The Brand:
Introduction
MetLife values our reputation as financially stable,
knowledgeable and easy to do business with. Here,
in the Co-branding Implementation Guidelines,
you’ll find how we’ll make our communications
consistently look, sound and feel like MetLife.
You will see that these latest guidelines are not very
different from the ones with which you are already
familiar. The revisions represented here both respect
and take advantage of the brand-building work
already under way.
This document gives guidance on the core parts
of our marketing and communications activities. If
you have any questions, or feel you need additional
advice or guidance, please contact Global Brand and
Marketing Services.
Co-branding Implementation Guidelines
We make sure that the benefits
of a product or offering are clear
to the customer.
While we are financial experts,
our customers are not necessarily
financial experts. Therefore, we do
not use jargon. Clear language
helps create trust.
We are optimistic, offering
solutions, not problems. We do not
use scare tactics.
The Brand:
Writing Principles
Together graphics and copy help communicate that
MetLife is intelligent, understandable and easy to do
business with. The words we use are as important as
the way we look. Yet, speaking in many languages
and to various cultures, we, as a global brand, must
be sensitive to the differences across the many
societies in which we do business. But wherever we
do business, MetLife is clear, consistent and correct.
• e make sure that the benefits of a product or
W
offering are clear to the customer.
• hile we are financial experts, our customers are
W
not necessarily financial experts. Therefore, we
do not use jargon. Clear language helps create
trust.
W
• e are optimistic, offering solutions, not
problems. We do not use scare tactics.
Of course, different situations will demand different
types of language. Think about who you are talking
to in each piece of communication. Your message
should focus on the specific need of the audience.
A good way to test copy is to read it aloud. Does
it flow easily as your speak it? If it is friendly and
informative, it should. Does it give you a sense of
satisfaction? If it is clever and well-organized, it
should.

Co-branding Implementation Guidelines
The Basic Design Elements:
Logo
The MetLife Alico name as expressed in the logo
is the single most important visual component in
establishing our brand presence. Our logo is a clear,
strong, timeless presentation of our name.
Clear Space
Using the appropriate amount of space around our
logo will help create a positive impression and impact.
A minimum amount of clear space must always
surround the MetLife Alico logo, separating it from
other elements such as headlines, text or imagery.
Clear space
The protected area is equal to the cap height of the
MetLife “M” and is proportional to the size of the
signature being used.
Minimum Size
Careful consideration should be given when
determining the size of the MetLife Alico logo. When
it is too small it can be ineffective. The minimum size
for the logo should be 1 pica for the height of the
“M” in MetLife.
Minimum size
Color
Color
The preferred color for the MetLife Alico logo is
Pantone 285. Acceptable alternatives are for the logo
to be reversed out in white or reproduced in black.
Do not use the logo in any other color.

Identity Band
It is important for the identity band to maintain
consistent placement and proportions across
communications. The identity band is primarily used
on brochures, folders and other multipage documents.
It is preferred for use for single page communications
if content space allows for it. Where space does not
allow, see the standard for Signature/Slug on the
proceeding pages.

Color
The primary color palette for MetLife consists of white
and Pantone 285 and 284. The following accent
colors have been mapped over from Alico: PMS 281,
PMS 377, PMS 1665, PMS 2613, Cool Grey 8 and the
metallic PMS 877 for wealth and private clients.

Always allow white space for balancing the page
and aiding in readability. Application of color should
be well considered, compliment photos and aid the
reader’s understanding of visual data. Using PMS 285,
PMS 284, PMS 281 and one additional color (as well
as black) can create a comfortable visual rhythm while
adding too many can create visual chaos. Using tints
and shades (adding white or black) of the secondary
palette is acceptable. PMS 284 is effectively a 50%
tint of 285 and 281 is effectively 285 with 30% black.

Do not use Alico Blue (PMS 281) in the Identity Band,

MetLife typefaces for most print communications are
the Frutiger and Minion families. Every effort should
be made to execute designs using the preferred
typefaces.
Frutiger
Frutiger is a contemporary, approachable sans
serif typeface. It is flexible, as it is available in italic,
condensed and a variety of weights.
Minion
Minion is a classic serif typeface that complements
Frutiger. While Frutiger is approachable, Minion
suggests trust. Minion is available in italic and a variety
of weights. Like Frutiger, Minion is easy to read and
flexible.
For everyday users who create communications such
as letters, e-mails and PowerPoint presentations
and who do not have access to Frutiger or Minion,
substitute Arial and Times New Roman.
Arial
When Frutiger is not available it is acceptable to
substitute it with Arial. Arial is standard with most
PC applications.
Times New Roman
When Minion is not available it is acceptable to
substitute it with Times New Roman. Times New
Roman is standard with most PC applications.

The Basic Design Elements:
Photography
Photography
The MetLife image style is a particularly important way
of reflecting our personality. Keep the following in
mind while selecting imagery:
Cover images should be light and bright with an open
uncluttered feeling of space. Interesting crops and
dynamic angles reinforce a leading and agile point
of view. Be sure that the subject matter is crisply in
focus.
The color and tonality of images used should
complement the warm, approachable attributes
demonstrated by the MetLife Alico color palette.
Natural lighting and colors are best for demonstrating
these attributes.
Photography is the recommended imagery for MetLife
communications. However, it is important to recognize
that not all communications require the use of
imagery. Typography and color can also be effectively
used to convey core brand messages.
Photographs of people can be very effective. As
we have demonstrated, however, it is not always
necessary to use the entire body or even the face of
an individual when suggesting the human aspect.
When choosing photographs of people, look for
realistic interpretations of situations rather than
images that are posed or staged. Images should
connect and involve the viewers, and communicate
that MetLife understands its customers.

