The elements depicted represent the signage system employed at all Henkel sites around the world. The integrating design element is the header in Henkel red.
This carries the destination information and, visible from a good distance, enables straightforward orientation.
Depending on situation and necessity, pylons and signs may be located at entrances, turnings, intersections, or destination points.

Specials:
The color scheme is characterized by a high proportion of white contrasted with the corporate color, Henkel red.
The use of white as the predominant color keeps the corporate design concise, light, and bright.
Henkel red as the header color generates a signal effect and increases the long-distance recognizability of pylons and signs.
Black typography color is to be used on the information panel.
Please see the colors section for more information on our brand colors.
The Windows typeface Segoe UI is used for the typography on all elements of the signage system.
Two different typestyles are available for use:
- First hierarchical level: Bold
- Second hierarchical level: Regular.
Dual-language inscriptions:
Only at sites at which English is the national language should the inscriptions on pylons and signs be in that single language. Otherwise, inscriptions must be in two languages, with the second language always English.
First language: national language
Second language: English
