When using our logo, please ensure:

  1. The logo has sufficient "white" or "clear" space around it'. (Minimum of approximately the size of the 'n' in the Sun Life Financial logo.)
  2. If using colour, that the colours are being reproduced as closely as possible to the following Pantones:
    • Blue: Pantone solid coated 547
    • Yellow: Pantone solid coated 124
  3. The logo appears in either the top left corner or bottom right corner of your piece.

Please also note that ads must present the independent nature of the individual broker or firm who is sponsoring the ad. Here's an approved example: "(Advisor) is an independent broker who sells products issued by Sun Life Financial as well as products issued by other insurance and financial services companies." All copy must be approved by the Sun Life Financial head office.
