Things to be avoided graphic image and should no longer be used in the Berranger typeface.
The Purpose statement should only appear in English in its graphic form. It may be translated in copy.
The graphic image should not be incorporated in any form of copy. Within copy the statement should always be in the same type as the
surrounding text, in lower case with a capital B.
For example: Our purpose is Bringing plant potential to life. 1
The Purpose statement should only appear in two colors:

The Purpose statement should not be used as a product marketing tagline. Its usage should be carefully considered to

Template Design
Business card

Core elements
Signage is one of the core elements of a companys visual identity. It signals the companys presence to the outside world and is seen
High level illuminated signs by employees, neighbors and all those visiting a company site. In order to ensure recognition and familiarity, it is important for our signage to
achieve maximum consistency on a global scale.
Entrance signs
Syngenta uses a signage and orientation system that is based on natural human orientation patterns, that is modular and applicable for
Building signs joint sites. The functionality of the system, is built on three principles:
Signposts
- Orientation (where to go)
- Direction (how to get there)
- Identification (confirmation you have arrived in the right place)
The system offers a range of signs:

- High-level (illuminated) orientation signs
- Entrance signs for larger sites
- Signposts
- Building signs
Signs oriented to the outside world must show the Syngenta logo; once inside a Syngenta site, signs no longer need to show the logo.
An exception to this rule is on joint sites, where building signs must show the logo.

Signage
For Syngenta sites that are composed of several buildings, labs, etc., an entrance sign is used at the central access
points of these sites:
Entrance signs
Plinth
Building signs The plinth is the standard sign, unless architectural or other reasons preclude its use. The plinth is available with or
without illumination (from the base). It shows only the Syngenta logo.
Signposts
Pylon
The pylon identifies entrance and/or site. This information or any other descriptive text is applied vertically. A building
identification may be added horizontally. The pylon is available in two sizes, large and medium.
Welcome sign
If a plinth cannot be used, a welcome sign or building sign may be used instead. The welcome sign may also be used
in combination with a plinth. If this is done, the welcome sign does not show the Syngenta logo. However, if the welcome sign
is used on its own, it must show the logo. In addition, a welcome sign at the entrance may show information
(e.g. gate number) and carry the word reception in several languages.
Specifications: refer to CI site for specifications

Building signs
Signage
