The brand architecture defines the content and formal structure of the company portfolio. The aim is a strong appearance and better visibility beyond the industry. That is why Koenig & Bauer’s expertise and strengths are bundled and united under one umbrella brand. The Koenig & Bauer corporate brand creates a strong brand umbrella for all departments, divisions and companies. It is the strong and overarching sender for all companies of the Koenig & Bauer Group. Subsidiaries, foreign entities and business units are indicated by the company name.

Sender behaviour in the literature
The trademark is the strong and overarching sender. Therefore the legal entities are not positioned on the cover page.
On the back, the legal entities are typographically highlighted in the same way as on the office products.
Formatting the legal entities
Legal entity: Koenig & BauerHBook Font size: 40% of the HL Line spacing:115% Character spacing:-10 Distance to the headline: 1 space line of the legal entity
Sender behaviour on websites
The brand strategy principle is also continued consistently in the digital channels. Koenig & Bauer is positioning itself as a strong umbrella brand through the legal entities. Similarly to the office products, the company name is subordinated and shown as a “home button” in the navigation.

Shareholding & Joint Ventures
For Shareholding and Joint Ventures with other Companies we use a combined Logomark of the Koenig & Bauer Logo and the other company’s logo seperated by a “|“
Internal Subbrands
Internal Subbrands like „Koenig & Bauer Academy“ which operate in seperate markets are branded by the Koenig & Bauer Logo and a light blue subline.
Partnerships & Cooperations
Partnerships & Cooperations with other companies are co-branded using a combined Logo of the Koenig & Bauer Logo on top and the partner’s logo beneath seperated by a 2pt red line half the width of the Koenig & Bauer Logo. It is important to use the same height for both logos used. The Space between the logos and the red line is exactly the height of the Koenig & Bauer Logo
