Corporate design manual? |? Siemens-Electrogeräte GmbH? |?PoS Three-dimensional PoS materials Overview The product should always be in the foreground, so three-dimensional PoS materials are used as support, to present the product as advantageously as possible. The elements of 2D design are used as far as possible, but adapted to the specific requirements of the item at hand. The options are described on the next pages. To avoid over-using the Siemens logo, it should appear only on selected PoS elements. The logo?/?layer form or Siemens logo is always positioned asymmetrically. The design idiom and materials of PoS elements must be chosen to reflect the brand attributes: Design idiom • Clear, reduced forms • Orthogonal basic geometry Materials • High-quality and sustainable • Timeless and modern • Smooth, largely homogeneous surfaces • Materials that allow repeat use and precise manufacture Working status of October 2011 97
