INTRODUCTIONWELCOME TO OUR BRAND GUIDE

New brand guidelines for a new, more comprehensive university.

CQUniversity Australias Brand Guide is an important resource that will help you to better understand the Universitys brand identity and how to effectively use and implement the brands visual standards.

A brand is much more than a logo or name. While these things are important elements, the brand should reinforce the values of CQUniversity and clearly convey how CQUniversity is different to every other university. Consistent use of the Universitys visual identity will help to deliver this message and present a professional and united voice to both internal and external audiences.

This guide aims to clearly represent the correct use of all brand elements related to the visual identity of CQUniversity and should inspire understanding and confi dence in those who refer to it.

We all know that CQUniversity is one of Australias most engaged and inclusive universities and the imagery refl ects this but our reputation for being unconventional needs to be underpinned by a thematic glue to emphasise our strength, character and future direction.

Our brand retains our connection to Central Queensland whilst acknowledging the Universitys national operations and leading position in the international tertiary education sector.

Our refreshed, bold modern look is timely with the recent growth and vitality of our more comprehensive university. It will be most effective when conveyed in a professional and consistent manner. Our logo helps express the fact that we are relevant and accessible.

INTRODUCTIONA NOTE ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY BRAND STRATEGY

Leading into the merger of CQUniversity Australia and CQ TAFE on 1 July 2014, much consideration was given to the appropriate branding strategy of the combined organisations.

The goals of both were clearly aligned both organisations aim to help people achieve their goals and do this through providing exciting learning opportunities, quality research and outstanding engagement.

CQUniversity Australias existing brand values translated agreeably with the incumbent CQ TAFE brand they were built on the same deep-seated origins both have their foundations in, and are deeply involved with communities in Central Queensland and beyond. And both organisations have formed strong community and industry

partnerships nationally and internationally. These partnerships are highly valued and help to make CQUniversity one of Australias most engaged and inclusive universities.

There will be one brand identity to represent CQUniversity as we establish ourselves as Australias largest regional university with a footprint reaching from Cairns in the North, Melbourne and Adelaide in the South to Geraldton in the West.

CQUniversity Australias existing theme line BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE also remains as an effective brand promise for our merged entity, because as a more comprehensive university, CQUniversity Australia is truly allowing anyone to achieve this.

PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES

A brand identity, expressed through a logo and associated graphics, is a physical symbol of an organisations values. Used consistently and effectively, it acts as a continual reminder of the organisations character and personality.

If you look at recognisable brands, they share a use of common elements within their brand identities. Each is made up of distinctive visual and graphical elements. Over time, these elements embed themselves in the publics mind and become recognisable icons. Each element within the design adds its own distinct layer to the overall personality of the brand. This can be the addition of a colour to indicate vibrancy, a graphic design element for freshness, a shield for strength and/or a specially selected typeface for character.

The purpose of these guidelines is to introduce you to these visual elements and provide an understanding of how to use them across a number of applications. Obviously every application cannot be covered. Hopefully, however, the Brand Guidelines will help, as all good guidelines should, to provide the knowledge and the tools to map the brand effectively on all applications.

UPDATES AND SUGGESTIONS

Users of these Brand Guidelines are asked to refer any suggested updates, additions or clarifi cations to:

AUTHORISATION FOR USAGE

The CQUniversity Australia logo is only to be used by our organisations, subsidiaries and associates. Other organisations, institutions or companies wishing to use the logo must have the written approval of CQUniversity Australia.

CQUniversity Australia is committed to a set of values that place our students, customers and partners at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to extending our reputation as an entrepreneurial innovator whose approach and learning systems are consistently adapted to meet the changing needs of industry and society.

This can only be achieved if all brand touch points, interactions and interfaces share a consistency of approach and effort, and in our case, one that is highly responsive to our users needs and expectations.

BRAND PROMISE

The trustworthiness and reputation of a brand are not merely based on a set of words. They are based on the manner in which the promise behind the words is delivered.

At CQUniversity Australia, this entails acting ethically, professionally and fairly in all instances.

BRAND PRESENCE AND MEANING

A logo has to work across many applications. In some instances it will be rendered as nothing more than lines, in others it will be displayed in rich colour.

With this in mind, we designed our logo as an abstract representation of an ideal a rich and fertile environment.

This can be seen in:

the light blue curve representing the freshness of water

the solid green, that forms the bulk of the design, depicting a fertile landscape

the blue that runs across the top representing the deep blue of the open sky.

