Vehicle Markings

Company vehicles are an important advertising medium as numerous people from different target groups see them when they are out and about. That is why all our vehicle markings must convey a distinctive, uniform message.

General rules for vehicle markings

Vehicles must be marked with the Bayer Cross, which is to be attached to the left- and right-hand sides and the rear of a vehicle.The web address and the graphic device must also be placed on the vehicle. Both must be clearly visible. You can find the rules for this under » Graphic device. Please make sure that only one color per vehicle is used for the graphic device. You can find the color palette under » Color.

As various makes of cars, minivans and trucks are in use, there are no precise specifications for the positioning of markings. Just ensure enough space is left around the markings.

A vehicle may only be marked with a product brand if the latter fulfills the following requirements:

• High degree of recognition in broadly based target groups

• Brand extension through vehicle advertising (e.g. Aspirin)  

• Market launch via a broadly based advertising campaign
