Exceptions: Sustainable technologies product brand guidelines for Power Technique
Introduction
Why
For the Power Technique Business Area, innovating to develop more energy-efficient technologies has always been at the core of our sustainable growth. Our portable products are widely recognized for being mobile, flexible and versatile. Our compressed air, energy, lighting and dewatering solutions are present and seen around the globe, and they are essential to a broad variety of sectors and industries.
Because our products are commonly seen, we aim to differentiate these new and more energy-efficient solutions with a unique visual identity that integrates distinctive elements. This renewed approach will make our technology stand out while fulfilling our efforts to remain unique.
The Atlas Copco logo and the blue line make us recognizable, distinguishing us from the competition. Expanding beyond construction, we are taking a unified approach across the business area with a common visual thread.
Scope
The new Sustainable technologies product brand guidelines is a unified brand language, providing a common branding system for Atlas Copco Power Technique’s most sustainable products.
These brand guidelines aim to standarize the visual look of the product canopies and the textual content of the labels.
These branding principles do NOT apply to diesel-driven products, unless a particular solution provides a significant reduction of local greenhouse gas emissions.

Technology icons
The icons used to represent the different technologies have to follow the global guidelines. The icons displayed on this page have been designed respecting the Atlas Copco brand guidelines.
These icons present two versions:
- With text
- Without text
Note
The design, proportion or color should NOT be changed and, when used, these icons should always respect the exact visual representation shown above.
Every icon represents a power source or technology
The icons with text are recommended for big products such as containers.
Don'ts
Recommendations when producing the labels
The thickness of the lines should not be less than 3 mm.
Sometimes, printing icons white over blue is better than cutout.
Align and size
Icon size
It is defined by the size of the Atlas Copco logotype on the flag sticker. The total width of the logotype, represented with “W“, determines the right height of the icon.
Free space/restricted area
It is defined as the distance between the two bars in the logotype, represented with“X”. By having the restrictive area (the calculated free space marked by “X”) around the icons, they are more visible and prominent.