With our reason for being to impart and engender a love of learning, CQUniversity Australia aims to provide a natural, vibrant and fertile environment where education can fl ourish.

The colours chosen have a youthfulness yet are solid and strong. The curves are signifi cant in this environment, with their free fl owing lines representing a freedom of the spirit. The absence of hard edges is in keeping with our belief of being fl exible and adaptable rather than merely following the straight and narrow.

This fl exibility extends to our systems and our processes and is fundamental to our championing of each individual, supporting them in their endeavour to be what they want to be.

TONE OF VOICE

In order to best communicate the brand values of CQUniversity Australia it is important to have a consistent tone of voice.

CORPORATE BRAND

Our Corporate Brand has the name CQUniversity Australia. It is depicted graphically by the shield logo and by the other associated elements of the brand identity outlined in this Manual.

Both our operational name and our logo are critical components of our identity.

As with all brands, consistent use and persistent adherence to the brand identity guidelines in this Manual, will, over time, help ensure recognition, familiarity and acceptance of the brand and its values.

NOTES ON THE NAME

1. Wherever possible, CQUniversity is to be expressed as a single word. There is no letter space between CQ and University.

2. In publications and documents the fi rst mention of the brand name should be CQUniversity Australia. Subsequent mentions of the brand name can be CQUniversity or CQUniversity Australia.

3. The use of CQUni is acceptable in informal situations where it is used as an abbreviation of CQUniversity.

4. The acronym CQU is not acceptable in marketing and general communications. The acronym CQU is short for the Central Queensland University title and related Act 1998 for which the corporate brand still allows the Act to apply. Please use CQUni in all small space applications.

BRAND ARCHITECTURE

ACHIEVEMENT OF ARMS CREST

Use of the Traditional logo remains in force through the Central Queensland University Act 1998 and is confi ned to legal, ceremonial and offi cial purposes and occasions only. For all other applications, use of the CQUniversity Australia corporate brand applies.

BRAND ARCHITECTURESINGLE BRAND STRATEGY

A single brand architecture (or master brand as it is otherwise known) lead by the CQUniversity Australia logo facilitates an effective whole of University marketing and communications strategy to achieve wider business objectives and to drive positive brand equity.

APPLICATION OF SERVICES, LOCATIONS AND LIKE

The name of a service, location or like shall be treated separately to the CQUniversity Australia logo and as appropriate to the medium.

To this end, in graphic expressions, the CQUniversity logo is always dominant and retains all its features. A CQUniversity Australia service, location or like may utilise typography-only, reversed or positive text, on primary colour palettes as a descriptor not connected to the logo.

Importantly, with a single brand strategy and architecture, there are no sub-brands or word-marks to be devised for these applications. Some exceptions are made to the single brand strategy to allow for partnership co-branding and wholly owned subsidiaries of CQUniversity Australia (Train@ CQUniversity stylesheet is available upon request).

Note: Previous use of pre-existing sub-brand and word-mark applications in-market shall be phased out overtime.

APPLICATION OF DIVISIONS, DIRECTORATES, SCHOOLS AND LIKE

The names of Divisions, Directorates, or Schools should appear in a standard font format. As a general rule, use of these names in material headlines should be for internal documentation only. For e-news and other public-facing mediums application of the typography on reverse primary colour palettes may be suitable.

USAGE POSITIONING AND RATIO OF LOGO AND DESCRIPTOR

The CQUniversity logo is always dominant and retains all its features.

A CQUniversity Australia service, location or like may utilise typography-only, reversed or positive text, on primary colour palettes as a descriptor not connected to the logo.

So as to not overpower the CQUniversity logo, ratios apply (as shown in the diagram to the right).

The height of the descriptor should sit on the same baseline as the word AUSTRALIA and rise no higher than the green and dark blue intersection in the top right of the crest.

The descriptor should sit at least one shields width away from the CQUniversity Australia logo.

Where applicable the CQUNIVERSITY component of the name of the service, location or like may be omitted.

Refer to page 33 for application on uniforms.

CORPORATE HERO LOGO

The Hero Logo is the logo of preference and is to be reproduced in full colour or spot colour where possible.

SPECIFYING COLOURS

When you have the ability to reproduce the logo in full colour, please specify the correct colours for the appropriate style of reproduction:

PANTONE CMYK RGB HEX PMS 382 28/0/100/0 196/214/0 #C1D600

PMS 540 100/57/12/66 0/48/87 #003057

PMS 50%540 50/28.5/6/33 98/128/167 #6280A7

USAGE

The logo may sit on a white or solid green background, over an image with suffi cient contrast or partially over both a solid background and an image. When the logo sits over a background other than white, the shield has a white background and keyline (shown in A and B). When applying the logo across two background types ensure the logo has suffi cient clear space as outlined on page 16.

