The Henkel logo is our communicative entry point, when communicating to our customers and business partners. Together with the business unit descriptor, it clearly identifies the sender of our communication.
A descriptor is used to identify the business unit as the direct sender. The business unit descriptor is always placed in direct visual connection with the Henkel logo and may only be used in this combination.
Depending on the format, two versions are used in communication – a combination of the Henkel logo and an one-line business unit descriptor (to be used in standard formats), and a three-line version for more extreme formats, if the minimum distance between the Henkel logo including its protection area and the business unit descriptor cannot be maintained.

Relation to the Henkel logo
The bounding box of the business unit descriptor is geared to the corresponding building module of the format. Therefore, the handling of this element in the layout is kept simple.

Endorsement logo
If the product brand is used as the main sender in the communication, a smaller version of the Henkel logo is placed in the layout to identify the umbrella brand and highlight the product brand.
Comparison of the endorsement logo and the standard logo
Standard logo: 7 building modules
Endorsement logo: 6 building modules
Endorsement logo with the one-line business unit descriptor
The endorsement logo is used exclusively in the communication of product brands.
In all other cases, the regular Henkel logo is used.
Don’ts
The descriptor must not be colored.
The minimum distance to the Henkel logo must not be undershot.
Make sure there is enough contrast.
The order in which the technology cluster brands appear should be followed when all five brands appear together: first LOCTITE, followed by BONDERITE, TECHNOMELT, TEROSON and AQUENCE. Whenever only some brands are mentioned, e.g. only TECHNOMELT and AQUENCE, the order of our technology cluster brand logos stays the same, e.g. TECHNOMELT always above AQUENCE.

All technology cluster brands exist in different color versions:
Use of the trademark symbol
The ®symbol denotes a registered trademark. As the 5 technology cluster brands (LOCTITE,
BONDERITE, TECHNOMELT, TEROSON, AQUENCE) are registered in each of the respective countries of interest, make sure to always use the logos with the ®symbol in printed and digital collateral.
If the registered trademark symbol is not used, the product name should be written in all caps to distinguish the product name from the surrounding text. This applies to running text and even to product names in tables and graphs presenting the product family.
Trademark notification
In addition, the following text should appear on all types of printed and digital matter: “Except as otherwise noted, all marks used above in this brochure/leaflet, report/data sheet etc. are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of Henkel and/or its affiliates in the US, Germany and elsewhere.”

Size ratio to the Henkel logo
Standard size
The product brands are directly related in size to the Henkel logo or the endorsement logo that is used in product communication. The standard size of the product logo is 1.5 building modules.
Scalability
The size of the product logo can be varied in the layout. If there is sufficient space to place the logo, the logo size can be increased.
The minimum size of the product brands of 1.5 building modules must not be undershot.
Logo in digital media
Online it’s impossible to orchestrate the brand experience with the same level of precision as in print. Maintaining an immersive brand presence across various user interfaces requires a balanced approach to how you scale master and product brand logos – and how you time their exposure. The 1.5 rule doesn’t apply here, so you need to be extra careful.
Technology cluster brand manuals are important documents that sum up facts, global guidelines, and rules to be applied on nomenclature and product grouping related to the leading 5 technology cluster brands (AQUENCE, BONDERITE, LOCTITE, TECHNOMELT, TEROSON).
