BRAND IDENTITY LOGOTYPE ONVARIOUSBACKGROUNDS To ensure the best possible visibility of the logotype, there must always be maximum contrast between the background and the logotype, according to the rules and methods detailed here. CAUTION In addition to the density calculation of the background, the eye of the creative as well as the perception of contrast are also criteria for validation.
1. In Photoshop, use the eye dropper tool to measure the CMYK value of the darkest area of the background.
2. Then convert this value into grayscale: the result is a percentage.
EXAMPLE A
Grayscale
EXAMPLE B
Grayscale
3. Apply the right version after grayscale conversion as follows:
100%
If this percentage is between 100% (black background) and 25%, the logo version should be in white.
69%
A
white logo
If this percentage is between 0% (white) and 24%, the logo version should be in colour.

When producing an event, you have to carefully oversee every single element. It involves studying the intricacies of the brand, strictly adhering to the brand identity, understanding the target audience, de fi ning the event objectives, devising the event concept, planning the logistics, selecting suppliers, negotiating costs with vendors, managing the budget, assigning roles and responsibilities, managing the timelines and production schedule, as well as coordinating the technical aspects and ensuring that all the elements are in sync.
Remember, the awless execution of each detail, along with the smooth coordination between the different components are critical to the success of your event.
Majid Al Futtaim Retail holds events of various types and sizes for a variety of reasons: to generate sales or make announcements; a project expansion, a product or service, etc. These events help build great relationships with customers, business partners, employees, media and the public at large.

EVENTS
TYPES OF IN-STORE EVENTS: • Store openings • Store tours with speeches
• Sponsorship events • Cross promotions
RIBBON CUTTING: For store openings, in the event the program includes a ribbon cutting ceremony please consider below: • There should be a pair of large novelty golden scissors presented on top of a blue coloured cushion placed on a silver tray • There should be a host/hostess, or someone dedicated to hand over the tray with the scissors to the ribbon cutter and to receive the scissors when the cutting is done • The preferred ribbon colour is blue and stretched across the dedicated area, held up by posts. Ribbon colour can be changed in case of certain themes (eg. Green ribbon for sustainability events) CAKE CUTTING: If the event includes cake cutting, the Carrefour logo should only be printed on the cake and never handwritten. Please use the primary Carrefour logo for this purpose. FOOD: When selecting the food and beverages to be served at the event, always keep the cultural needs and general palette preferences of your guests in mind. • For pass arounds, make sure to have one type of food on one tray. Do not mix food on the same tray • It's preferred to provide a vegetarian option on your menu • Sample your selected menu at least a week prior to the event • Freshly squeezed juices, sparkling water and sodas are all acceptable as soft drink options • Use Carrefour private label products when there’s an opportunity to do so • Never, under any circumstances, serve pork and alcohol or any of its derivatives in the food

EVENTS
PROMOTERS: • Promoters for events must be hired from a reputable company and not sourced on an individual basis • Grooming is vital for the promoter’s appearance. Flashy nail polish, jewellery, visible tattoos, etc. is not acceptable • Heavy perfume or makeup is not acceptable and should be appropriate for a business event • Nails should not be long and should be cut and clean • Long earrings are not acceptable • Dress code: should be respectful of local norms BRANDING AT EVENTS: The use of Carrefour branding or Majid Al Futtaim co-branded event collateral is dependent on the type of event you are organising. Please see below recommendations: • If the event is a B2B (Business to Business), B2G (Business to Government) or B2E (Business to Employees), the branding needs to be Majid Al Futtaim led with Carrefour as a sub brand • If the event is B2C focused, the branding needs to be Carrefour branded only
The only exception to the rule is if the event is held in Qatar where we do not featureMajid Al Futtaim branding across any business unit.

Partner – where the event is created or designed by a third party and we are invited as partners. Generally, there are different levels of sponsorship associated with this type of sponsorship (title, gold, silver…etc).

SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES
BRANDING CONSIDERATIONS: • Always make sure to strictly adhere to our brand guidelines • Be sure to follow the logo guidelines and use the logos correctly • Use the correct color breakdown on all collateral • Use the correct fonts throughout your communications • Tone of voice must be consistent across all communications
PARTNERSHIPS AND CO-BRANDING Strong partnerships help the Carrefour brand connect with our communities and bring new experiences to our customers. There are several types of partnerships, from sponsorships to charity events to joint ventures, with co-branding happening at different levels. We must take great care as to how we combine the different brand marks, ensuring we maintain the integrity of both brand identities in the process.
Regardless of the form it takes, it is essential that the Carrefour brand is clearly and consistently represented at all times in co-branded communication.
The following pages provide guidance on how to make our brand work effectively in both Carrefour-driven co branded communications and partner-driven co-branded communications.
PARTNERSHIPS AND CO-BRANDING LOGO PLACEMENT GUIDELINES In a logo lock-up, partner or sponsor logos can sit above, below or to either side of the Carrefour logo, along a balanced axis but must not encroach upon the clear space area de fi ned earlier.

APPLYING PARTNER BRAND TO CARREFOUR-DRIVEN COMMUNICATIONS Carrefour-driven communications use our brand look and feel, but must maintain the integrity of the partner’s brand mark and abide by any existing or agreed upon co-branding rules. APPLICATIONS: • Always use the correct logo format of our partner and adhere to any logo exclusion zone rules. • When the application calls for a brand colour (i.e. blue) or an image background, the partner logo must be applied in white. • When the application calls for a white background (or is mandated by the partners co-branding rules), the partner logo must be applied in full color. • Always follow our guidelines for setting the clear space around the logo.

SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES
APPLYING THE CARREFOUR BRAND TO PARTNER-DRIVEN COMMUNICATIONS Partner-driven communications use the partner brand look and feel, but must maintain the integrity of our brand mark. Our logo should not be tarnished or negatively impacted by the creative. APPLICATIONS: • Always use the correct logo format. Our standard logo is our primary and preferred option unless size and placement dictates otherwise. • Always adhere to our logo exclusion zone. • When applied over a solid color or an image, use our white logo (primary and preferred option). Ensure that the
image area where the logo is placed is not too busy and of a consistent tone. • When applied over a white background, use the Carrefour full color logo. • Only use the black logo when the application is in grayscale.
• The brand logo can be positioned diagonally opposite from the partner’s logo, e.g. the partner logo in the top left corner, our logo in the bottom right, or in a “lock-up” with the partner logo. Always ensure the two logos are balanced in size and follow our guidelines for setting the clear space around the logo.