If the logo is to sit on a darker photographic image with insuffi cient background contrast there are 3 usage options; the logo may sit above or below the image on a white or green band (shown in C), revert to the full white reversed version of the logo (shown in D) or apply a transparent leaf element behind the logo (shown on page 27).

MONO LOGO

There will be applications where the logo has to be presented in a simple line format such as mono envelopes or promotional items as well as mono or spot colour advertisements. Even in these applications, it is important that CQUniversity Australias logo should never lose its structure or identity. The mono logo is a single colour depiction of the logo, emphasising its distinctive curves and shield.

SPECIFYING COLOURS

As this version of the logo is only used in single or 2 colour applications, it should only be specifi ed using the following colours:

PANTONE 382C

PANTONE 540C

BLACK

USAGE

Note that the body of the shield should always be solid. Where there is a solid background colour, the internal lines of the logo curves adopt this colour. However, when the logo sits over a photograph, the shield has a white background and keyline.

BLACK AND WHITE LOGOS

There are two black and white versions of the logo, for use when only black and white reproduction is possible (e.g. newspaper advertising).

The line version should only be used where the logo appears at a size less than 25 mm wide.

LOGO CLEAR SPACE

Clear space is often referred to as the breathing space that logos demand when they appear with other elements on a page. This space is defi ned to ensure that the logo is not crowded by other elements.

To make it easy to comply with this clear space, a simple rule has been developed.

The minimum clear space around the logo = 1 x U (U = width of the letter U from CQU in the logo).

Therefore the larger the logo, the greater the width of the capital U in University, the larger the size of the clear space.

Wherever possible, larger clear space is desirable.

EXCEPTIONS

In certain circumstances, the use of graphic elements may demand encroachment into the clear space (pictured right where the logo sits over the title banner). The CQUniversity Australia logo may also sit over an image in a similar way (pictured right) or crest leaves may fl ow behind the logo.

ENCROACHMENT RULING

The distance the logo should encroach over an image or heading (in the diagram opposite, encroachment = E) is equal to the height of the word AUSTRALIA in the logo.

Examples of usage are shown throughout this Manual.

MINIMUM SIZES

Minimum size specifi cations are provided to ensure the logo is always reproduced at a size that is recognisable and readable in any application. The main logo can be enlarged to any size but must never appear smaller than 25 mm wide.

For printed applications where the logo must appear smaller than this, the mono logo must be used (unless a restricted space application has been approved). If printing on a white or light background, do not use Pantone 382 green at this small size. For digital reproduction the full colour version should be used primarily.

If there is any question about the quality of the reproduction, legibility and clarity should always take precedence and the logo is to be used at a size larger than the minimum specifi cation.

RESTRICTED SPACE APPLICATIONS

The Shield Only Logo is acceptable only in tight placement situations and approval for use should be sought from the Marketing Directorate before proceeding.

There may be times when printing space is at a premium and one colour is the only option (e.g. on a small promotional item). In these instances, please use the Wordmark Logo. Other exceptions and alterations to the logo will only be made in extenuating circumstances.

BRAND THEME LINE

The starting point for CQUniversity Australia is always the individual, whether they be student, customer, partner or stakeholder. We strive to understand the context of their behaviour, learn about them and interact with them in such a way that we understand their stories, their circumstances, their goals and what they want to be. Through this interaction, we can lead and inspire, guide and support, and stimulate and empower people whatever their stage in life or background to follow their own aspirations. This philosophy is expressed in our brand theme line: BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE.

SPECIFYING COLOURS FULL COLOUR

The Brand Theme Line should appear as one white line of text that sits above the web address which is set in PMS540. Both lines of text sit within an enclosure of PMS382.

If legibility is a concern (e.g. online environments), the colours may be reversed (i.e. white and green text may sit on an enclosure of PMS540).

The positive versions (shown bottom right) are only to be used for select corporate public facing materials or internal documents to be printed/circulated in-house.

In all full colour versions, YOU is highlighted in the same colour as the web address.

When greyscale is the only option (e.g. press advertising), the enclosure is to be 100% black and the web address is set as 30% black. In this instance, YOU is also highlighted in the same colour as the web address (30% black).

For one colour instances, the Brand Theme Line may appear as a full white reversed block on a black enclosure or as black text only.

