INTRODUCTION Written to ensure the communications material for GB3 remain strong, powerful and consistent in application across various media. They encompass the graphic components that are used to build the GB3 identity. Anyone producing communications materialfor GB3 should be aware of the principles outlined in this publication.


THE LOGO


05

FULL COLOUR The full colour version of the GB3 logo and descriptor is the preferred version. When reproducing the logo and descriptor always use the original artwork, available from GB3. Never attempt to redraw or recreate it.


06

SINGLE COLOUR (MONO COLOUR) If it is impossible to use the full colour version of the logo and descriptor on printed material the mono colour version should be used. If for instance the printing process only allows for black and white, or there is no other option than for the logo and descriptor to appear on a coloured background then the mono black or white version should be chosen.


07

CORRECT SIZE WITH DISCRIPTOR The size of the GB3 logo and descriptor is calculated by measuring its width as shown in the guides below. Due to space restrictions there may be occasions when the full version of the logo and descriptor will not ямБt. This is when the mono version becomes useful because it is clearer at smaller sizes. Screen When the GB3 logo and descriptor is used on screen be careful it is sharp and easily visible, and is not too pixilated. MINIMUM SIZES
