No eligibility criteria specified

The supplied document is an SAA interim corporate identity guide, not a tender specification for snack boxes. It sets out brand usage rules that would apply to any supplier producing branded material:

• Logo rollout covers the full brand architecture: Cargo, Technical, Voyager and Corporate.
• The SAA masterbrand logo must always carry the Star Alliance co-branding black band on literature, signage and print; the lock-up version is for advertising without the band; the stacked logo is for signage, digital and small merchandise where legibility matters.
• The tail device may be used without the wordmark on PowerPoint footers, social media pages and the Sawubona magazine cover.
• Voyager, Technical and Cargo sub-brand logos follow the same rules: primary logo on literature and signage with the Star Alliance band; lock-up for advertising without duplication of the band.
• Colour palette: red (Pantone 1797C), yellow (Pantone 123C), green (Pantone 348C), black, blue (Pantone 662C) and white for the masterbrand; dark blue (Pantone 289C) and light blue (Pantone 293C) for the visual language, with yellow as an accent. RGB values are supplied for each. Varnishing over colours darkens them and is not advised.
• Typography: headlines in Roboto Black all uppercase; body copy in Roboto Regular sentence case; calls to action in Roboto Black sentence case.
• Communications templates: the tail device is flexed across five crops in page formats from 100mm x 210mm up to 840mm x 297mm; portrait layouts use only the blue and yellow devices, landscape uses a simplified tail device; the device may sit on white or an image.
• Retail layouts for flysaa.com are provided in portrait and landscape with headline, body copy, call to action, partner logo, terms and conditions and the flysaa.com URL.
