BRAND PLATFORM
Brand Positioning
The brand personality is what the customer sees, hears, experiences and thinks about when it comes to Heil products. In part, it’s what creates the brand positioning for the consumer. We aim to deliver outstanding, reliable performance at a competitive price.
When you describe or speak for Heil Heating & Cooling Products, here are some words best used to tell who we are and what we want to portray to our customers.
• American-crafted and quality-made

• Tradition and heritage
• Hardworking and family-oriented
Heil products are for cost-conscious homeowners who are looking for a solution to a heating or cooling issue. They usually need the issue resolved quickly by a knowledgeable dealer they can trust. Heil products come dealer-recommended and give customers the quiet comfort and confidence that they can depend on for home heating and cooling.
This guide is designed to help you understand the Heil brand personality, and how to represent the brand in an effective and appropriate way in your creative materials.

Color Palette
A brand personality can be expressed through color. The easiest way to associate with the brand in the customer’s mind is by being consistent in your use of color. In addition to the red, blue and gray of the Heil logo, the other colors represent the palette that best supports the Heil brand personality. Examples of color use can be found in the Ad Planner materials.
Fonts
Fonts are another key asset of the Heil brand. We extend the use of fonts for logos and branding to content for online/digital and print applications. Please consider these font guidelines when creating content.
Typeface
In creating a consistent image, Heil Heating & Cooling Products recommends use of “Frutiger” and “Georgia” as the Heil communications typefaces. These classic typefaces are readily available throughout the printing and graphics industry, and they lend themselves well to all applications, from print to online.
Both typefaces are available in a full family of weights and sizes. Weights (boldness) used for body copy, addresses, telephone numbers, and similar information generally differ from weights appropriate for headlines and subheads. Please use these particular fonts as noted below.
