2. Colour
Our colours Colour is a vital part of our identity and the accurate and consistent reproduction of our colours is of the utmost importance to us. We use 6 colours - Triage Aqua, Triage Lime, Triage Navy, Triage Grey, Black and White. Nothing else, ever. Wherever our identity is reproduced, the correct colours in the correct specification and format must be used. To help with this, we’ve created an easy to follow guide to keep you on the right track. In this section you will find exact colour specifications for every reproduction scenario and in the offical artwork section of this document, you’ll find out how to access official brand elements created specifically for reproduction in every conceivable medium, from Powerpoint ® presentations to commercial offset litho printing, however, if you are responsible for reproducing our identity and you require assistance, please email brand@triagecentral.co.uk.

3. Our logo
Our logo We’ve created three logo compositions to cope with different real estate scenarios. Our preferred logo composition is logo 1 - this logo should be used as a primary choice by default in all designs where possible. Only use offial logo artwork and never adjust it in any way other than to scale it up or down. When scaling up, only scale keeping aspect ratio and only from scalable artwork (EPS, AI and SVG). Never scale up from JPEG, TIFF or PNG artwork. Whne scaling down, always scale keeping aspect ratio.
helping people succeed
Logos 2 and 3 were created to cope with scenarios where there is limited width or depth available in which to reproduce the logo.

Logo 1 - area of isolation Logo 1 is our preferred logo composition and should be used as a primary choice wherever possible. It’s important that our logos are positioned correctly wherever they are reproduced. There is a space around our logo into which nothing should encroach. Our designers call this an ‘area of isolation’. Always ensure that nothing is placed into this area for each of our logos. That includes placing the logo too close to the edge of the page in printed materials so that the page edge effectively intrudes into the area of isolation. The area of isolation is simply defined as the depth of the letter ‘a’ in the ‘Triage’ part of our logo, to the top and bottom, and the width of the same letter ‘a’ to the right and left from the outer extremities of our logo as defined in the diagram opposite. If you are responsible for reproducing our identity and you are unsure about logo placement please email brand@triagecentral.co.uk.

Logo 1 - colourways Our logos can be reproduced in 6 different colourways. Each one is shown opposite. Always use official artwork supplied by Triage, never attempt to re-draw or re-colour any element of logo. Don’t split the logo up or attempt to use it in a way not described in this manual.
logo 1 - full colour
Always use the correct file type for each logo relevent to the medium on which you are reproducing our identity. Goods and materials produced from any arwtork other than offical Traige artwork will be rejected. When using our logo over photographic images, use white or black depening on the lightness / darkness of the image or use one of the white logos out of any of our 4 colours as shown opposite. For details of how to get official artwork, please refer to section 8 of this manual. If you require assistance email brand@triagecentral.co.uk.

Logo 2 - area of isolation Logo 2 should be used where it best fits the context and available real estate of the design in which it is being used. Logo 2 typically suits spaces where depth is limited. It’s important that our logos are positioned correctly wherever they are reproduced. The area of isolation for logo 2 is simply defined as the depth of the letter ‘a’ in the ‘Triage’ part of the logo, to the top and bottom, and the width of the same letter ‘a’ to the right and two letter ‘a’ letters from the left hand edge of the ‘h’ in our strapline as defined in the diagram opposite.

4. Branding devices
Branding devices Authorised elements of our logo can be used as a branding device. Branding devices should be used to subtley reinforce our identity but should be used carefully. We use two branding devices - our icon and our icon with the Triage name. Branding devices can’t be used in materials where the full logo does not appear i.e. they are not a substitute for our logo, they are to support it. For example, this document features the full logo on the front and back covers and the branding device supports this at the foot of every page. Our icon is a great branding device and can be used creatively to support our identity. It can be reproduced in full or in part (for example it can be used to bleed off a page). Both branding devices must always be reproduced in our corporate colours, black or white (or tints of our corporate colours, black and white) - never anything else.

