1.1 Principles: Introduction
Affinion is the leading global provider of comprehensive loyalty and customer engagement solutions. We help companies increase acquisition, enhance customer satisfaction and retention, and improve overall customer profitability.Our products and services offer natural brand-extension programs to over 5,500 marketing partners, enabling their customers to protect the lives they’ve built, and forge new memories with friends and loved ones using robust and rewarding customized services. Affinion is the driving engine of opportunity for partners to offer their customers value outside the “walls” of their core-business or physical outlet.
The Affinion brand reflects this role as it represents the flexibility, optimism and can-do attitude of the people who fulfill it – our brand is our most important asset. It’s the face and personality we express in every contact with partners, prospects, customers and employees. It’s conveyed each time we answer the phone, provide information or insights, or develop marketing material, communications and proposals.
Our brand is: TrustedContemporary DependableInnovative ApproachableDynamic Global
To our partners, our brand embodies our commitment to anticipate and meet their changing needs. To our organization, it represents the deep-rooted strategy we use to address those needs in a manner that reflects our values and integrity.
We created these guidelines to ensure that we always remain true to our brand, and the people, products and services it represents.

1.2 Principles: Brand Value Proposition
OFFICIAL PROPOSITION
The Global Leader in Customer EngagementThe introduction of our brand value proposition provides the framework for how we communicate with partners and customers in a single, consistent voice. When combined with related graphics and design, the messages of the value proposition contribute to building and maintaining Affinion’s brand. Our story – any conversation about us – should begin with the value to our partners and their customers – their needs and how our expertise and commitment delivers results, driving product relevance, revenue, and loyalty. Our brand value proposition aligns our capabilities with what our partners have told us they need and want.
KEY ATTRIBUTES
Unparalleled Expertise Personal Commitment Customer-Centric05
1.2
Our knowledge, experience, and scale combine to deliver expertise that powers consultative solutions to fit specific needs and market segments.
“ Affinion is a RESPONSIVE partnerthat comes to us with ideas and solutions that help us stay fresh and relevant to our customers.”
We are always looking ahead and finding fresh new ways to create value and grow our clients’ businesses as well as our own. We are ready and willing to take on change.
“ Affinion gets it. They understand ourbusiness and our customers. They know what we need and invest themselves in our success. They are trusted BRAND AMBASSADORS and partners.”
We work closely with every partner to tailor our industry-leading, comprehensive products and services to help them build deeper, more meaningful relationships with their customers.
“ Affinion has great ideas that are alignedwith our core products and our strategic objectives. They deliver a POSITIVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE we’re proud to put our name on.”
T H E G L O B A L L E A D E R I N C U S T O M E R E N G A G E M E N Twww.affinion.com
1.3 Principles: Our Personality
We are energetic, connected, and inspired. We create avenues to opportunity and unite to surpass hurdles. We listen to understand, then act to represent. As “brand ambassadors,” or efforts bring together partners, products, and consumers – driving transactions, loyalty, and retention.We are confident problem-solversWe will be direct and honest. Engaged and engaging. We’ll work to understand what matters to our partners and their customers. We embrace a realistic sense of optimism and achievement...driven by the confidence we have in our ability to deliver results.
We speak to the pointOur communication (both B2B and B2C) is clear and centric to the value and benefits we offer our partners and their customers. We avoid lengthy business clichés and overly complex promotions.
We have a dynamic visual styleIn cases of self-promotion where it’s inappropriate to showcase partner-branded efforts, the visual architecture detailed in these guidelines should serve as the framework for all Affinion communications.
The color palette, converging band treatment, and interjectional dynamic typography work to create visual focal points within our communication pieces that are unreliant on particular imagery or tangible product photography.

3.0 Identity: Primary Affinion LogomarkOur logo is a lock-up of our name, our burst (also known as “the eyelash”), and where possible, our PMS 2955 blue. These elements work together to convey stability and energy, while alluding to the multifaceted measures by which we achieve our results.
The examples below show the acceptable color breaks and formula breakdowns for the Affinion logomark.
Primary Logomark

PMS 422 GrayCMYK: 0.0.0.33RGB: 162.165.164
Minimum Reproduction Size
The total width of the mark should be no less than 7/8”.
Clear Space & Visual Center
The distance between the tail of the eyelash and the vertical stem of the “A” must remain free of other design elements. When centering the logo, use the bowl of the “n” as your midpoint.

3.0 Identity: Primary Affinion LogomarkThe Affinion logomark may also be displayed in solid or halftones of black (100% and 33%), solid PMS 2955C/U blue (or CMYK equivalent), or shown in reverse (white or white and gray) against a complementary [solid] background tone.
Use caution when displaying the logomark against solid tones. Both the wordmark and burst graphic should have equal contrast against the background.

