Graphic patterns

We have created a suite of graphic patterns for use within divisional communications. These patterns are based on the expertise and craft that goes into Currency design and innovative Authentication solutions.

The fine detailed patterns add sophistication and depth to our visual identity. There are two patterns for Currency and three for Authentication materials. These patterns should not be used for any other purpose and should only be used by the specified division. All patterns will be provided as vector artwork and should not be edited or recreated.

To ensure the patterns have an elegant and consistent visual approach, we use individual transparency settings, as shown here, when placing each pattern artwork into design layouts.

Authentication

Pattern 1 - Brand protection

100% opacity

Pattern 2 - Government revenue solutions

50% opacity

Pattern 3 - ID Security solutions

50% opacity

Currency

Pattern 1

50% opacity

Pattern 2

50% opacity

These images are not suitable to use as artwork as they are low resolution, non-transparent rasters.. Appropriate artwork can be found in the Brand Resources SharePoint, or can be made available to external users on request

What not to do

In order for the patterns to reinforce a sense of expertise and sophistication throughout our division communications, they need to be applied consistently across all De La Rue communications.

These examples show ways in which the patterns should not be used.

1. Do not change colour	2. Do not change line weight	3. Do not place on other colour backgrounds	4. Do not place on white background
5. Do not place over other gradients	6. Do not place over imagery	7. Do not place text directly over patterns	8. Do not stretch or distort
