relationships for all elements of the Mark. Disclaimer height is 2 Grid Units.

The grid should never be reproduced as part of the signage or the Mark!

Reproduction of the Mark Coldwell Bankers Commercial® Logo Guidelines

Reproduction of the Mark Using the Mark without the Blue Box

There are certain instances where the mark can be utilized without the blue box. While it is not recommended to use this version of the logo, it can be used with proper approval from the marketing department by emailing [email protected].

This version of the mark follows the guidelines provided this document for the standard logo. The only difference is that it does not have the typical blue box around the outside. It should not be reproduced and should be downloaded from the CBC intranet site.

The mark without the blue box can only be used in these colors and as one solid color. There is no mixing of colors allowed:

• Pantone 286 (or color match)• Black• Silver• Grey• White

Note: Only the silver, white or grey versions are permitted when using the mark without the blue box on any colored background. The standard or 3D version of the logo can be used with the proper white border around it.

You should at all times display the mark with the Registered (®) symbol.

Reproduction of the Mark Embossing

The Coldwell Banker Commercial® Mark may be reproduced through a printing process known as Embossing where the words Coldwell Banker Commercial and the “CB bug” are raised in relief from the surface of the paper or fabric.

Two types of embossed Marks are acceptable. The first has the words Coldwell Banker Commercial and the “CB bug” in relief against a printed field, which defines the background of the Mark (Illustration #1). The second has the words Coldwell Banker Commercial and the “CB bug” in relief against the field, using an embossed frame to define the field of the Mark. The lines that make up the frame are one Grid Unit in width. No ink is used. This is called a Blind Emboss (Illustration #2).

In either instance the words Coldwell Banker Commercial and the “CB bug” are raised (not recessed) from the surface of the paper or fabric. When the background field is printed in Coldwell Banker Commercial blue, a one-level die is used. When embossing is blind, a two-level die is used with the frame being raised from the paper’s surface but one half the depth or distance as that of the words Coldwell Banker Commercial (Illustration #3).

The Mark shall be reproduced photographically in making the embossing dies. The size of the words Coldwell Banker Commercial, their placement and the spacing in relationship to the background field or the frame that defines the field shall be consistent with all Mark specifications. The aspect ratio (height to width) of the blue field or to the outside of the frame shall be 1.0 to 3.8889.

The size of the embossed Mark shall be sufficient to enable the embossing to be crisp and sharp and the words legible. The prescribed space (generally two Grid Units) shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark whether or not the field is printed in color or defined by an embossed frame.

When embossing on fabric, the words “Coldwell Banker Commercial” should be in relief printed in white against a Coldwell Banker Commercial blue, black or white background. Or, the words may be embossed in gold against a blue background. Embossing the words in blue against a blue background is permitted, but NOT recommended.

3D Version of the Mark

The Coldwell Banker Commercial logo has a 3D version available for use. The 3D logo must never be reproduced from scratch. High resolution .eps, .jpg & .png files are available on the Coldwell Banker Commercial intranet site for affiliate use. This is not a replacement of the traditional logo, rather an additional “option” to use on various marketing materials such as:

• Property Signage• Electronic Marketing Materials• Printed Marketing Materials

Complex applications such as embroidery, screen printing or engraving will demand the simplicity of the 2D logo. The use of the 3D logo follows the same identity standards as the original logo. There is no mandatory use of this logo. It is merely an option to use at your leisure.

Reproduction of the Mark Improper Uses

The following are examples of improper uses and techniques that shall be avoided when reproducing the Mark.

DO NOT do any of the following!

Do Not trim or alter the Mark’s background field or block.

WRONG RIGHT

Do Not reduce the Mark smaller than 1 1/16” in width. It will not reproduce satisfactorily.

Do Not “reverse” the Mark using dark letters on a light field.

Do Not convert the Mark to lines or other screen patterns. Always print the Mark in solid ink. (The only exception is in Classified Advertising where the publication refuses to print any Mark in solid ink.)