4.0 Typography: FontsHelvetica Neue is the lead font for all print and electronic communication.
In descriptors or lead-ins, Helvetica Neue Heavy (all caps) should be used, vertically scaled to 95% of it’s pre-set height, and tracked out accordingly based on surrounding visual space. Tracking increments anywhere from 20 to 400 can be used depending on character count.
Headlines should be set in Helvetica Neue Roman or Helvetica Neue Bold (upper and lowercase).
Depending on length of copy, body text and chart or illustration descriptions may be set in either Helvetica Neue Roman or Minion. Longer body copy is best set in Minion.
Arial is a resident Web font on nearly all the world’s personal computers, and is therefore used for “live” or “selectable” text in digital media like Web sites and PowerPoint documents. Verdana Bold may also be used if a heavier weight is needed at smaller point sizes (i.e. 10 or 11).

4.1Descriptor/Product name
For simplicity’s sake, the descriptor may have more flavor than the title. In these cases a lock-up of all caps above all lowercase should be used.

4.2 Typography: Body Copy in PrintDepending on length, body copy may be set in either Helvetica Neue or Minion. Longer copy is best set in Minion, with points of inflection or emphasis shown in Minion Bold Italic, never underlined.
While point size and leading may vary based on copy length and application, a type size of 9.5 over 12 leading should best serve both aesthetics and readability.

4.3 Typography: Dynamic TypographyTo create added interest in areas where photography or other graphic elements may not be available/best suited, a dynamic fill may be used within type. This effect may be achieved using only professional design software (Adobe® Illustrator/PhotoShop). Fill artwork is limitedto either blue, gold, or green color schemes. High resolution artwork for the converging bands of color [in these schemes], is available for download on Knowledge Central. Artwork should be angled slightly when executing this technique, mirroring the effects shown as examples below.

4.4 Typography: Special CharactersA customized bullet graphic derived from the Affinion logomark known as “the harpoon,” is available for use in print and electronic communications. The character is a stand-alone graphic (not incorporated in a typeface or as a key command), and should be used as a lead-in to secondary points of emphasis (never primary/headline).
20
4.4
The Harpoon
The harpoon graphic may be represented in any color shown throughout the Affinion color palette. The graphic is intended as an accent and should never overpower the text it points to.
Proportionately inferior to the adjacent messaging, the harpoon may act as a bullet to secondary information within body copy
The harpoon may be used as a transition or lead-in to secondary points of emphasis in presentation material. It should never be used before primary information.

5.0 Color: The Affinion PaletteThe Affinion “blue palette” should be used as the foundation for all corporate collateral. Secondary accent colors (indicated below), as well as gray and black may also be used to add distinction and variety among business-to-business materials.
For product-related sales materials, accent colors may be used as a feature color to help differentiate collateral. Refer to pages 28 - 31 for usage suggestions and examples.
The security palette should be used only for Affinion Security Center materials.

7.0 Photography: The Affinion PerspectiveThe choice of photography should suit the overall marketing purpose. While “positive” and “friendly” lifestyle images of people [conceptually] enjoying our products are preferred, some pieces of communication may be better served with “stern” or “concerned” photography (i.e. identity theft-related materials).
Images should be in-focus, contemporary, and professional in nature. Avoid hokey gestures. Depending on the purpose, photography may be color or black and white.

8.0 Anatomy: Converging Bands Of ColorHorizontal bands of color (arranged monochromatically), are a primary design element of Affinion collateral. These bands may be used as a background or at the header and footer of a page, framing the content between. The exact angle they run is at the designer’s discretion, but care should be made that the angle never appears too steep or too shallow, and always appears intentional. Bands should never criss-cross.
28

The overall shape of the overview tapers from top to bottom, mimicking the convergence theme shown through the graphics.
Bands are set in a monochromatic scheme using the Affinion blue palette. A single green band is added as an accent feature.
PRINTED CORPORATE OVERVIEW: EXTERIOR
The crop of the photo mimics the theme of convergence, wider from the left, and shorter to the right.
Bands may be layered to create a sense of depth. When framing content outside of the band, it is preferred that they run wider from the left, and shorter to the right. Content (logos/headlines/contact info, etc.) may also be run within the bands.

8.0 Anatomy: Converging Bands of ColorThe Affinion blue palette should be used extensively with primary corporate materials; however, secondary accent colors can be used throughout product-related sell sheets and communication devices. Bands should always appear monochromatic – never as a rainbow effect.
29
8.0Bands may be simplistic and solitary, enclosing only a headline and logo if desired.
When framing content not enclosed with the band, it is preferred that the angles converge from left to right – wider to the left and shorter to the right.
Accent colors may be used within product-related materials as long as a monochromatic color scheme is followed .
The Affinion logomark is set centered through the bowl of the “n.”

8.1 Anatomy: Affinion Security Center (ASC)The converging band theme is shared between Affinion and Affinion Security Center (ASC) materials. As noted on page 22, the “Security Palette” colors should be used when designing materials related to the ASC. Slate and black should be the primary tones, with the light orange and gray playing a secondary “highlight” role. Trade Gothic may be substituted for Helvetica Neue throughout ASC-branded pieces. Minion should continue to be used for bulk body copy.
