Our final sign-off layers the end tag with our other brand elements in a consistent and recognizable way.

 
 
 
Crafting the Sign-Off Sequence

Broadcast spots using a :03 end tag should employ the following elements in this sequence to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Main Spot Resolves

Let story-related visuals, supers and graphics resolve before starting the branding sequence.

Insert One Clear Frame

After any supers have fully faded out, include one frame without graphics or logos before introducing the end tag.

Cross-Dissolve to End Tag

Make sure the last frame works with the end tag for a smooth transition.

Audio Sequence

Our end tag is always synced with a prominent vocal or instrumental 3-note Sonic Signature, often referred to as “Oh Oh Ah.” To make sure the Sonic Signature stands out, it should be inserted between the “Toyota. Let’s Go Places” voiceover.

① Voiceover “Toyota”

② Signature “Oh Oh Ah”

③ Voiceover “Let’s Go Places”

 
 
 
Minimum Cross-Dissolve Frame Count

Adequate tails should be included on the last shot to overlap with the animation as it cross-dissolves to the end tag. For each end tag version, use the following minimum frame counts.

 
 
 
Full-Screen: 03

42 frames beyond the :27, :57 or :87 mark where the end tag starts to fade on.

 
 
 
Half-Screen: 03

24 frames past the :07, :12 or :27 mark where the end tag starts to fade on.

 
 
 
Full-Screen: 01

21 frames past the :05, :09 or :14 mark where the end tag starts to fade on.

 
 
 

Generic versions finalized without any end tag should use these same minimum frame counts.

 
 
 
Production Watchouts

Paying attention to the guidelines below helps ensure the end tag is clearly visible as it cross-dissolves over picture, for a smooth, natural transition.

 
 
 
Editing
 
 
 

Action relevant to the story should conclude before the end tag animation begins.

 
 
 

There should be no cuts during the cross-dissolve transition to the logo.

 
 
 
Art Direction
 
 
 
A Toyota logo centered over an image of a vehicle and mountainous terrain representing correct usage.
 
 
 

Use wider shots with subjects slightly off-center to create visual space for the end tag.

 
 
 

Consider darkening the shot for better contrast with the logo and flares.

Since the end tag is centered, stay away from perfectly centered subjects or close-ups on faces.

 
 
 

Don’t use too much red as it will make the logo and flares less legible.

 
 
 
Text and Graphics
 
 
 
A Toyota end-tag logo used incorrectly with a text super and vehicle logo appearing above and below.
 
 
 

Don’t allow supers to overlap with the end tag animation. Leave one clear frame in between.

 
 
 

Never have more than one logo artwork on the screen at a time.

Don’t use URLs, hashtags, or legal text over any full screen end tag.

Billboard
Billboard

We use the Billboard asset in cases where a stand-alone dynamic logo is required, unattached to any spot. It’s available as a :03 full-screen asset for 16:9 orientation. Please do not attempt to create a Billboard by using the end tag toolkit. The red flares in the toolkit are not visible over white, so we enhanced the flares for the Billboard exclusively.

FAQs
 
 
 

Yes, this end tag may be extended up to 12 frames by holding on to the last frame. This will make it a total of 1.5 seconds in length.

We recommend you cut from the offer card back to picture to cross-dissolve into the end tag, rather than fade directly from it to the end tag.

The :01 end tag is too short to tag. Retail versions need a :03 half-screen end tag to accommodate TDA and Dealer information.

You could get by with fewer frames by freezing the last frame to complete the transition.

  • For the :03 full-screen end tag, we recommend a minimum of 30 frames before freezing the last frame.
  • For the :03 half-screen end tag, we recommend a minimum of 20 frames before freezing.
  • For the :01 end tag, we recommend a minimum of 12 frames before freezing.