__ 15 __

Do Not allow the mark to touch a background color or other elements (rules, stripes, etc.) without the proper white border around all four sides of the Mark. No other copy or graphic elements shall appear within this margin of space, except when using the special combined Mark in Display Media.

WRONG RIGHT

Do Not superimpose on or affix anything to the Mark which will cover up any portion of it or the prescribed margin of space surrounding the Mark.

Do Not reproduce the scaling grid as part of the Mark.

Do Not place the Mark at an angle.

WRONG RIGHT

The typeface in which the words Coldwell Banker Commercial® are displayed in is a custom typeface to be used exclusively within the context of the logo. This typeface should never appear outside of the logo. The acceptable typeface to be used in headlines, body copy, etc. is Book Antiqua.

Do Not use the Coldwell Banker Commercial custom typeface in headlines or body copy.

SEE THESE FORTY COLDWELL BANKER COMMERCIAL LISTINGS

Do Not use the Mark as an element of copy in headlines or elsewhere. Instead, set the words Coldwell Banker Commercial in the typeface contained in the balance of the headline or body copy.

PROMOTION ANDSALES TOOLS FOR COLDWELL BANKER COMMERCIAL SMITH AND SMITH ASSOCIATES

Do Not use any copy under the logo except your approved DBA, and no copy may appear directly above the mark.

Do Not extend the length of your DBA past the left edge of the “C” in the “CB bug” and the left edge of the “L” in “COMMERCIAL.”

Do not use the Coldwell Banker CB bug outside of the Mark.

__ 17 __

Do not use the Coldwell Banker bug design outside of the Mark.

Do not alter the Coldwell Banker Commercial logotype. Separating the elements of the logo compromises the integrity of the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization.

Do not use the Coldwell Banker Commercial® logotype or CB bug in body copy. Instead, typeset Coldwell Banker Commercial in the same typeface as used for the text.

Do not crowd the logo with other graphic elements including typography illustration and photography. Provide the minimum white space to all sides of the signature for maximum visibility and impact.

WRONG RIGHT

Do not use two or more logos for identification on the same page.

Do not use the logo in repetition as a pattern.


__ 18 __

Do not replace the Coldwell Banker Commercial® logotype with another typeface. The logotype has been carefully drawn and letter spaced.

Do not alter the proportions or relationship between the CB bug and the Coldwell Banker Commercial name.

WRONG RIGHT

Do not stretch, condense, or distort the logo in any way.

Do not place photography, instructions, text, graphics, or other secondary identification symbols or images over the logo.

The Mark should not be cropped or trimmed.

The Mark should be 100% PMS 286C, not textured, highlighted, shaded, or in some color effect except black.

STANDARD SIGN. The standard sign consists of a 48 inches wide by 48 inches high (76 x 76 Grid Units) white panel. Should local ordinances require a deviation, an alternate size panel is permitted; however, requests must be made in advance in writing by using the “Request for use of non-approved office or property identity sign” included in this manual.

No sales professional names are to be referenced on the sign.

TELEPHONE NUMBER. Telephone numbers are to be displayed in black Book Antiqua Bold numerals. The exact size is proportioned as illustrated above. If your company also deals in residential brokerage, a separate commercial telephone number must be displayed on your commercial property signs. No personal residence phone number is to be referenced on the sign.

REQUIRED DISCLAIMER. The disclaimer line, as shown in this Manual, MUST always appear in upper and lower case Helvetica type style on all property signs.

*NOTE: No symbols, emblems, slogans or other verbiage are to appear on property signs except where required by local laws. Any variations from the above specifications must be submitted in advance in writing for approval to the Coldwell Banker Corporate Office by using the request form on page 32.

TRADEMARK REPRODUCTION. The Coldwell Banker Commercial® Mark should never be drawn free hand. The proper version should be downloaded from the CBC intranet site.


The illustrations, below, provide the correct space relationships for all elements. The scaling grid should be used as a guide for scaling the Mark up or down in size and for verifying the correctness of reproductions.

All measurements are given in Grid Units (GU). This is to simplify the process of scaling up or scaling down the signs. In general a minimum of two (2) Grid Units of space or air shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark except when specifically noted otherwise in some applications.

