Logos, fonts and templates
Our brand guidelines are designed to be simple and straightforward to follow.
It’s really important that our logo and brand across are used consistently. This helps to build a strong professional identity for our organisation and will make sure we’re given credit for any work we’ve carried out.
Our logo
Our staff, students and collaborators must display our logo on any promotional or corporate material you produce. This includes publications, reports, presentations and websites.
- You should never create our logo from scratch. It won’t be consistent – and it’s much quicker to download it! Likewise, do not try to alter or edit the logo.
- Make sure the logo is legible. We have two versions of our logo.
- If you’re placing the logo on a light-coloured background – use the full colour version of our logo.
- If you’re placing the logo on a dark-coloured background – use the all white version of our logo.
- The logo text must be large enough to be readable.
- Our logo files have a transparent background.
- Our logo should always appear in full, with both logotype and graphic together.
For print
The EPS and EMP logo files are most appropriate for any printed materials, especially large format posters.
Use EPS for desktop software including Adobe Creative Suite.

For online
The PNG logo file is most appropriate for any digital logo use, such as websites or presentations. This file type is compatible with most software.
Fonts
We use two font families.
The first is Gill Sans MT. You should use Gill Sans MT whenever possible. For example, in your presentations, printed materials, and posters.
The second is Nunito Sans. This is our online font. We use Nunito Sans on our website because it is designed to be easily readable on screen.
Colour palette
You should use our primary colour as the main colour in any materials you create. You can use our secondary colours to add decoration to your work, highlight certain information, or complement the primary colour.
Our primary colour is:
Earth Green
#186f4d
