Valspar products coat a wide variety of structures. To visually express this, we've created six patterns, each with a different focus. Made up of abstract, overlapping shapes pulled from our core businesses, these patterns add dimension and a "blueprint" element to our visual identity system.
NOTE: PATTERNS SHOULD NOT BE MODIFIED OR BROKEN APART INTO SEPARATE ELEMENTS. Patterns can be increased or decreased in size, as long as the line thickness remains 0.5pt, but they should not be modified, separated into individual elements or rotated.
Sweeping curves and angles represent characteristics of The Valspar Corporation — global, flexible, streamlined, structured and evolving.
From residential to commercial this pattern reflects the interior and exterior profiles of buildings and houses.
Curvilinear and sleek, this pattern reflects the lines of the modern auto.
Hints at the array of surfaces Valspar products coat, from appliances and equipment to buildings.
Free-flowing shapes reminiscent of cylindrical and other packaging structures.
Captures the angles and curves of wood surfaces, from kitchen cabinets to furniture.
Patterns are made up of 0.5 pt. black lines. They are placed on top of fields of color and white. Scale the patterns so that they maintain the integrity of a thin line.
Opacity Effect
Pattern is placed over color field with a Multiply Effect of 40 percent opacity in Adobe InDesign. The multiply effect allows the pattern lines to visually recede into the background.
Position the patterns in a portion of the main surface.
Only a section of a pattern should be used. This section should bleed off the edge of the surface.
Patterns should be set behind images and the black bar.
Don't use in a thick line or color.
Don't use individual pieces of the pattern.
Don't use over a photo.
Don't use entire pattern centered on a surface.
Pattern should always bleed off an edge.