When the Mark is used against a dark background other than white, a margin of white space (minimum two (2) Grid Units) is required around all four sides. This margin of space shall contain the Mark only. No other copy or graphic element shall also be contained within this space.

Office Identity - Office Signage Reproduction of the Office Signage

All measurements are given in Grid Units (GU). This is to simplify the process of scaling up or scaling down the office identity signs. Office identity signs are to be internally illuminated using fluorescent lighting.

Whether your office identity sign is free-standing, protruding, or a fascia installation, it must conform to the following guidelines. These signs may be ordered from a local vendor, who should conduct a survey of your property and forward a formal proposal, including pricing for product, freight, tax and installation.

REQUIREMENTS. The office identity signs must maintain a 60/40 configuration ratio between the Commercial Mark and your company name regardless of the outside dimensions of the sign. The top 60% contains the Coldwell Banker Commercial® name in white reversed out of a blue field, and the bottom 40% contains your company name in black upper case Book Antiqua Bold letters and centered under the Mark on a white field in one or two lines.

TRADEMARK. The Coldwell Banker Commercial Trademark (top 60%) is to appear only as authorized with the corporate type style letters in white, cut out of a Coldwell Banker Commercial blue translucent vinyl background and laminated to virgin white plexiglas.

REQUIRED DISCLAIMER. The required disclaimer line, as shown in this Manual, must appear on the office identity sign, centered under the Coldwell Banker Commercial blue field and displayed in Helvetica Condensed as shown, upper and lower case letters in black letters. Additionally, signs or decals indicating that your company is an independently owned and operated affiliate must be prominently displayed in an appropriate place, such as a front window or conspicuous area inside the office.

NOTE: No other symbols, emblems, slogans, telephone numbers, marks or words may appear on an office identity sign. Any variations from the above specifications must be submitted via request form to the Coldwell Banker Commercial Corporate Office for its advance written consent.

PLASTIC SIGNAGE. Specify Rohm & Haas Blue Plex #2114.

ILLUMINATED SIGNS. For building signs that are illuminated from the inside specify © 3-M Translucent Scotchcal Vinyl, Color 3630-36.

ILLUMINATED SIGNS. For externally illuminated sign applications specify © 3-M Scotchcal Vinyl Color 3680-37 Sapphire Blue.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS. Electrical wiring is another vital factor in planning the construction of your sign, which should adhere to national industry standards. For example, there are great differences in cost and quality of ballast, which must be U/L approved with U/L approved waterproofing and pure aluminum weatherproof raceways. All wiring and wiring systems must be pure U/L approved copper.

INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEWThe Coldwell Banker Commercial® Mark enjoys tremendous recognition amongst consumers.

To maintain this strong recognition, it is crucial that it always be represented correctly and consistently. WEB ADDRESSES. A Web address (also known as a domain name or uniform resource locator (URL)) is used to direct Internet users to your Web site. For the purposes of these guidelines, we will use only the term “Web address.” Whether you are acquiring a Web address for your Web site to be used by your company, your team or yourself, you must follow corporate name and trademark guidelines. In addition, your company and office Web sites must comply with the Coldwell Banker Commercial Policy & Procedures Manual and this Identity Standards Manual, which can be found at www.cbcblueprint.com. This section uses a fictional Franchisee (“Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Associates”), a fictional Sales Associate (“Jane Smith”) and a fictional Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) to show you how all these guidelines apply on the Web.

ESTABLISHING WEB ADDRESSESIn order to connect a particular Web address to your Web site, you must first register that Web address, pay a registration fee, and provide certain administrative and technical contact information. See www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html for a complete list of accredited registrars.

Registering a Web address is easy, but picking a good one can be tricky. For optimal usability, a Web site address should be short, meaningful, easy to spell, and easy to remember.

A Web address should reflect your business identity: a DBA for a company or office site, (such as Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Associates), or a personal name for an individual site (such as Jane Smith). This is true both for unique Web addresses (e.g., www.cbcworldwidesmithassociates.com or www.cbcworldwidejanesmith.com)

For subdirectory Web addresses (e.g., http://www.isp.com/cbcworldwidesmith associates or http://www.isp.com/cbcworldwideljanesmith).

