Trademark
The trademark is the central element in the presentation of the brand. Striking and with a high recognition factor, it reflects the identity of the company. The design principle hinges on the trademark and its positioning.

A common trademark as a unifying element
The Koenig & Bauer wordmark is the trademark for the entire Koenig & Bauer Group and serves as an all-encompassing signature for all business units and companies. The powerful and elegantly formed wordmark underscores the identity of the company.
You can download the trademark in a range of versions which are suitable for different applications. It may only be used in the predefined versions and must never be altered.

Protected space
The protected area gives the Koenig & Bauer trademark sufficient space to make a good visual impact and achieve a high level of visibility.
The distances for measuring the protected space are calculated in proportion to the height of the trademark. In general, Koenig & Bauer publications must not include any other trademarks or logos next to or below the trademark.
The logo comes above everything else
The Koenig & Bauer trademark must always be positioned uppermost. Texts, images, pictures, etc. are always positioned beneath the wordmark – never above. This results in a striking signature. For more information, please see the chapter on the layout principle.

Minimal display of the signature/trademark
In order to save space, the trademark can be included partially in certain cases.
For the minimal display version, the “&” character (signet) from the trademark is used. Thanks to its self-contained and differentiated shape, the “&” character can be used as a signature for the Koenig & Bauer brand, for example as an app icon or badge.
A range of versions of the “&” character are available as files for various areas of application. Unlike the trademark, the “&” character is available in all primary colours.
