The Design Principles are meant to provide a precise outline of the conceptual and aesthetic universe of our Brand Marque. Therefore, they must be the starting point for the development of any creative material. The objective is to maximize our DBAs. Please use illustrations, Dinos, Claims, etc from guidelines/brandbook.
The massive presence of our Dino in all touchpoints generated brand and product recognition and consistency. We explore cuts, angles and poses in a giant approach. Dino's striking friendly face in close-ups is our highlight. Creativity is unleashed to customize Dino for different moments and needs. How do we show it visually: - Dino has the main role; he is the main visual asset and takes precedence over any other graphic element - Giant Dino on packaging
The childhood-inspired handcrafted style, with crayon finishes and its imperfections, brings spontaneity and genuine grace. It connects with the children's universe for its freedom and the multiple possibilities of ludic experimentation. And even the most geometric shapes gain this feeling without losing their simplicity. How do we show it visually: - Crafted elements (Dino, illustrations, arc, circle and pack shapes) - Typography and photography “manual" interventions - Watercolor backgrounds
We bring the children’s way of being to the identity. It is this look that goes along with each child on their journey of learning and solid growth. Naturally lit, high-spirited, playfull and imaginative. Enriched with an impact color palette, we build a welcoming and remarkable language for children. How do we show it visually: - More natural and relaxed photographic direction - Color palette - Characters active and positive attitude
With the new Visual Identity, we aim to maximize our DBAs to speed up the recognition of our brand and products. It is important to use them correctly, following the brandbook guidelines and color palettes. Do not alter color, shapes, elements or size. Cutting shapes is only allowed if by doing so they do not lose recognition. DINO is our main DBA - there is a chapter in this portal about it. For the rest of main DBAs:
The Brand Marque is the most important brand asset on pack. It must be big and bold and placed in the most noble area of all: in the center of FOP, and at the top. There can be no element overlapping the logo, as it is the main foreground element. The width of the Brand Marque must occupy at least 60% of the width of the FOP. Please refer to brandbook pages 17-21 for guidelines and local adaptations. Layout guidelines, size guidelines and placement in different formats specified in brandbook page 20-21.
The shape of the cup is an iconic asset, as it represents our brand even when there is no logo visible. It refers to the cheese little cups that kids adore. The aim is to maximize the use of this DBA to speed up the recognition of our products and brand in our communication. It can be used for promos, campaigns, multipacks... All shapes are built according to a grid and have a specific aspect ratio. Do not try to rebuild them, use the files provided by Danone with the Brand Book. Refer to brandbook pages 59-66.
The outline of our pouch is also iconic and helps kids and parents recognize us. We aim for consistency with the use of this shape to deeper enhance its meaning. All shapes are built according to a grid and have a specific aspect ratio. Do not try to rebuild them, use the files provided by Danone with the Brand Book. In the case of the pouch, exclude the lid when adding text or graphs, use only the body for promotions, campaigns, etc. Refer to brandbook pages 59-66.
This is our Danonino Brand Marque lock-up and it is made up of three main elements:
To maintain legibility and integrity the Brand Marque has a clear space where nothing can encroach within it. The clear space is 6x thicker than word marque stroke.
This icon is an ownable Brand Marque asset that adds warmth and playfulness to the logo
The hand-drawn effect gives a crafted look and feel, making it relatable to both parents and children as it projects something human and warm.
Give priority to Brand Marque main version application on main color background and light support color background.
All Brand Marques have the word marque hand-drawn style in Reflex Blue, a main background color and an additional red element, inherited characteristics from the Danonino Global Brand Marque mentioned earlier in this manual. However we have some local particularities:
1) Pink as the main color: France and Spain
2) Blue as the main color: Germany
3) No additional element: Germany
To establish more synergy and assets in all markets, we recommend using the Global Brand Marque whenever possible, leaving the creation of local versions only for markets that have a specific need. The full portfolio of worldwide Danonino Brand Marques are shown opposite.
This rule is valid for Global Brand Marque and all Local Brand Marques as well.
The brand's minimum protection area for the main version must be 1/4 its height in all directions.
For the trace version the minimum protection area must be 1/3 its height in all directions.
Apply the Brand Marque preferably centralized according to format orientation. If it is not possible apply it on one of the corners of the layout.
Change the proportions or positioning of individual peaks.
Change the proportions or positioning of individual peaks.
Do not change the additional element, not even for a special occasion.
Do not deform or rotate the Brand Marque.
Do not change or invert the colors.
