08 AYRSHIRE UPDATE Branding Materials The marketing team has placed key branding materials on the Intranet. These include Staff Brand Guidelines booklet, jpeg of our logo, document front cover, poster templates and powerpoint templates. There is also a document called Tone of Voice; the purpose of these guidelines is to standardise the format, presentation and style of written materials for Ayrshire College. They are designed for anyone who is writing or editing materials on behalf of the college – everything from course materials, to poster campaigns and letters. The house style is not meant to be inflexible – variation is needed for special purposes and to suit your needs. The guidelines should cover the principles that normally apply. AYRSHIRE COLLEGE BRAND GUIDELINES Logo: Positive Logo: Mono (Positive) Ayrshire College Brand Guidelines Logo Safe Area Logo: Reversed Logo: Mono (Reversed) Ayrshire College Brand Guidelines VERSION 1.1 AYRSHIRE COLLEGE Logo Safe Area The exclusion zones we have created (below) must always be respected. The brand must be placed within an area of clear space to ensure that it does not clash with other graphic elements. Where possible, please also avoid using the logo on visually cluttered backgrounds. The exclusion zone is derived from the value of A - the height of the caps within the logo. This creates a clear border around the identity. This rule should be used at all times of brand application. RecyCle Day Thursday 20 June was our recycling day for all unwanted/obsolete items or old documents in your office. Estates have organised extra skips, bins, recycle bags. Please ensure that you recycle any branded goods with Ayr, James Watt or Kilmarnock College branding; such as leaflets, old prospectuses, posters and signs. For documents, check retention dates to ensure you are keeping important information for the required period of time. Confidential information should be shredded.
