The International Association of Facilitators (IAF) is a participatory organisation with members in more than 65 countries. As a professional association we set internationally accepted industry standards, provide accreditation, support a community of practice, advocate and educate on the power of facilitation and embrace the diversity of facilitators.

1.1 Introduction Who we are

IAF Identity Guidelines version 2.0 Last revised December 2015 © International Association of Facilitators 2015 2

Great brands are held together by brand guardians. They follow a framework known as visual identity guidelines. The primary objective of a brand guardian is to protect the principles within such guidelines so that all communications maintain the brand expression of the organisation. Applying these guidelines in a consistent way is the foundation of a powerful, long lasting and recognisable brand.

This brand book gives direction on the correct use of the IAF brand. These guidelines are a powerful tool that will help us create a strong, recognisable and unique brand, ensuring consistency wherever it is used across the world.

1.2 Introduction Building a brand

1.3 Introduction Our vision and mission

Our vision is to see professional facilitation used throughout the world to address the challenges faced by people in their groups, organisations and communities.

Our mission is to grow the community of practice for all those who facilitate, establish internationally accepted professional standards, build credibility and promote the value of facilitation around the world.

We are an inclusive organisation with members from all walks of life and different ethnic backgrounds. We are open to different views, perspectives and approaches to facilitation, with a focus on process facilitation.

Our members ensure we have a global perspective on how we facilitate. How we operate is grounded in professionalism. As facilitators, we are leaders in our field and strive for excellence in everything that we do.

1.5 Introduction What we want to be known for

We want to be known for promoting the power of facilitation, raising standards worldwide, being at the heart of the facilitation community.

We leave people feeling in awe and wonder at what they have been able to achieve at the end of a professionally facilitated process.

If we were to use just one sentence to describe what the IAF does and stands for, it would be captured in this phrase.

Enabling Powerful Change.

Every meeting that is facilitated has an impact on the individuals and the groups they are a part of and enables a change in the way people think, act and impact the world around them.

Our tone of voice is

• Dynamic and engaging

• Professional and approachable

• Concise and to the point

• We keep things simple, clear and jargon-free

• Confident and friendly.

1.7 Introduction Tone of voice

What we say is as important as how we say it, how we write it and how we display it. Our communication needs to be consistent and always have our audience in mind.

IAF Identity Guidelines version 2.0 Last revised December 2015 © International Association of Facilitators 2015 8

International English means spelling words like

organisation, globalisation, recognise with an ‘s’ not a ‘z’.

It also means spelling colour and honour with ‘ou’ not ‘o’.

The IAF acronym is always first spelled out in full in text as follows.

The International Association of Facilitators (IAF)

with ‘IAF’ in brackets.

Any further times the IAF is mentioned in the text, it can appear just like that.

1.8 Introduction Style Guide

We use International English spelling. In text we always spell the IAF acronym in full the first time as follows. ‘The International Association of Facilitators (IAF)’.

Our brand look and feel is made up of a number of elements including: our logo, our colours, our typeface, our design system and our style of illustration and photography.

When designed and balanced together, following the guidelines in this brand book, they create the professional look and feel that reflect our mission and core values that distinguishes us from other organisations.

The logo is the most visible element of our identity – a universal signature across all IAF communications.

The logotypeOur logo is clear, recognisable and confident signifying a guarantee of quality that unites our diverse group of international facilitators. As a valuable asset used to represent the entire association, it should appear on all material. This exact version must be used avoiding obstruction by any other elements.

File formatsAll Directors on the IAF’s global Board have access to the high resolution versions of our logos. The global logo depicted here is to be used on communications of a global nature, that is, information that pertains to all IAF members.

The regional logos depicted on page 16 are to be used for all events, communications, campaigns and other activities that occur at the regional level. These files are obtainable by contacting your regional Director.

Brand managementIn order to maintain the strength and integrity of the IAF brand, the creation of new logos and brand names, other than those in these guidelines, is restricted. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please contact the Director of Marketing & Partnerships on [email protected]

When using the global logo, maximum contrast should be provided between the background and the logo.

Our logo can be used as a window into the IAF world. Strong contrasting imagery, textures and illustrations can appear through our IAF symbol as shown here on the left. Care must be taken to ensure the maximum contrast so that the IAF letterform is clearly legible.

Please check with the Director of Marketing & Partnerships if you are unsure. Images with too much detail and small groups of people should be avoided.

This application of our logo works particularly well when using moving imagery in video and presentations.

To ensure stand-out and legibility it’s important our logo maintains a certain distance from other graphic elements, text and imagery. We call this clear space area the exclusion zone. A minimum clear space area (shown left as ‘i’) must be maintained around our logo. For clarity, the smallest size our logo can be used is 10mm in width.

