Partnerships / Co-branding

We partner with many outside brands to co-sponsor different activities, events and programs. The relationships vary: sometimes the Micron brand leads, sometimes the other brand leads, and in some cases, the two brands are shown equally.

We want to represent our brand consistently in co-branding partnerships to maintain our brand equity and identity across materials.

As the leading partner


When Micron is the leading partner, our brand leads the communications. Our partners need to follow our branding criteria.

Logo proportions

As a guide, the partner logo(s) should be 60% of the size of the Micron logo.

Partner designation

An optional partner designation can be used to describe the partner relationship in more detail, e.g., ‘In partnership with’; ‘Exclusively with’; ‘A joint initiative of’, ‘In cooperation with’.

Layout position

Logos can be left aligned or bottom aligned on the page.

As an equal partner


In an equal partnership we can’t predefine who leads, but we can establish the right criteria to consider.

Note: in certain 50/50 partnerships, one brand may take the lead for commercial reasons.

For example, one brand may be better placed to attract target customers or more willing to invest in marketing.

In this case branding will follow the branding rules of the designated partner.

Logo proportions

The partner logos should be optically balanced to give each logo equal importance.

Logo positioning

The partner logos should be horizontally aligned through the center of the Micron logo.

Layout position

Logos can be on the bottom-left or bottom-right of the page.

As a minor partner


When Micron plays a minor role in a partnership, the partner’s brand leads the communications and the Micron brand follows the criteria set by the partner.

Partner designation

A partnership designation line should be used to describe Micron’s relationship and involvement in more detail e.g., ‘In partnership with’; ‘Exclusively with’; ‘A joint initiative of’; ‘In cooperation with’.

Multiple partners


When there is more than one partner listed, the size of the Micron logo will be proportional to the other logos of those who have an equal stake.

Layout position and clear space

Logos should be positioned at the bottom of the piece.

The clear space around our logo is based on the height of the letter “i” without the tittle (dot) from “micron.” Allow for double the minimum clear space when possible.

Awards


Awards are not considered a partnership and should be displayed as an award stamp or mark, not as a partnership lockup.


Things to avoid

Don’t use the co-branding graphic treatment for programs or groups.

Don’t use the co-branding graphic treatment for awards or anything but a partnership.

Don’t use the partnership division line for a multiple-partner arrangement.

Don’t lock up Micron’s logo with the partner designation.