Consumers
Dynamic lifestyle images are used when
communicating with our consumer audiences.
People are positive and optimistic, engaging in an
active lifestyle appropriate to specific products or
campaigns. Images should reflect your local market
where appropriate. Images should look real, not overly
posed or staged.
Agents, Brokers and Partners
Committed professionals images are used when
communicating with our professional audiences.
We show people reflecting our culture and
personality. They should appear practical, dedicated
and hardworking. People are captured in action and
wearing relaxed business attire. Images should reflect
your local market where appropriate. Images should
look real, not overly posed or staged.
Wealth Management Customers
Bigger worldview images are featured on the MetLife
Alico Private Clients and MetLife Alico Wealth

An Overview
Do you own company
stock in your company
retirement plans?
Many employers offer company stock as an investment
option in their qualified benefit plans. As a result, when
a large component of an employee’s 401(k) (or other
2011
Calendar of
Events
qualified plan) is made up of company stock that is
highly appreciated from the original cost basis, rolling
that stock into an IRA may not be the best course
of action. There is a strategy called Net Unrealized
Appreciation, under IRC 402(e) (4), which could help
you benefit from potential tax advantages.
What is Net Unrealized Appreciation?
As a simple definition, Net Unrealized Appreciation
(NUA) is the difference between the market value
of the shares at the time of distribution and their
corresponding cost basis. The NUA strategy allows you
to pay ordinary income taxes on the cost basis of the
shares at the time of distribution, and defer all tax on
the appreciation until the shares are actually sold. Then,
the Net Unrealized Appreciation is taxed at long-term
capital gains rates and any appreciation generated after
distribution is taxed at the applicable capital gains rate
based on the holding period. Clearly, this strategy works
best when the market value of the stock at distribution
is significantly higher than the average cost basis.
292586_L01.indd 1
The lump sum distribution is the distribution or payment of the employee’s
entire account balance from all qualified plans of the same type sponsored
by the employer, which becomes payable:
a. On account of an employee’s (other than a self-employed individual)
separation from service
b. On account of death
c. After a self-employed individual has become disabled (as defined by
the tax law)
d. After attainment of age 59½
To employ the NUA strategy, employees with highly appreciated company
stock in their 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan will only qualify if all
of the assets are distributed within a calendar year. No balance can be left
(including all other investments) or the entire amount distributed becomes
taxable at ordinary income tax rates.

sTep:
transfer the shares to a non-qualified account
The NUA strategy requires an employee to pay ordinary income tax on the cost
basis of company stock at the time of distribution. To do this, the shares must
be directly transferred from the employer plan to a taxable account. This is an
in-kind distribution of the shares, not cash to the employee. The other assets
and investments can be rolled income tax-deferred into an IRA.
sTep:
pay long-term capital gains tax on the NUA at time of sale
After the shares are distributed and held in a non-qualified brokerage
account, a new holding period begins. At the time of sale, the net unrealized
appreciation is taxed as a long-term capital gain. Additional appreciation
above the NUA will be taxed as short- or long-term capital gains, depending
on how long the client held the shares following distribution from the plan.

The relationship of Peanuts characters to the MetLife
Alico logo itself is extremely important. The pose
shown here, Ambassador Snoopy, is the only pose
that is used in combination with any MetLife
logo (e.g., in the identity band). Using this pose
in the context of the identity band is the preferred
relationship. The attachment of Snoopy (and/or other
character) to the logo diminishes both brands.
Other combinations may be created in certain
instances. The minimum acceptable proximity
between the two marks is 2.5 times the “M” height

Co-branding Implementation Guidelines
Application:
Introduction
You’ve seen the basic elements. Here’s how we put
them to use in brochures and collateral material,
business cards and letterhead and envelopes, as well
as e-mail, forms, signage and PowerPoint®.
It will be clear to designers that the new look is more
a revision, integrating the two brands into one, than
a reinvention.

Application:
Brochures and Collateral
Information Area
The information area contains the brochure’s headline
and, if necessary, subhead. This placement is generally
used for product-specific material.

Identity Band
The identity band is one of the key elements of the
MetLife visual identity. The band, in PMS 285, contains
the MetLife Alico logo and Snoopy as a brand icon.
Refer to pages 9-12 for more about the identity band
specifics.
Image and Messaging Area
The lower portion of the brochure is reserved for
imagery and typographic message area. Alternate
placement of headline text when appropriate can
occur in this area.
Image &
Messaging Area
Refer to page 27 for more Image and Messaging Area
specifics and options.
Border
It is recommended to use a non-bleed border as it
gives greater presence to the imagery and brand bar,
as well as creating a uniform look with pieces that are
reproduced from desktop printers which cannot print
full bleed.

Image and Messaging Area
There are several options with regard to the way an
image can occupy the cover. From full coverage top
to bottom (so long as the image doesn’t break at the
Identity Band in a disconcerting manner) to using only
a portion of the available space. So long as the image
respects the underlying grid, the proportions should
create pleasing and balanced arrangements.
Header typography color should be of significant
color contrast. The background imagery should not
interfere with the legibility of the header information.

Copy or additional elements should align to the
