PARTNERSHIP LOGOS ALTERNATIVE Following partner feedback it s clear that the filled background logo in a box doesn t always work on all applications. As a result, we have designed some alternative solutions this season to offer some flexibility. Please speak with your Partnership Manager who can advise on the most effective solution whilst ensuring consistency throughout. To retain visual simplicity, this logo does not include an integrated designation, please ensure that the relevant designation (e.g. Team Partner) is referenced elsewhere in the creative.

PARTNERSHIP LOGOS CLEAR SPACING The Partnership logo should always be surrounded by at least the minimum area of space shown above. This safe area of isolation ensures that headlines, text or other visual elements do not encroach on the logo. The safe area is defined by the x measurement shown below. A margin of clear space equivalent to x is drawn around the logo to create the invisible boundary of the area of isolation. x x x x x x x x x x x T E A M P A R T N E R I NNOVATION PARTNER x x x x

IMAGERY ASTON MARTIN RED BULL RACING
THE CAR ASTON MARTIN RED BULL RACING TAG HEUER RB14 Aston Martin Red Bull Racing s 2018 challenger, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB14, is a powerful asset and the following guidelines should assist in positioning the car in an effective way. The permanent livery is pictured below. Where possible, please avoid using imagery from races in which the car is carrying temporary branding, this will enable longevity and consistency across all marketing communications throughout the season. No imagery of previous Red Bull Racing cars should be used, unless positioned in a historical context and agreed with your Partnership Manager. Please ensure that images of the RB14 are not blurred, Partners logos are not altered or obscured and that key colours of the Car and Partners logos are not changed in any way.
PHOTOGRAPHY CAR CUT OUTS Consider using studio shots wherever possible. Please use the RB14, with current livery (older cars may be used in a historical context). In total there are five angled shots per driver which can all be found on Content Pool. https://www.redbullcontentpool.com
PHOTOGRAPHY CAR CROPPING & BLURRING Please ensure that images of the RB14 are not blurred, Partner logos are not altered or obscured and that key colours of the Car and Partner logos are not changed in any way. Ideally a minimum of three quarters of the car should be shown. Cropping Blurring
THE DRIVERS Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are this season s Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Drivers. It is important that the drivers are used in equal prominence across your marketing material and that the use of the images in any communication is fair and representative. When using images of the drivers, either individually or together, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Partnership logo should be included in the creative. Guidelines are the same as when using imagery of the car or team members. Sebastien Buemi is our Test and Reserve Driver, and David Coulthard is an Ambassador for Red Bull. Should you need to feature these Drivers in promotional activity please contact your Partnership Manager, who will be able to assist in sourcing suitable imagery.

THE TEAM SPIRIT The Team is made up of more than 850 people, working either at the track or based at the factory in Milton Keynes. Everything we do is a team effort requiring each and every member of the Team to perform. Although the Drivers often take the plaudits, we race and celebrate as one.
PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM When using images of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team, a minimum of three Team members must be present in the shot.
PHOTOGRAPHY LIVE Race shots from every race weekend are always available. Some are action, some are artistic and some are for specific requirements, such as Partner requests.