Do not apply the trace version with clear space.
Meet Dino, Danonino's lovely brand ambassador.
Dino features prominently across all of our packaging and along with our brand marque he is our key identifying asset. There is a Teen and Baby Dino and they represent a different type of activity for each Pillar, but essentially they put the fun and joy into healthy eating.
Dino has been around for quite some time and he’s pretty well-known around the world. He’s important for the brand because he represents what the brand stands for and embodies our personality. He should be our main spokesperson (or spokesdinosaur). Using Dino consistently is important. He’s an asset so, like every good parent, we need to protect him. So we’ve created some simple guidelines for everyone to follow as we move forward.
Dino's role depends on who our target audience is when communicating: Kids or their parents.
He also has specific guidelines on how he speaks and acts that are very important to keep in mind:
Our typeface is the written representation of our voice. By using type in different scales and styles we can inform, involve and excite our audiences. We express our copy in two fonts using our primary and secondary fonts and each has a specific role in the identity and packaging.
It is Danonino's main font, used both On and Off Pack. Designed by Hipopotam Studio. Available from myfonts.com
Omnes, designed by Joshua Darden, is the supporting typeface. It has versions for other alphabets besides Latin, such as Arabic and Cyrillic. It is currently available for licensing through fonts.adobe.com
Myriad Pro is the OpenType version of the original Myriad font family for Adobe Systems. It is support for Latin Extended, Greek, and Cyrillic characters. The family set includes Myriad Pro Condensed. It is currently available for licensing through fonts.adobe.com
When designing a layout with multiple text blocks, it's important to be aware of the information hierarchy. The first general rule is that only the most relevant information in layouts should use the main typeface. Other texts must be composed in the secondary one.
Headings are always set in Mrs. Lollipop, using upper and lower case and with centered paragraph style. Use Danonino Blue as a priority color and, If it's not possible, use another color from the main palette.
In order to have a well-defined hierarchy, the subheadings must be set in Omnes, preferably in a different color from the heading
Copy subheadings are set in Omnes Bold, with left alignment and always in upper and lower case.
Body text is set in Omnes Regular and always in upper and lower case. For a more informal look, they must be left aligned and without justification or hyphenation.
Our claims communicate the most important information about our products. Therefore, they have the flexibility to embrace different contents and needs, as in the examples on the side.
The size of the body text must be at least 3x smaller than the title or headline. If you want to highlight any part of the text, use a difference of at least three weights.
Graphic interventions are the visual expression of children's creativity and playfulness. In typography, they serve to highlight words and expressions, helping information hierarchy and in the rhythm of reading. There are 4 types: circle, underline, glow and dash. They can be combined to create fun and appealing titles and headlines. The ratio between font size and stroke weight is 10 to 1. For example, for a 30pt body text we use a 3pt stroke. If the headline has more than one font size, the ratio will be the largest. To make it clear that this is an interference, its color should always be different from the text, but restricted to the brand's palette.
These are the priority combinations for Danonino headlines. Whenever possible, use them and only on these 3 backgrounds: main color, support color #1 and support color #2.
In addition to the main combinations, you can also use these for more dynamism and diversity in layout compositions.
Examples:
Do not use any other alignment than centered.
Do not use doodles with different style or with same color as the text. It's also not allowed to use any other typeface other than Mrs. Lollipop.
Do not use titles and headlines in all caps.
Do not use color combinations other than the ones defined or not included in the brand's palette.
Do not apply texts over watercolored backgrounds.
Do not apply texts over Danonino Blue.

We also have a global palette, which is standard for all touch points (On pack and Off pack). However, there are country-specific options that should be used in their relevant markets. Despite the 3 variations, the rational for using colors is the same. The brand dark blue and the off white are transversal to the 3 palettes. Each palette receives an auxiliary color of the same hue as the main one (light pink or light blue).

Flavor colors are a more variable palette as it relates to the product portfolio. They are specially chosen according to the fruit and other ingredients, they can even represent mixes of ingredients. They are used almost exclusively for packaging, but can eventually be used in new flavors launch pieces.

Watercolors are a special resource to be used in packaging and some conceptual pieces. Only 2 variations are allowed: with the main color – which is the priority use – and with the light support color for non-core packaging and as an alternative contrast on off pack. It replaces the flat background color on packaging and special pieces.
