USAGE GUIDELINES
'ROUND FOR LIFE
19
General Usage 'Round for Life brand elements should not be altered in any way from the form in which they’re received and should only be used in the brand colours provided. When possible, pair the logo and identity with the designated brand colours and typefaces, and always maintain strong contrast between brand elements and the background colour to ensure legibility. W I T H
C O L O U R
Primary brand colour-ways are in shown in your folders, with supporting colour variations available as well. O F F I C I A L
D O C U M E N T S
The black version of your logo should only be used when it’s required for off icial black-andwhite documents. Otherwise, the colour versions of your logo should be used.
USAGE GUIDELINES
'ROUND FOR LIFE
20
With Photography Most often, 'Round for Life logos and taglines should be used in white + gold over dark photography and in black + gold over light photo areas. Always ensure there is enough contrast between the branding and background and that there’s suff icient negative space in the photo composition for the brand elements to stand out and be legible.

For printing, it’s best to use CMYK. All of your print brand f iles are already formatted in CMYK. For a large (offset) print run with minimal colours or specialty print methods (letterpress, screen printing, etc), use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) colours