FONT SIZE RATIO

Although the Brand Theme Lines are available as logos from Marketing Directorate and re-creation of the Brand Theme Line is not advised, the ratio between the two different sized lines of text is roughly one third. Therefore, if the website is set at 24 pt, the theme line will be one third smaller at 16 pt (website 60 pt, theme line 40 pt etc).

MINIMUM SIZES

Where possible, the Brand Theme Line must never appear smaller than 45 mm wide (2 line) or 29 mm wide (3 line) as shown on the right.

Depending on available space and design requirements the Brand Theme Line may be broken down into 3 lines. Please adhere to the line breaks shown opposite.

USAGE POSITIONING AND PAIRING WITH HERO LOGO

As a preference, the theme line will be right-aligned and sit at the bottom right of a design piece. If there are design limitations which force the hero logo to appear top left, the theme line will be left-aligned and sit bottom left. It should never be centred.

The Brand Theme Line may sit at the base on its own if the hero logo is at top of a page, although more often than not, it will be paired with the logo at the base of a design piece (adhere to the ruling on page 16 where clear space beneath the logo = 1 x U). The logo and theme line are to be set to the same width.

USAGE PAIRING APPLICATION IN A SMALL SPACE

An example of usage paired with logo (online skyscraper banner layout) is pictured right. Where column widths are small, the Brand Theme Line may be used at full width.

USAGE SIZE RELATIVE TO DESIGN PIECE

For wider width landscape formats (e.g. billboard or press), the Brand Theme Line is to be scaled at a size of 1/4 or 1/5 of the overall width of the piece (dependent on medium and at discretion of the designer).

For narrower width portrait formats (e.g. A5 or A4) the Brand Theme Line is to be scaled at a size of 1/3 or 1/4 of the overall width of the piece (dependent on medium and at discretion of the designer).

For small press or online formats (e.g. 8 x 2 column press ad) the Brand Theme Line is to be scaled at 1/2 the overall width.

USAGE INSET FROM OUTER EDGE

When placing the logo and Brand Theme Line lockup the minimum inset from the outer edge (top, side or base) is twice the width of the letter U in the logo (i.e. inset = 2 x U).

If space allows, the inset may be greater. Designers should use 2 x U as a guide, use their creative eye and consider the inset for every design piece.

PRIMARY COLOURS

The following colours have been carefully chosen to provide a distinctive palette that should meet all applications. The primary palette is used for corporate applications such as advertising, stationery, signage, branding event collateral etc.

All colours must be matched as accurately as possible for whatever medium being used. You may have to make allowances for certain materials, variations due to paper stocks, content projected onto different surfaces, and the web. As well as using each colour in full strength, variation and depth can be added by using tints. All colours should be tested before completing production.

SPECIFYING COLOURS

CQUniversity Australia green is the hero colour of the brand and is to be used for solid backgrounds, graphic elements, headings and subheadings. All body text is to appear in Charcoal 80% Black (or 100% Black for regional press).

When designing with the primary palette only, Charcoal 80% black may be used as a background colour option in layouts when green is required as the accent colour.

CQUniversity Australia dark blue is to be used minimally throughout. The 50% blue is to be used for logo reproduction use only.

The colours in the Secondary Palette may appear along with our brand colours on the inside pages of communications, however these colours will not be offi cially allocated to a certain area within the University with the exception of study area names determined by the Marketing Directorate.

When used in this instance the colour may be applied at the fi rst-point-of-contact (e.g. study area banners, program guide covers, website design etc). All other use of secondary colours is recommended only to separate out information when the primary brand colours will not suffi ce (ie. sections in a study/training guides). Please do not use them for any other purpose.

TYPOGRAPHY PRINT

One of the most recognisable and distinctive elements of a brand is its use of typography. A single type family has been chosen to deliver CQUniversity Australias communications to the world.

Univers is a modern font family that communicates effectively without the need for ornamentation. It is modern and sparse, yet has an approachable quality that makes it a favourite among designers.

All text should, wherever possible, be left aligned, but may be right aligned if necessary.

UNIVERS

Univers Light is to be used for advertising body copy and as information text (such as program information) in all marketing materials. Univers Bold may be used to highlight important information (e.g. a call to action). The use of CQUniversity Australia in all caps should be avoided in body text.

UNIVERS CONDENSED

Univers Condensed Bold is to be used for all headings and subheadings. It can be set in either all caps or upper and lower case.

Univers Light Condensed is to be used for larger, highlight or pullout copy (e.g. a student quote).

