We are a network strengthened by our people – customers, colleagues and partners alike. By focussing
on people at the heart of our business we will continue to grow the future of the TNT Swiss Post brand.
In order to protect the strength of our brand and the integrity of our message, it is essential to commu-
nicate in a way which is true to us and consistent across all the brand expressions. These brand guide-
lines explain how to use the TNT Swiss Post brand elements (such as logo, tagline, colours, typography
and photography) and provide a comprehensive manual for anyone (employees, channel partners, de-
signers and marketing agencies) who will create communication materials.
When the right people come together, great things can happen.
Around the world, our people and our customers are the pulse of TNT Swiss Post.

TYPOGRAPHIC STYLE
FOR DIGITAL
For digital communications the primary typeface is Primary typeface
Arial. Arial has been chosen as a close match to our
primary typeface and is available to everyone.
ARIAL
REGULAR REGULAR ITALIC
The secondary typeface is Times New Roman. It has ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
been introduced to support our primary typeface abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890
and allow for more expression, richness and variety

throughout longer digital communications. It should ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
be used to highlight or express specific messages abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890
and should never dominate over Arial.
DOCUMENTARY STYLE
Our images reflect real people in a real world and should feel
documentary in style. They capture the activity and energy
amongst our people and a variety of environments throughout
our network. Avoid staged emotions, scenarios and settings.
VIVID COLOURS
We use images which contain the vivid colours of life. Images
that add colour and personality to every page of editorial or
advertising in print and online. Avoid washed out colours.
NATURAL LIGHT
Use natural light in our day time images. In some environments
where there is not much light available it may be necessary
to create a feeling of light and brightness, but it must look
natural.
PEOPLE INTERACTING
We show people connecting with other people and interacting
at work in a candid and honest way. Avoid staged emotions,
scenarios and settings.
