Disclaimer
Please note that the images and materials shown in this style guide are based on standards for advertising and trademark use in the United States. You will need to review the laws of your locale to determine if revisions are necessary to conform with applicable laws and regulations. Specific laws to be reviewed should include those concerned with truth in advertising, nutritional claims, false and misleading advertising, and trademark and copyright use. Because not all trademarks may not be used in all markets, the proper trademarks and trademark designations must be verified. For instance, SUBWAY EAT FRESH as a word mark and design mark is registered before many patent and trademark offices, but not all, therefore some markets may need to display the logo with the symbol in order to conform to local law. As these types of discrepancies are fairly prevalent, you must inquire into these types of trademark issues in order to ensure compliance with local law. Keep in mind that products may be inconsistent from market to market, both in type and availability. In order to comply with all truth in advertising laws and avoid any possibility of misrepresentation, you must ensure that the product shown is correct. An example of a type of product that may differ from market to market is chicken strips with grill marks versus chicken strips without grill marks. An example of differing product availability is that US photography shows banana peppers, but banana peppers are not available outside of the US. As such, images displaying banana peppers may not be used outside of the US, as this would constitute misrepresentation and false advertising. However, keep in mind that false and misleading advertising does not only pertain to photography and the appearance of a product, it also pertains to statements made in reference to a product, as well as any overall impression given by the advertisement. For example, using the term freshly baked bread may cause problems in some markets that have specific regulations relating to the use of this phrase. Therefore, it is vital to exercise the utmost care when examining local law on truth in advertising to ensure that all aspects of your advertisement are in compliance. Additionally, the source of the product may affect nutritional content, therefore all nutritional claims must be properly stated, substantiated, and disclaimed, where appropriate. For example, in some markets, the source of protein may result in a variance in the nutritional content of the sandwich. In light of these types of situations, it is vital to be aware of any nutritional claims and be able to substantiate, and/or disclaim them, when appropriate. To further that point, you should be aware that any nutritional or health claims made in advertisements will require substantiation, or back up, to those claims, and in most instances an appropriate disclaimer. In some markets, certain claims are prohibited altogether, so you must be aware of these prohibitions. There are also many markets in which regulations refer specifically to claims which infer health benefits related to the product. Scientific substantiation of these types of claims is generally required. For example, a claim such as a fitter, healthier you or healthier meals might require substantiation of specific health benefits and product details relating thereto. Because local regulations differ from market to market, this is a vital area of importance and one which should be handled with extreme caution.

Introduction
The Situation Subway stores open every day, all over the world, and maintaining consistency in advertising and efficiency across cultures and local agencies has been a challenge. The Goal iFAFs goal is to provide the franchisees and agencies more directionso consumers understand Subway as one brand, offering freshly made food everywhere they go. The Solution What youll find here is a set of visual equities applicable to international Subway restaurants. One look-and-feel. One message. One brand. The Subway brand was built upon freshness, customization, value, health and indulgence and in the following pages, each of these values is expressed in simple, effective creative work. Its time for a united front...welcome to the components of a stronger Subway brand.

Cambros represent freshness and customization. In this way, the other brand values are each expressed through freshness and customization. The color associated with freshness is most closely aligned with (and even interchangeable with) health, so it stays green.

Equities
Freshly Made Freshly Made is the umbrella that encompasses every Subway equity and program. Health, value and indulgence are each explained and bolstered by the idea of Freshly Madenone of them can alone articulate the Subway brand. But once paired with the idea of Freshly Made, indulgence, for example, becomes integral and ownable to the Subway brand. Freshly Made is made vivid in cambros. Each of the equity layouts are defined by an arrangement of cambros filled with fresh ingredients. So the basis of every piece of collateral is inherently Freshly Made, and its color and messaging that differentiate each of the equities.

Equities
Emerging Markets: Messaging Evolution Messaging should focus on Freshly Made and customization: made Fresh just the way you want it is the brands key point of difference. Only once this messaging has been firmly established in the minds of consumers should a market consider promoting Health. When it is the right time to create a Health message, please check with your Marketing Coordinator to make sure your country is approved for Under 6 messaging. freshly made health
FRESHLY MADE (CUSTOMIZATION) Above all else, Freshly Made is key. Customization is the brands key point of difference. Messaging should focus on consumer control, customization and freshnessall results of being individually made. Copy is clear and juxtaposed with ingredients.
HEALTH Once consumers have fully associated Subway with Freshly Made, a health message can be added to collateral.

Equities
Overview These are examples of each brand equity in layout. Please refer to the Emerging Market Guide on the Subway Partners iFAF page for further guidance in implementing these equities.
VALUE All consumers seek an affordable meal. Consumers should feel that they are either getting more for their money than they would at the competition for the same price, or that they are getting a lower price, or both. Value = Quantity + Quality + Customer Experience Price
HEALTH Health is a key Subway brand competitive advantage. Subway restaurants can provide consumers with an emotional benefit: if I eat well, Ill look good and feel good so I can perform at my best. However, Health is the most variable of the core equities. Countries will need to define what Health means to consumers in their market. In many cases it will be low fat, but not always. It is key to use this platform to convey that Subway offers healthy alternatives to the typical QSR offering, noting that the definition of what healthy is will vary from market to market. Again, for Emerging Markets, the recommendation is to focus on promoting Freshly Made instead of Health. Once the Freshly Made concept has been firmly established in the minds of consumers, the market can explore promoting basic Health programs such as Under 6.
INDULGENCE Indulgence equates to savory taste. Indulgence is key to emotional brand response including joy, brand likability, and frequency of visit. Although local taste preferences may influence what subs or taste profiles are communicated, in every country taste is the most important factor for consumers in choosing a fast food outlet.

Copy: Tone & Voice The copy seen here is for example only, because it may not always translate to the same effect. Generally, headlines should be composed with short, uncomplicated words that can fit inside the cambros. As a guideline, try pairing words with similar or alliterative sounds for increased impact and a comfortable cadence.

Veggies are never photographed whole, however sliced vegetables cut to operation spec can be used (please see the tomato on this page).