The Univers Condensed family also includes the weight Univers Regular Condensed.

TYPOGRAPHY DIGITAL/DESKTOP

ARIAL

Online material is a special case because of the limitations associated with it. If the font the designer used on a web page doesnt exist on the users PC then the page will render with a default font. This can dramatically alter the design.

To overcome this, web designers use a short list of fonts that are known to reside on practically all devices. One such font is Arial.

It has family styling characteristics that are very similar to Univers. More importantly, we know that all users will see the page as it was designed.

As Univers is not a standard font in the Microsoft Offi ce suite, Arial should be the default font choice for desktop use if Univers is not available.

Note: Univers Bold Condensed is embedded for use as headings 1 and 2 on the CQUniversity website. All additional text online is shown in Arial.

SPECIFYING COLOURS

CQUniversity Australia green is the hero colour of the brand and is to be used for headings and subheading backgrounds where possible. All body text is to appear in Charcoal 80% Black (or 100% Black for regional press with reproduction limitations).

MINIMUM TYPE SIZE FOR PRESS

The minimum font size for press advertisements is 8 pt.

BRAND IDENTITYTYPOGRAPHY COLOURS

TYPE ON A COLOURED BACKGROUND

Readability is the main principal behind all use of type and colour combinations. This is especially important when using background colours and when choosing colours to be used in an online environment.

The chart opposite recommends combinations for reproducing type on backgrounds made up of colours in the palette.

Text over a coloured background should only occur for large set headings (e.g. on the cover of a Program Guide) or for highlight / pullout copy sitting over a coloured crest leaf (shown on page 16 or 27).

In the fi nal application, proofi ng should be carried out to ensure optimal clarity has been achieved.

Indicates that the text colour is not AA compilant. These colours may still be used within artwork online when tagging has been applied to ensure that the image is accessible.

GRAPHIC CREST LEAVES

The crest leaves are important elements of the brand identity. The shapes that form from their clean lines feel organic and natural, and were derived from the internal curves of the CQUniversity Australia logo crest. They represent the harmonious, side-by-side contrast that we see in the environment around us and in the people within our organisation.

GUIDELINES FOR LEAVES

The crest leaves may be applied as keylines and solids either separately or together in different positions and rotations to provide visual layering and depth to design layouts. They can be applied in the following ways:

FULL COLOUR

Green (382) leaves, multiplied over image.

White leaves at 80% transparency.

Secondary colour leaves, multiplied at 50% tint (as the secondary colours are stronger).

OUTLINED

Green or white leaves, at 100% unless program area specifi c which are 50%.

Where green (382) will go over green (382) the preference is to use a white leaf at 30% opacity however you can use green (382) as an overlay.

BEHIND TEXT

When placing a leaf behind text the secondary palette colours are shown at 10% tint and green (382) is shown at 30% tint.

COLOUR

The colour used for the crest leaves depends on the design piece. For corporate publications, use PMS382 green only. For program specifi c publications, use of the applicable colour from the Secondary Colour Palette specifi ed on page 23 may be appropriate. Various examples of usage are shown throughout this Manual.

BRAND IDENTITY

Large clean motivational text to be inserted here specifi c to course details of lifestyle on campus.

BRAND IDENTITYIMAGERY

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

CQUniversity Australia is a vibrant university, and we like to refl ect this with the photographs that we take and use. When using photography as part of your design, its very important to match the tone of the university.

Words like creative, optimistic, bright and positive are your point of reference when searching for images or briefi ng a photographer. This allows us to keep our look fresh and compelling. As we are a people focused university we prefer to use in situ photos that showcase our learning and teaching environments.

It is important that all images are of high standard and fi nish. When photographing people, ensure that they look professional but believable avoid the stock library look. Please ensure that the people look realistic and genuine as per the examples shown here.

Photos should consider accommodating a text block overlay and work in both horizontal and portrait landscapes. Where possible, highlight colours should come from the CQUniversity palette and feature people or people elements that are the focus.

Close up images with a focus on practical activities.

Student focused images with room for copy.

In situ images with a focus on learning and teaching.

PRINTED STATIONERY

Stationery items such as a letter can be the fi rst introduction the outside world has to the University. Others, such as a business card, can act as branding items and reminders of our organisation. They are the physical representations of our distinctive symbols and personality.

Thats why our stationery has been designed as if from the same master. This conscious use of common elements ensures consistency of communication and aids recognition.

Note: all colours used come from the primary palette.

No colours from the secondary palette should be used in such items. Stationery items that are available include:
