⚠️ Important Reminder: Blum Branding
This is a reminder to all Blum employees to help maintain brand standards throughout all of our printed and digital branded materials (i.e. letterhead, internal / external presentations, flyers, job signage, etc.). If you notice an item that has the old logo or old branding (pre-May 2023), take action to update that item to current brand standards.
To access updated logos and templates, please refer to the Blum Brand Standards website page, flblum.com/logos. If you need a jobsite item updated, please contact Graphics Manager, Kristie Touchstone.
For assistance with anything brand related, contact a member of the Marketing team.
*Phasing for the rebrand of Blum Construction trucks will begin this year.
