Brand Standards - Staying True to Gates

As the Gates brand continues to grow in acceptance and usage around the world, it’s important for us to remember that our brand has value. Our customers, associates, the media, and general public all form opinions of our company by how we define and portray ourselves. With this in mind, we remind everyone to review the brand standards published on this site, and use the brand files and templates provided in the Downloads Section whenever you are producing something that represents Gates, either in print, on the web, in a tradeshow booth, or in a PowerPoint presentation.
