Logo
BEYOND ZERO

The Beyond Zero logo is a primary element of the Beyond Zero Identity System. Similar to our blue vehicle badge, the logo’s unique gradient is inspired by the Earth’s atmospheric glow when seen from space. When combined with the power of our brand logo architecture, it represents the Beyond Zero vision, while staying Unmistakably Toyota.

Core Brand Logo Guidelines

Working on Toyota brand or vehicle-specific marketing materials? Please refer to our core brand logo guidelines.

 
 
 

As with all brand logos: Do not modify the logos, create new logos or add “TOYOTA” to any logo.

 
 
 
Understanding the Logo

This logo leverages the impact of the Toyota staging platform and emblem, while using a unique blue gradient and type style to represent something familiar yet new.

When to Use It

This logo should only be used in communications about the Beyond Zero vision and/or our electrified lineup. Always use the logo on its own, never in combination with any other staging platform logo.

Not for Vehicle-Specific Use

There are no Beyond Zero vehicle logos. If the main focus of the communication is marketing a specific vehicle, use one of the red staging platform logos.

Use With Beyond Zero Disclaimer

The Beyond Zero logo must be used in close proximity to a disclaimer. Find more guidelines and approved disclaimers in the Messaging Guidelines.

Spacing & Size

Clear Space

Minimum clear space is 50% of the staging platform height, or 2X. Determine “X” by dividing the staging platform into a 4x4 grid.

 

The clear space should scale with the logo. Minimum margin size is also 2X, which you can learn more about in our Layout Guidelines.

Minimum Size

The Beyond Zero logo uses larger minimum size heights than the Toyota logo to accommodate for the lighter font weight. We encourage using a logo height larger than the listed minimum to enhance legibility.

Place Disclaimer Close to the Logo

The Beyond Zero logo requires supportive messaging to ensure education is provided on the Beyond Zero vision. Please reference the Messaging Guidelines for more information about disclaimers.

Ensure the Logo Is Legible

Due to the nature of the gradient staging platform and book weight type, scale and backgrounds should be carefully considered to optimize contrast and impact across all color variations. Take advantage of negative space and retouching to achieve a suitable background.

Avoid backgrounds that blend in with the staging platform gradient or that reduce type legibility.

Select backgrounds that provide proper contrast and legibility for both the gradient and the type.

 
 
 
Do Not Modify the Logo

Do not alter or add to the logo lockup in any way. Do not create new logo variations outside of the provided suite of assets.

To enhance brand attribution, “Toyota” may be added into headlines or body copy when appropriate.

 
 
 
Do Not Use Multiple Logos

The Beyond Zero logo should always be used on its own and never in combination with any other staging platform logo.

 
 
 
An example of incorrect usage showing an ad that uses both the Beyond Zero and the Toyota brand logo side by side.
 
 
 

Don’t use multiple logos in an application.

Don’t add vehicle logos to Beyond Zero communications. The Beyond Zero logo should not be used in vehicle-specific communications.

 
 
 
Select the Correct File Format

For Keynote or Powerpoint, make sure to use PNG logos for best results.

Avoid importing vector logos into Keynote and Powerpoint, as they often have rendering issues when viewed in Adobe Acrobat as exported PDFs.
