FROM NZCB —
How to Make the Most of NZCB Branding The New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) logo is a mark of quality. It represents our Association and our Members. At a glance it shows members of the public (potential clients!) that you are trade qualified and belong to an Association whose members are the country’s most qualified builders. How to write the brand in words
Can you believe it’s been more than three years since we launched the new NZCB brand?
As a member of NZCB, it’s important to know how to write the Association’s name correctly, to ensure consistency and brand recognition. This includes in text where you’re saying you are a member of NZCB, such as in your bio or email signature.
It’s great to see so many members using the updated branding. For those who haven’t, please replace the old CBANZ logo with the new NZCB logo. The only way to build a strong brand and ensure homeowners recognise the value of engaging an NZCB member is by getting our brand out there!
We are no longer known as CBANZ or Certified Builders, so please write it like this: • New Zealand Certified Builders • NZCB.
How can I help spread the word of NZCB? • Use the stickers: When you renew your annual membership you will receive a free NZCB sticker. More can be purchased from the ‘Shop’ on the Members’ Toolshed for $3. • Use the logo: You can download a copy of the NZCB logo under the ‘Branding’ section of the Members’ Toolshed. • Add the NZCB logo to: – Your clothing – Vehicle and site signage – Stationery items such as letterhead, payment claims, business cards etc – Your website – Your email signature – All advertising material. • Download and read the ‘Brand Guidelines’ for file format usage, print colour specifications and rules to ensure the NZCB brand remains consistent Remember to send them to anyone else using the logo such as sign writers, web designers, or printers.