When answering the telephone, office personnel must always use the Franchisee’s full, approved Coldwell Banker Commercial® company name (DBA), never just “Coldwell Banker Commercial,” and never just the individual company name. To maintain this strong recognition, it is rucial that the correct mark always be represented consistently.

CORRECT: • “Good morning, Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith and Smith Associates”

INCORRECT: • “Good morning, Coldwell Banker Commercial” • “Good morning, Smith and Smith Associates” • “Good morning, CBC Smith and Smith Associates” • “Good morning, Coldwell Banker Smith and Smith Associates”

TELEPHONE NUMBER. A separate commercial telephone number must be utilized if the company also deals in residential brokerage or any other non-franchised business services.

Telephone PolicyOffice Identity

Internet Standards

__ 41 __

Once you obtain an Internet address, please inform Coldwell Banker Commercial of the exact configuration of the Internet address you have selected by sending a copy of your address to [email protected]:

If you are establishing a Web address for a company or office site, and intend to use the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization name in that address, make sure you do so correctly. In your Web address, you may use:

1. Your full approved company name (e.g.,www.coldwellbankercommercialsmithassociates.com or http://www.isp.com/coldwellbankercommercialsmithassociates)

2. “cbc” as three consecutive characters* (e.g., www.cbcsmithassociates.com or http://www.isp.com/cbcsmithassociates.com)

3. A modification of your approved company name* (e.g., www.com or www.smithassociates.com or http://www.isp.com/smithassociates or http://www.isp.com/smithassociates

*Note that #2 and #3 are acceptable in a Web Address only, NOT in the content of a Web site! All other references to the brand name with your DBA must always spell out Coldwell Banker Commercial correctly (never abbreviate it to “CBC”), and must use the full, approved company name (i.e. Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Associates). Never use “CBC” other than in a Web Address.

In addition to the above, your Web site must not contain any geographic references, nor include corporate abbreviations of any kind.

FOR EXAMPLE THE FOLLOWING WEB SITES ARE IMPROPER: • *www.coldwellbankercommercialdenver.com • *www.coldwellbankercommercialsupremeinc.com AVOIDING CONFUSIONIt is important to avoid confusion between Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates and its Franchisees and their sales associates, and to distinguish the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization from other real estate brands. You should also be careful not to use Web addresses that are similar to any of the Coldwell Banker Commercial trademarks, service marks or slogans. The following are not acceptable: • www.smithcommercialtothecore.com • http://www.isp.com/smithcommercialtothecore

To avoid confusion and to state that your Franchise does not represent the brand as a whole, you may NOT register any domain name under any circumstances that uses the name “Coldwell Banker Commercial” alone. For example, these domain names are NOT acceptable:

• www.coldwellbankercommercialproperties.com• www.cbcbusiness.com• www.cbcrealestate.com

Finally, to keep your brand identity distinct, avoid including marks or slogans of other companies in your Web address.

FOR EXAMPLE, DO NOT CREATE AN ADDRESS LIKE THE FOLLOWING:

• www.cbcommercialsmithSVN.com • www.coldwellbankercommercialsmithassociates.com/colliers • http://www.isp.com/cbcommercialCBRE

BRAND USAGE GUIDELINES ON YOUR WEB SITESIn addition to following corporate guidelines in creating your Web Address, you must also represent the Coldwell Banker Commercial® organization correctly in the actual content of your site.

Internet Standards

__ 42 __

MAKE SURE YOU ADHERE TO THESE MANDATORY IDENTITY STANDARDS:

The Coldwell Banker Commercial® blue rectangular box and “bug” logo must never stand alone. Your approved company name must always be used below the Coldwell Banker Commercial Mark as per this Manual.

