A NEW LOOK 

The Motorola corporate signature is among the most

recognized brand symbols in the world. Since its intro-

duction in the 1950s, the design of the signature has

evolved as our company and markets have changed.

We are introducing another evolutionary change at this

time. The change involves a slight modification to the

emsignia (batwing) logo and the addition of the brand

promise phrase, Intelligence Everywhere ™ .

These changes to the Motorola corporate signature

were driven by our strategy to unify marketing efforts,and to have all business units go to market as One

Motorola. Central to this strategy was the introduction

of the Intelligence Everywhere ™  brand promise. The

objective of the brand promise is to provide the unifying

“umbrella” for our rather diverse set of products and

services. It enables all Motorola businesses to

communicate a consistent Motorola brand message.

Intelligence Everywhere ™  is a shorthand way of

expressing the human benefits of our technology –

the technology that makes things smarter and life

better for people.

In March 2001, Motorola launched an advertising

campaign to introduce the Intelligence Everywhere ™ 

brand promise and a new Intelligence Everywhere ™  logo

It was our hope and intention that this new Intelligence

Everywhere ™  logo would carry our message around the

world and replace the traditional Motorola identity as

the “signoff” to our advertising and other marketing

applications. Since the launch we have learned that

the logo was not accomplishing that objective.

Consequently, we revised the approach to ensure we

clearly communicate the association of brand Motorolaand our brand promise, Intelligence Everywhere ™ .

The result is this new look to the Motorola corporate

signature.

We will continue to use the Intelligence Everywhere ™ 

logo at Motorola-branded venues such as trade shows

and events, and on internal applications.

The following pages contain all the details for proper

application of these logos. Please review these

guidelines and make sure all members of your team

understand and apply them to all applicable situations

3.6 The Primary Square 

The Motorola corporate signature consists of the

custom designed logotype and emsignia, which is

a stylized “M” contained in a solid disc. “Emsignia”

is a word coined at Motorola for our unique symbol,

sometimes call the “batwing,” “M symbol” or “circle

M.” The Motorola corporate signature will be used

in all situations. It will also be the identifier on our

products.

There are two permitted configurations of the

Motorola corporate signature: horizontal and vertical.

The horizontal version is preferred in all applications.

If the vertical version is the only option, the emsignia

is centered above the logotype. This version may be

used in applications where space is limited, such as a

tall and narrow usage area. In all other cases, it may

be appropriate to emphasize the Motorola emsignia.

No other relationships of these two identity elements

are to be used. Consistent use of these configurations

will ensure the integrity and memorability of the

Motorola signature.

Please use only approved master reproduction art

and follow explicitly all standards and specifications

outlined in these guidelines.

Horizontal configuration – preferred

Vertical configuration – should be used only

when there are spatial constraints

The Motorola signature with the Intelligence 

Everywhere ™  brand promise consists of three

components: a solid disc emsignia, the Motorola

logotype, and the words Intelligence Everywhere ™ .

Size and spatial relationships referenced on the following

pages must be followed. The Intelligence Everywhere ™ 

brand promise will be presented around the world in

an English-only version. The only exception to this rule

is that we will permit translation into French-Canadian

for use in Quebec and into Chinese, as translation is

a legal or commercial requirement in these countries.Artwork for translations is located on the Corporate

Identity intranet site at http://identity.mot.com.

The Motorola emsignia, logotype and brand promise,

and their relationships to each other, were carefully

developed to express our name and brand image. They

must not be re-created, redrawn or reconfigured under

any circumstances. Please use only approved master

reproduction art and follow explicitly all standards

and specifications outlined in these guidelines.

ACCEPTABLE CONFIGURATIONS 

There are two permitted configurations of the Motorola

signature with the Intelligence Everywhere ™  brand

promise: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal

version is preferred in all applications.

If the vertical version is the only option, the emsignia

is centered above the logotype with the brand promise

centered below the logotype. This version may be used

in applications where space is limited, such as a tall

and narrow usage area. No other relationships of these

three identity elements are to be used. Consistent use

of these configurations will assure the integrity andmemorability of the Motorola signature and brand promise.

Horizontal configuration – preferred

Vertical configuration – should be used only

when there are spatial constraints
