2. 1 Introduction
Our brand identity is the face and personality we present to the
global community. It’s as important as the music we make and
the services we provide. Our identity is the total effect of our
logo(s), products, brand names, trademarks, website, social media,
presentations and parties/events: everything that represents us.
Because the MassiveMusic (MM) brand cannot be compromised,
we’ve created this guide to provide all the pertinent specifications
you need to maintain its integrity.
The guidelines in this document are not meant to inhibit, but to
improve the creative process. In fact, when used correctly,
they help to energize and invigorate the brand. By following these
guidelines, the materials you create will represent MassiveMusic
cohesively to the world.
We have tried to provide guidelines that are easy to follow.
Whenever questions arise, please ask Steve Johnsen at MM
Amsterdam for more information or contact The Stone Twins,
the agency behind the MM Brand (they’ll try to answer as
quick as possible – but, you know what they’re like).
Thank you in advance for your help in following these simple rules.
MassiveMusic.
Note: We employ the initialism MM to represent
MassiveMusic’ throughout this document –
as we’re too lazy to type MassiveMusic all the time.

6. 5 The MassiveMusic logo, affectionately known as the MM Squiggle,
is the cornerstone of our visual or brand identity. The form consists
of two conjoined M’s to suggest sound waves.
The MM logo is our signature and should never be re-drawn or
modified under any circumstances. Please always use master artwork
when reproducing the MM logo. Otherwise, we will force you into a
dark room with Miley Cyrus hits played on a continuous loop at an
excruciating volume.

These versions of the MM logo (consisting of the MM Squiggle

is unfamiliar with the MM Brand, or can’t understand semiotics.
The precise position and proportion of all the elements are
fixed and must always be reproduced in the set relationship
shown here. Please always ensure you are using the correct

8 MM Logo:
Clear Space
To ensure the integrity and visibility of the MM brand, the MM
logo must always be kept clear of competing text, images and
graphics. Think of it like the stage position of band members:
from Jagger to Jay-Z, the frontman consistently demands a
minimum clear space during a performance.
All versions of the MM logo must be surrounded on all sides
by a space equal in size to the X-height of the Squiggle.

9 MM Logo:
Minimum Size
To further ensure legibility and visibility, the MM Squiggle should
never be reproduced at a size of less than 10mm in width.
For the Horizontal version of the MM logo, the minimum size of
the Squiggle must not be smaller than 15mm in width.
11. 10 Typography (or the arrangement of type) plays an important role
in communicating an overall image and quality. Careful use of
typography reinforces our personality, and ensures clarity and
harmony in all MassiveMusic communications.
ITC Lubalin Graph ‘Extra Light’ is our primary typeface. It should
always be set in capital letters and employed as the headline font.
The ‘Book’ version can sometimes be used for support.
MM Typography:
Primary Typeface ‘ITC Lubalin Graph’
Lubalin Graph is a slab serif typeface, where the serifs are
unbracketed and similar in weight to the strokes of the letters.
The typeface was designed by Herb Lubalin and Edward
Benguiat, whilst they were listening to ‘The Way We Were’
by Barbra Streisand, in 1974.
A usage licence can be purchased at www.linotype.com

Just like band members, typefaces have different personalities and
perform specific roles. Akzidenz-Grotesk (‘Bold’ and ‘Regular’) is
our supporting typeface and used for body copy. As a sans-serif,
it is neutral, workmanlike and does not demand too much attention
(just like a good bass player).
The consistent use of the two MM typefaces allows our friends/
clients to readily recognise communication from MassiveMusic.

