Why a strong brand is important

Our people are one of our most powerful brand assets. Demonstrating commitment to our brand is a responsibility
we all share in our efforts to strengthen Pfizer’s reputation.

Pfizer’s brand identity represents a high standard of excellence, and by owning our brand, we safeguard our purpose,
our science, our products, and our people.

These guidelines were developed to help us work together in building consistent, branded communications that collectively enhance
Pfizer’s reputation in the communities we serve. Using these standards will enable us to create materials that speak to both internal
and external audiences while maintaining one, unified voice.

Together, we can contribute to Pfizer’s reputation as a leader in global health and well-being.

The Logo
The logo is the primary mark of the Master Brand and is Pfizer’s key visual symbol. The proper usage of the logo communicates a strong
compliance across the company, and it must be safeguarded both internally and externally. The original oval shape was introduced in 1948 and
still remains a prominent part of today’s identity. Please be aware of the proper file format for the intended application, and if unsure, ask the
Corporate Brand Team.
Please note: The letters in the logo are transparent and should reveal the background.

Visual Identity—Iconography
Iconography within Pfizer should be used sparingly and with purpose. Icons aid in navigation, help to emphasize an idea or concept, and provide
groups within Pfizer a distinguishing graphic element while staying within the Master Brand. They are also used in infographics to visually support
the data. Acceptable icons are in a pictographic style and should be simple, linear drawings with minimal detail. Using a frontal perspective will
help reduce complexity. The corners and end caps should be rounded.

4. Closed path corners should have at least .02” corner radius.
5. Create artwork using conceptual style.

Signature System—Call to Action
A call to action serves as a tagline option for any group under the Master Brand. Because there are only two approved taglines, all
other taglines should be converted to a call to action. A call to action should be a short concise engagement that directs or impacts
the focus of the group.
It can be a main focus of a campaign with prominent placement.
Never lock up a call to action with the logo or a signature and never use the word Pfizer in a call to action.

Signature System—Tagline
The Pfizer logo-tagline is a concise statement of our company’s purpose. It communicates our key reason for being in a clear, direct,
and engaging manner. The Pfizer Corporate logo is the only logo permissible within the Pfizer brand. No other logos may be developed.
The Pfizer logo may be locked up with an organizational group name to form a signature (see Signature System in the Standards). A
tagline may not be used with a signature, and only the corporate-sanctioned tagline may be used with the Pfizer logo. Instead of a
tagline, a “call to action” may be used prominently, providing it is not locked up with the signature.

Signature System—Endorsements and Sponsorships
Third-party use of the Pfizer logo is something our company generally declines, absent of a strong business need.
Pfizer gives a few reasons for this—the first is that procurement is generally averse to giving endorsements for services, especially for newer
vendors/suppliers. Secondly, from a trademark perspective it is difficult to enforce—Pfizer only grants permission for a set amount of time and
relies on the vendor/supplier to remove the logo proactively at the end of that time or when the business relationship ends.
Finally, from a brand perspective, Pfizer needs toby
Sponsored be mindful about giving endorsements freely because the public will associate the quality of one
company with that of Pfizer fairly quickly.

program, or philanthropic endeavor. It is preferred to have the words “Sponsored by” to fully disclose the relationship between Pfizer Inc. and a separate business entity. The endorsement line allows for the