The words Coldwell Banker Commercial must never stand alone. The Coldwell Banker Commercial name must be used as an adjective modifying or describing a noun, but never as a noun itself. Therefore, it must always be followed by a noun:

CORRECT: as part of the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization INCORRECT: as part of Coldwell Banker Commercial CORRECT: come join the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization INCORRECT: come join Coldwell Banker Commercial Coldwell Banker Commercial should not be allowed to break across lines. Use the non-breaking space character (“&nbsp” in HTML) to make sure the brand name stays together. Anytime you refer to the “Coldwell Banker Commercial organization,” you must use the approved spelling for Coldwell Banker Commercial, i.e.,Coldwell Banker Commercial never CBC.

On each page, the first time it appears outside your approved name, the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization name must contain the registered trademark symbol “®”. The symbol should appear immediately after the mark (e.g., Coldwell Banker Commercial® Organization). Your approved name must always begin with the words “Coldwell Banker Commercial.” Your company name should follow the brand name (e.g.,“Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Associates). DO NOT include the registered trademark symbol “®” when Coldwell Banker Commercial is used with your approved company name. ALL AWARDS MUST BE IDENTIFIED WITH A DATE. When noting achievements on the web, be sure to note the corresponding year in which each award was received (e.g., 2007 Commercial Elite Award).

All trademarks, service marks and slogans must be used correctly. Whenever you use the trademarks and service marks, including any references to awards and programs, be sure to use the approved symbols such as “ ®”, “™” or “SM”. The “®” symbol is used for registered marks, while the “™” (for trademarks) and “SM” (for service marks) symbols are used for marks that are not registered.

CORPORATE TRADEMARK LISTColdwell Banker Commercial Affiliates owns many trademarks and service marks that must be protected. Make sure that your Web site displays the various Coldwell Banker Commercial Marks correctly, as set forth in the trademark section of this Manual.

USING THE MARK ELECTRONICALLYAlthough it is possible to create the Coldwell Banker Commercial® logo on a video screen or computer, improper coding and/or inadequate dots-per-inch (dpi) matrixes frequently result in distorted images. Approved Coldwell Banker Commercial logos are available on the Intranet site, on Blueprint (www.cbcblueprint.com) as .eps and .jpeg files. The electronic piece must conform to all of the guidelines set forth in this Manual, including:

COLOR. The Coldwell Banker Commercial logo is PMS 286C blue. When specifying Internet or monitored displayed work, Coldwell Banker Commercial blue must be specified by the web-safe color: Hexadecimal Model: H:220 S:100 B:60; RGB Model: R:0 G:51 B:153. HTML #003399.

COMPANY NAME. Your company name (DBA) should accompany the Coldwell Banker Commercial name and logo. When the logo is featured the top 60% should contain the Coldwell Banker Commercial blue field with the Coldwell Banker Commercial name in white letters. The bottom 40% contains your company name in black upper case Book Antiqua Bold in a point size equal to two point sizes smaller than the Coldwell Banker Commercial name.

In certain instances it may be appropriate to feature your company name in white, reversed type.

Advertising - Public Relations Internal Communications and Public Relations

PUBLIC RELATIONSWhenever the Coldwell Banker Commercial® name appears in print independent of a DBA, it must be in a bold type face.

The first time the Coldwell Banker Commercial name appears in a headline, the registered symbol “®” must follow it. The first time it appears on any page either in a sub-headline or body copy, the registered symbol “®” must follow it. The maximum number of times the registered symbol may follow the Coldwell Banker Commercial name on any one page is two.

Never use Coldwell Banker Commercial in the possessive (i.e. Coldwell Banker Commercial’s success is due to…) The correct form would be “the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization’s success is due to…”

A company should not be referred to as “a division” of Coldwell Banker Commercial but rather, as “a Coldwell Banker Commercial franchised company.” (i.e., Coldwell Banker Commercial Smith Realty, a Coldwell Banker Commercial franchised company…)

Coldwell Banker Commercial should not be referred to as the commercial “division” of Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates. An example of incorrect use is: “Coldwell Banker Commercial, the commercial division of Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates…” and the correct use is: Coldwell Banker Commercial is a registered trademark licensed to Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates.