13. CMYK: 0/0/0/100
12 Colours, like typefaces, lead to easy recognition when used
consistently. The MM colour palette was carefully chosen to give
a cohesive brand identity.
MM’s primary colour palette is comprised of two colours:
MM Orange and MM Black. The MM logo should be reproduced
in the most vibrant orange possible. Colour occurs in many forms,
e.g. as printing ink on paper, as foil for a DJ bag and pixels on a
screen. This document outlines colour specifications for all media,
except tattoo inks/pigments.
MM Colour Palette:
Primary
RGB: 255/55/0
CMYK: 0/75/100/0
Pantone: Orange 021 C
RGB: 0/0/0
CMYK: 0/0/0/100
Pantone: Black
In some situations, it may not be possible to reproduce
the MM logo in orange - if so: please reproduce the logo
in 100% black, and never a tint. Thanks.
14. 13 As mentioned previously, colour is one of the most powerful
visual components of a company’s brand. Colour inspires emotion
and provides clear and immediate recognition. The below palette
shows the complimentary colours for the MM brand identity.
These colours are generally associated with energy, excitement,
and the skin tones of Oompa Loompas.
MM Colour Palette:

RGB: 255/100/0
CMYK: 0/60/100/0

RGB: 255/150/20
CMYK: 0/40/90/0
RGB: 210/105/30
CMYK: 0/50/86/18
Note: White is an important colour in the brand identity
(e.g. stationery items) that is used to create contrast and an open
feeling. Alternatively, a dominant use of black (e.g. website)
is used to create an atmosphere of sophistication and innovation.
15. 14 MassiveMusic’s communications get straight to the point with
an attitude of confidence and intelligence, sprinkled with a little
bit of irreverence. MassiveMusic communicates in a voice that’s
more conversation than corporation.

21. 20 Website The design of the MM website adheres to durable and functional
modernist principles (a ‘less is more’ philosophy). Just like
great rhythm sections, the design provides a foundation to allow
the award-winning showreel to revel in its glory.

Website
(Copywriting + Creative)
Creative copywriting plays an important, yet subtle, role in the
MM website. Unique features such as ‘Image ON/OFF’ and the
dynamic ‘Brand Proposition’ statement amplify the creativity, fun
and irreverence of the people behind MassiveMusic.
Dynamic Brand Proposition:
based on iconic song lyrics.
Unique ‘Image ON/OFF’ feature
highlights the music/soundscapes.
23. 22 Digital Newsletter For the email newsletter, the template design follows a strict grid
to allow the great projects to shine. Once again, copywriting plays
an important role in conveying personality and attitude.

RFP RESPONSE – SONIC BRANDING PROJECT PROPOSAL – 26.11.14
MassiveMusic is a music agency with offices in
Amsterdam, London, New York, LA and Shanghai. We
believe that the power of music within a branded world
is ever growing. Music can play a vital role in achieving
a more emotional and profound connection between
brands and their audiences. We love making this
happen. Working with a network of creative-, strategy-
and legal/rights experts. By searching, writing and
producing music for picture. Working with scouts, acts
and a huge pool of exclusive composers and sound
designers, all over the world.
ABOUT
RFP RESPONSE – SONIC BRANDING PROJECT PROPOSAL – 26.11.14
We at MassiveMusic have been working closely with the
partners since 2012 to assist with the audio part of the
development of a brand refresh for ABC. We incorporated
our own unique approach to sonic branding. With the
partner’s visual development process, we have now
reached a point where the actual creation of the sonic
branding assets and deliverables can be created. This
RFP response aims to provide a brief overview of
MassiveMusic, its operational structure, experience and
credentials, along with a review of our work on the ABC
sonic branding so far.

SONIC SCAN
The first step was to gather as much information as possible,
to make sure we knew where we were going. This sonic scan consisted of:
An historical audit: an in depth evaluation of the audio that was
used for the ABC brand in the past and what is used today.
A benchmark audit: an analysis of the competitive landscape in
the audible domain.
Touch point analysis: a list of needed deliverables and possible
utilities of the new Colagte’s sound.
Brand analysis: an analysis of the initial briefing, the brand book,
the style guide, the brand values, the target group, the mission
statement, the strategic visions, etc.

28. 27 For all social media pages, please use the MM logo as the ‘Profile

current campaign. The result is a brand identity that is unified yet not
uniform; coherent but not monotonous. A bit like Lady Gaga, actually.

Similar to the MM website, employ the filter option ‘turn off

Sometimes subtitles can be used for added effect.
For titles use the font ‘ITC Lubalin Graph’, set in Caps.
The end frame should always feature the MM logo with
wordmark (stacked version), positioned in the center of
the screen.

precious when using the MM logo and typefaces: be original