2.5 Core elements Exclusion zone and minimum logo size

Minimum logo size

10mm

The exclusion zone is the height of the ‘i’ without the dot or tittle

Our unique strapline has been crafted to communicate what we do. The strap-line and logo have been designed to work together to maximise legibility in exact proportions. The distance between our logo and the strapline is the height of the ‘i’ without the dot (tittle).

The logo and strapline lock-up depicted here is a unit like a picture and should never be recreated.

2.6 Core elements Strapline and lock-up device

The IAF is an international association and our regional logos reflect that.

Each region has its own unique logo and colourway that distinguishes it from the other.

The purple IAF logo is used solely for Global communication and cannot be used at a regional level.

When you are advertising or promoting an event in your region, please always use your unique logo file.

Check if a template for your document already exists in your regional section. If not, you may use a .jpg format which you will be able to view, but this format is not suitable for professionally printed publications. For web use, a .jpg is usually the best format. Each logo application requires a specific logo size, and these details are shown in section 2.5.

The original files and artwork for the regions can be obtained from your Regional Director. If you are unclear about its use, please contact the Director of Marketing & Partnerships on [email protected]

Passion and Courage. The IAF purple is used for all international communication and represents the main IAF colour.

The accent colours represent the different regions and can be used to highlight text, for backgrounds and illustrations. When used in headings and titles, the lighter accent colours are not recommended for type sizes below 16 points.

Our colours give us our personality. We’re both confident, modern and international in our approach and outlook. IAF Purple is our core colour and represents all board level communications.

The colour purple has different meanings in different cultures. For some it has regal connotations, for others it represents wisdom. The IAF global purple stands for Creativity, Imagination, Awareness,

Our colour palette works together really well and can be mixed and used in varying proportions to give a strong and vibrant impression or a bright and lighter one.

Each region can use the whole colour palette with their regional logo.

Generally speaking, dark backgrounds work well with brighter highlights, and light backgrounds work well with darker highlight colours.

Ensure there is always enough colour contrast. Here are some examples of different moods that you can create with colour.

2.15 Core elements Typography

Typography is a powerful tool in developing a visual identity. It pulls together our communications and makes it distinctive.

Frutiger is our primary font. Its clean lines give the IAF brand its individuality. Frutiger is a sans-serif typeface by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger and was commissioned in France in 1968 for the directional signage system of the then new Charles de Gaulle International Airport. It has stood the test of time and has been chosen for its modern, simple and legible yet warm and approachable character.

For electronically communicated materials, online and when there is no access to Frutiger, the system font Arial may be used.

You can purchase the Frutiger Font family here: http://www.fonts.com/font/linotype/frutiger-family

3.1 Using images Photography

For great examples of photography and illustration use, refer to the website.

It is more visually powerful to use one overall photo in single-page applications, such as advertisements, banners and product sheets.

When selecting photos for larger layouts or complex messages, look for opportunities to tell a simple story which supports the written content and helps the IAF audience to understand and engage with the message.

Crop photos to create dynamic scale relationships on your page layout. Eliminate distracting or less attractive details and focus on the most important aspect.

Full colour images should be bright and energetic. Use interesting perspectives and angles to create a direct, fresh, and dynamic look.

Show the diversity of people in the IAF organisation and in the IAF Focus areas of facilitation. This includes age, gender, dress, country of origin, and areas of responsibilities in relation to facilitation.

Use the eight photography themes as a guide when selecting imagery.

People Facilitation Inclusivity Openness Global perspective Professionalism Leadership Excellence

The themes are based on key pillars of the IAF brand and reflect the IAF brand personality and style, as well as IAF members areas of expertise.

Real photographs (not clip art or stock images) should be used whenever possible to convey these themes. When real photographs are not available, stock photography that look real is acceptable, but should only be used in meaningful ways. IAF messages are better portrayed through real photographs of real people, real environments, and real world situations. If you require help selecting photos or would like access to our current stock, please contact the Director of Marketing & Partnerships at [email protected]

5.7 Applications Campaign

Here is an example of a campaign working across multiple devices. Clear icons illustrate key messages for simple animations and static images.

For images and animation Frutiger Black 36pt on 31pt is used for headings and Frutiger Roman 28pt on 34pt for general copy.

Call to action lines such as ‘Discover more’ are Frutiger Bold 28pt on 30pt.

To maintain consistency across banners on the home page, Facebook and Twitter, one colour was selected and another to highlight text and maximise legibility. Short punchy headlines in white work best. Always choose a maximum of two highlight colours per page as not to make the page overly colourful.
