Design and History
Oceaneering’s official brand guidelines, published on its corporate website, state that the Oceaneering brand is associated with strength, quality, and reliability, and that consistent usage of the logo is a key part of maintaining that brand. The guidelines identify the Oceaneering logo as the only approved logo for the company [2].
The logo is a registered trademark of Oceaneering International, Inc. [3]. The company’s brand guidelines specify that the ® registration mark must always be displayed when the logo is used [2].
Oceaneering’s official brand guidelines provide detailed specifications for logo usage across media. The minimum logo size on printed media is 0.75 inches (19 mm) wide, and the minimum size in digital media is 100 pixels wide. When placed on photographs, the logo should be positioned on a clean and uncluttered area [2].
Meaning and Symbolism
Oceaneering’s brand guidelines describe the company’s brand as being associated with strength, quality, and reliability [2]. The guidelines also note that colors offer an instantaneous method for conveying meanings and messages without words [2].
The company’s primary logo color is PMS 302 C, a deep blue with the hex value #003b5c. This blue logo is the preferred version and should be used on a white background whenever possible. A white version of the logo is specified for use on dark-colored backgrounds, and a black version is optional for use on white or light-colored backgrounds [2].
Typography and Design
Oceaneering’s brand guidelines specify a defined corporate font: Din OT, used for design purposes. The preferred weights are bold, medium, regular, and light. The guidelines state that consistent use of the typeface reinforces the Oceaneering brand identity [2].
The brand guidelines also define three primary colors beyond the logo blue: PMS 2965 C (hex #00263e), used mainly for equipment and solid-blue backgrounds; PMS 123 C (hex #ffc72c), a yellow used sparingly in illustrations and infographics; and PMS 302 C (hex #003b5c), the logo color. Secondary and tertiary colors are also specified for headings, links, and contrast use [2].