5. Our typeface
Our typeface We have two corporate fonts, each chosen for their simplicity, W3C and DDA compliancies and ledgibility. When materials are produced commercially, we use Futura Round our corporate typeface. When we produce materials internally, we use a substitute font - Arial. To ensure that you use the correct font and have the appropriate licences where applicable, please read the sections on commercially produced materials and internally produced materials. If you are responsible for reproducing our identity and you require assistance, please email brand@triagecentral.co.uk.

Our typeface For commercially produced materials When branded items are to be produced externally using offset litho, digital commercial printing, screen printing and in websites etc., our chosen typeface is called Futura Round ©. It’s available it six weights - light, regular, medium, demi, condensed light and condensed medium (and in italicised versions of each), giving a suite of 12 fonts, which, when used together, create a very strong and persuasive style. We include a copy of our typefaces in our brand pack for reference our license only allows artwork produced by us to be reproduced using our copy of the fonts. If you have been commissioned to produce artwork for us, you’ll need to buy a license to use the font. This can be purchased inexpensively from https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/futura-round/ If you are responsible for reproducing our identity and you require assistance, please email brand@triagecentral.co.uk.

6. Images
Images Images are important. They help to define who we are and what we do. It’s important that when we choose images from stock, commission images to be created for us or even when we take images ourselves, that we follow a general set of guidelines wherever possible. Stock images When used selectively and when chosen well, stock photography is often a very effective way to create pictoral content. However, when dull, obvious, unbelievable, highly-staged stock images are used, it can result in materials looking homogenous, uninspiring and unbelievable. If you are responsible for choosing stock images for us, wherever possible, choose imaginative compositions. Where appropriate choose images which reflect or mimic our identity, showing people celebrating success (like the image opposite). If choosing descriptive images i.e. pictures which illustrate a particular service or customer type, choose a dynamic composition and people who mirror the diverse age, gender, ethnicity and religious range of
Our identity and how to reproduce it
57 16
the people we serve. However, there is a fine balance, never choose images purely on this basis at the expense of relevancy. Think about the colours, backgrounds and compositions to stock images and how they will work in the designs and materials you are selecting them for. Avoid ‘obvious’ images and choose believable scenarios - for example, there is nothing worse than seeing images that are very obviously not taken in the UK when we are trying to portray a believable UK scenario. Technical guidelines When selecting stock images, always choose the largest file size. Images should be in JPEG (JPG) or TIFF format and should be a minimum of 300dpi, ideally in CMYK colour format. If the stock image requires the purchase of a licence, make sure you buy the correct licence (for example a web licence may be cheaper than a print licence but if the image is then subsequently used in print, the licence is invalid). Never use images which you do not have permission to use or a license to reproduce. If you do not know the provenance of an image and can’t seek permission to use it from the copyright holder or owner, you can’t legally use the image. Our identity and how to reproduce it
59
Never copy images from websites or scan pictures from magazines or brochures. Never scale images up in size and when scaling down, keep aspect ratio. Commissioned images and images taken internally by Triage When commissioning images for Triage, or when taking photographs generally that may be used in our materials, make sure that you or the photographer are aware of the objectives. Choose dynamic compositions and think carefully about backgrounds. Make the subject the subject - this may seem obvious but shots that have busy or boring backgrounds can often take the focus away from the intended subject. When taking images of people think about the angle - don’t simply stand in front of the subject and click - we are all different heights and so are the subjects and the two are rarely a perfect match for a good photograph. Lower or raise the camera angle to create a more interesting shot. Alter the depth of field so that the background becomes soft and the subject sharp. Take multiple shots in different poses.
Our identity and how to reproduce it
61
Technical guidelines Digital photography should be taken in high resolution to provide shots at 300dpi at roughly A4 in size (minimum). For large format shots for use on pop-up stands, in exhibitions and on large format posters, please ensure that the native file size is at least A3 at 600dpi to ensure no quality loss. If taking images with a smart phone or non-commercial digital camera, ensure that the phone/camera is set to produce the highest quality images. This is usually called ‘fine’, ‘high quality’ or ‘raw’. In short, the larger the file size, the better the image.
