OUR LOGO CLIC Sargent Visual Identity Guidelines 7
An overview Secondary logo As our unique identifier, it is essential that our logo is applied consistently. The primary version of our logo, shown on the right, should be used wherever possible. Secondary logo Our secondary logo is horizontal and should be used whenever there are space or layout restrictions that make using our primary logo difficult. 8
National logos For nation-specific initiatives, we have variations of our logo, with the country name added, for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. We also have secondary national logos for when there are space or layout restrictions. For all UK-wide communications initiatives, use our main logo. Secondary national logos 9

Using our logo Logo clear space Minimum size To keep our logo clear of clutter and help it stand out, we have devised some simple rules. Positioning Wherever possible, we prefer our logo to appear either in the bottom or top right-hand corner of the page. Clear space To retain its visual impact and legibility, a clear space has been specified for the logo. This is equal to the height of the flower symbol, shown as an x on the adjacent diagram, and should be kept clear at all times. Minimum size The logo also has a minimum usable size, below which it will become unreadable. For our primary logo, it s 18mm or 80px wide; for our secondary logo, it s 32mm or 120px wide. For exceptional applications where neither the primary nor the secondary logo will be clear enough to read at any size we have an alternative logotype (in our headline typeface, CLIC Sargent Summer). Please email brand@clicsargent.org.uk to check if this will be necessary. Logotype for exceptional applications 18mm Minimum usable size of our primary logo is 18mm or 80px wide 32mm Minimum usable size of our secondary logo is 32mm or 120px wide 12

When to use the events logo Events in support of CLIC Sargent fall under two categories, depending on who is organising the event. Type one: CLIC Sargent is the organiser If CLIC Sargent is the primary organiser of the special event, material should follow our brand style and our main logo should be used. Type two: in aid of CLIC Sargent If the event is in aid of CLIC Sargent, the material has its own distinct identity removed from the CLIC Sargent brand. Use the events logo on such materials. National versions Type two communications should not incorporate any other CLIC Sargent brand elements or style, other than the events logo.

Working with others Using our logo alongside partner logos When entering into partnerships with other organisations, we sometimes create joint communications. Oasionally we create a dual logo lock-up. All partnerships are different so the use of a dual logo will be looked at on a case-by-case basis and must be agreed to by both parties. When creating dual logos, the CLIC Sargent logo guidelines must be followed.
