Please include the following in Honda Branded communications: Honda Logo The logo is our instantly recognizable brand signature. Color Honda Blue, PMS 285C. Typography Avenir Next Rounded has a friendly tone, excellent readability and is versatile across all communications. If Avenir Next Rounded is not available, please use Avenir Next or Avenir. Honda Brand Guidelines Rounded Corners A rounded-corner treatment adds a clean, finished look to the visual style. Mnemonic Adds a memorable auditory cue to digital and media opportunities. Automotive Advertising, U.S. Market 4 Logo Isolation and Color Secondary Horizontal Logo Primary Stacked Logo Correct Usage: Area of Isolation and Color The Honda logo was the inspiration for our entire brand identity. Every additional element—typography, rounded corners, colors and mnemonic—was derived from our logo. As demonstrated here, the clear space surrounding the signature on all sides must be greater than or equal to the height of the letter “H” in Honda. It is important to maintain a sufficient amount of space around the signature so that it is distinct and easily identifiable at all times. 100 K PMS 285 C If you have any questions regarding correct or incorrect usage of the Honda identity, always refer to the Honda Style Guide. Deviation from the standards is permissible only with written approval from the AHM Brand Dept. As an example, Honda Red PMS 186 may be used for special instances like the Honda NHL co-branded assets.

Do not use the dimensional badge in combination with the logotype. If you have any questions regarding correct or incorrect usage of the Honda identity, always refer to the Honda Style Guide.

Civic Sedan File Name: 4044027.21564 Enthusiast_Racing_MT_7.875x10.875.r2 Closing Date: 4/13/21 Mech released: 4/8/21 Trim: 7.875" x 10.875" 7.875" x 10.875" Live: 7.375" x 10.375" Production Artist: Tina HRC21-001 Production Artist: Tina There are no unimportant parts in a car. Take, for example, the piston ring— a thin piece of metal whose main purpose is to fill the gap between a piston and the cylinder wall. Every engine, whether it powers a multimillion-dollar race car or an affordable environmentally conscious hatchback, relies on the durability of its piston rings to function properly. They cost mere cents to make, but are just as vital as the most expensive component. It’s no surprise, then, that the first company Soichiro Honda founded made piston rings. Mr. Honda went on to create Honda Motor Co., Ltd., based on the philosophy that, to succeed, you must perfect the basics. This ethos has led Honda to build engines that are raced in nearly every level of motorsports, from go-karts to the NTT INDYCAR® SERIES. This is not simply a clever “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” marketing strategy. The close tie between Honda automobiles and Honda Performance Development™ creates a free flow of ideas and engineering knowhow that benefits both our race cars and our production cars. The connection is Civic Hatchback Manufactured to the same strict standards as Honda vehicles, Honda Genuine Accessories are the perfect way to personalize and protect your vehicle.

GENUINE ACCESSORIES ® 7.875" x 10.875" Trim: 7.875" x 10.875" Vehicle performance means nothing without confidence. Whether it’s at the track, on the road, or even off-road, a vehicle’s main purpose is to inspire that sense of confidence in the driver. This is no easy feat, and the pursuit of it has led to an inseparable relationship between Honda automobiles and Honda Performance Development.™ While the vehicles Honda races may seem to have little in common with those driven on the road, the knowledge and philosophy learned on the track carry over to the streets—and vice versa. Take, for example, the Honda Racing Baja Ridgeline, a 550-horsepower twin-turbocharged truck that races across hundreds of miles of desert. The heart of this raucous racer is built upon the same engine block and heads as the road-going Ridgeline. Some might say this is wasteful over-engineering; we say it’s over-engineering at its finest. After all, we designed the Ridgeline with a goal in mind: to never get stuck. So it has to be capable of far more than a trip to the hardware store. automobiles.honda.com Stay connected with your vehicle right from your smartphone.

Accord / Accord Hybrid 1 Total system horsepower as measured by the peak, concurrent output of Insight so strong that many of the cars we develop for racing competitions are based on our mass-produced cars, utilizing many of the same key engine components, from turbochargers to piston rings. This means the Honda you drive has been built with the same passion for performance that goes into our race cars. When it comes to the NTT INDYCAR® SERIES, no other manufacturer comes close to the success of Honda: 252 victories, 17 drivers’ titles, 9 manufacturers’ championships, and 13 Indianapolis 500® wins. In 2023, Honda will begin racing a new 2.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 hybrid engine in the series, part of our commitment to continue our lead in performance innovation. The lessons we learn on the track will make their way into our production cars, the same way our dedication to engineering excellent automobiles makes its way to the track— just as Soichiro Honda intended. As a competitive racer himself, he believed in his heart that “racing improves the breed.” It’s this spirit that will keep Honda at the forefront of racing technology, perfecting the basics, even when the time of piston rings and internal combustion is far behind us. This philosophy of rugged practicality carries over to every part of the Ridgeline, particularly the intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) all-wheel-drive system, which helps to improve stability and control through torque vectoring. At any moment, a system of clutches will engage to send as much as seventy percent of the engine’s power to the rear axle, then up to one hundred percent of that power to the left or right wheel. This gives you four independent points of traction, each receiving the appropriate amount of torque needed to help pull you through difficult terrain. Quite simply, the Ridgeline is designed to give you the confidence to actually exploit its rugged capabilities. Ironically enough, the iVTM-4 vastly improves on-road performance as well by sending power to the outside wheels during hard cornering, much like the sports-car breed. Coupled with a first-in-class independent rear suspension and a lightweight unibody structure, one might say the Ridgeline is more agile than a truck needs to be. But it’s just the type of “over-engineering” we put into every Honda, from the ones driven on the road to the ones raced in the desert.

Specifications: For consistent application, please use the GUI assets in this template, which have been ordered from most common use to least common. This represents the preferred language. If a CTA with language other than that available below is to be created or edited, be sure to seek approval prior to use and application. Only use the radius box CTAs provided in this template for any and all digital communications. This includes: banners, social posts, e-blasts, microsites, games, events and activations, kiosks, personal data capture, desktop, tablet or mobile consumer-facing assets. In other words, everything except the Honda Autos Site. • Do not use any past pill, square, or different-colored CTAs. Do not take CTAs from existing final art. • Do not change colors or create your own. • Do not change the size of any of these assets; maintain communication consistency. • Do not scale or distort any assets. • Do not use or create different-sized CTAs when using multiple CTAs. Area of Isolation: As demonstrated (right), the clear space surrounding the CTA is equal to twice the height of the typography. It’s important to maintain a sufficient amount of space around the CTA to ensure that this button or object is distinct and easily identified at all times. Quick Facts: • CTA should be written in all caps • Tracking: 25px • Font family: Avenir Next Rounded Medium • Minimum font size: 12px • Maximum font size: 25px • Area of isolation: double the height of X in all directions • Chip used for units with heights >60px • Outline of CTA is a 2px stroke, aligned inside • There’s a 20% reduction from XL to L, and a 40% reduction from L to M • XL height is 54px, with a 4º curve • L height is 43px, with a 4º curve • M height is 27px, with a 4º curve XL Actions and Rollover States: Each CTA’s layered file includes the appropriate action, rollover or hover state, and response state.
