How to use this guide
Communication consistency is important for any brand, but particularly for a new brand like
Xumo. Rules for logo, color, typography, tone and voice, etc. should apply consistently, whether
on a banner ad or a Big Game spot. This brand guide should serve as your creative point of
truth. If you have questions on executions, please contact Analia Benedetti or Eileen Hwang.

Tagline not yet approved
Tagline
Our tagline is an invitation to enjoy
the moment, with family and friends

Master logo color variants
The full-color version of the master
logo is the preferred mark. It must be
used against light backgrounds only.
For dark backgrounds, use the full-
color reverse logo.
The one-color logos should only be
used with busier backgrounds, or when Full-color Full-color reverse
the background does not provide
enough contrast with the full-color
logos, as well as on hardware.

Pairing logos with our colors
Following the instructions on the
previous page, always select the
version of the logo that provides
enough contrast with the background.
NOTE: The logo/background color
combinations crossed out at right
cannot be used because they either
have poor contrast or the background
color is one of the main logo colors,
Berry and Teal. The logos not crossed
out are acceptable.

Brand extension logos Horizontal (preferred) Stacked (use only when space
does not permit horizontal)
The Xumo TV brand extension logo N/A
is available in horizontal orientation
only. All other logos are offered in
both horizontal (preferred use) and
stacked versions. Use the stacked
version only when space doesn’t
permit a horizontal logo.
All brand extension logos are
available in the same four colors as
the master logo (see next page).
The Xumo Enterprise logo should
only be used in internal corporate
and trade-facing communications,
never on marketing materials.

Creating brand extension logos
As Xumo grows, the need to create
new brand extension logos will occur.
NOTE: New extension logos require
brand team permission.

determine the space between logo
and type
• Create four colorways following the

Typography
Typography is the handwriting of the brand. Our font was chosen to convey
sophisticated simplicity and approachability when delivering important messages. It
complements rather than competes with the visuals, keeping print and digital
spaces clean and uncluttered.
Confidential. All rights reserved. p.24/43
Brand font
The official font for the Xumo brand is
Work Sans, a modern, welcoming and
legible typeface. It is available in a range
of weights, making it highly versatile.
Work Sans should be used for all
marketing communications, including
websites, social media, display banners,
email, print and packaging. Also use it for
internal documents, such as PowerPoint
presentations.
Headlines - Bold in most cases. For very
large and very short headlines, ExtraLight
is also acceptable.
Subheadlines – Light.
Body copy – Light or Regular.
Download Work Sans for free from
Google Fonts.
Confidential. All rights reserved. p.25/43
Using font weights and sizes
Use this guide to ensure consistency of
our brand font across all communications.
This can be used for a variety of needs,
from website, social and banner design to
print, outdoor and packaging.
Important notes:
ExtraLight - Only for very large sizes.
ExtraLight and Light - Don’t use for very
small type. It will be illegible.
Light and Regular - For longer text blocks,
like body copy.
SemiBold and Bold - Reserve for shorter
snippets of type, like headlines and
headers. Avoid using for long or very large
copy, as it can feel like shouting.

Tone & voice
You can tell a lot about a person by their tone of voice. Same goes for brands. Tone
and voice are the brand’s personality. What it says and how it’s said. For a brand
that customizes and delivers entertainment, the voice should sound very familiar
and have a tone that’s reassuring.

Photography
Xumo is about quality time spent with
friends, family or just yourself. Hence,
the images should be warm and inviting.
They should also feel authentic, so the
viewer can easily picture themselves in
the scene. The lighting should look
natural, whether day or night. And since
everyone can enjoy Xumo, always strive
for diversity of age, ethnicity and gender.
When possible, use an image that
features a Xumo co-branded TV.
Confidential. All rights reserved. p.34/43
The chevron
Part of what makes the Xumo brand
distinctive is the colorful chevron in our
logo. Utilize this shape as a mask to
showcase our content. You can fill the
entire shape with one image, or use both
halves to show two images, as shown here
(1). It’s also acceptable to let parts of the
artwork, like a head, elbow or ball, extend
outside of the chevron shape (2).

Using the chevron like this makes it detail-
rich, so apply it only against a solid color (3).
Avoid busy backgrounds.
3 4 Never use a chevron mask as part of the full logo.
Make the chevron very large (60–80% of the
size of your layout), and never use it as part
of the full logo (4).
NOTE: The chevron alone is not enough to
add Xumo branding to a layout. Always
include a smaller Xumo logo somewhere in
your design (5).
