2.1 Introduction Our mission Arts Council England works to get great art to everyone by championing, developing and investing in artistic experiences that enrich people s lives. As the national development agency for the arts, we support a range of artistic activities from theatre to music, literature to dance, photography to digital art, carnival to crafts. Great art inspires us, brings us together and teaches us about ourselves and the world around us. In short, it makes life better. Using our mission and mission statement Our mission statement is a brief sentence communicating the purpose of Arts Council England. It is most frequently used for internal purposes. Our full mission (also known as standard wording ) builds on the mission statement and gives additional context to it. It should be used when we need to communicate with external audiences about what we do and what our ambitions are as an organisation. The words of this text should not be edited or the paragraphs moved about. However this text has been written in a logical order, so paragraphs can be cut from the bottom up, without affecting the overall message. Between 2008 and 2011 we ll invest in excess of 1.6 billion of public money from the government and the National Lottery to create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country. Mission statement To get great art to everyone by championing, developing and investing in artistic experiences that enrich people s lives.

2. Our brand Arts Council England is a unique organisation. We champion, fund and develop the arts across England. Our brand has the arts and creativity at its core. It represents the artists and arts organisations we celebrate and support, and shows that we nurture creativity and encourage individual engagement. We re an advocate for the arts community, as well as a promoter of the arts, so our brand should be confident, vocal and visible. It s important that our brand reflects the trust placed in us by the Government, National Lottery and the public. They rely on us to be an authority on the arts and to use our expertise and judgement to make wise decisions about arts funding and development. So our brand not only has to show we aspire to be contemporary and forward-thinking, but also that we are responsible, trustworthy and accountable. We promote openness and diversity in our work, and across the arts. This is embodied through our brand and is integral to our relationships with artists, arts organisations and the public.

2.3 Introduction Our brand identity Our brand identity has been developed to communicate the essence of our brand. It is designed to encourage creativity and be flexible enough to allow us to be expressive, engaging and contemporary. It also enables us to develop different faces to suit the audiences we re targeting. Our identity should always be used in a way that focuses on creativity, innovation and accessibility. This will create a strong, coherent and recognisable brand; a look and feel that helps us convey our messages effectively. These guidelines have been developed to offer guidance and support to everyone who works at Arts Council England, our partners and the agencies who are involved with our marketing and communications. The consistent elements of the identity give our communications a structure and a high level of quality and professionalism. This provides a platform to communicate creatively through the introduction of other elements, such as creative typography and illustration, where it is appropriate to do so. Our brand identity is designed to strike a balance between creative freedom and the consistent application of elements such as our logo, core colours and typefaces, which gives us a distinctive and recognisable presence.

General guidance on when to use these logos and how they can be obtained can be found below. Arts Council England logo This is the standard logo which will be used on all Arts Council England communications. It can be obtained by contacting the marketing and brand development department at national office. Arts Council England exceptional use logo This version of the logo can be used in exceptional circumstances where the roundel needs to be supported by the additional wording, to make it as clear as possible. Exceptional circumstances could include when the logo is featured in a line up of logos, or if it has to feature below the minimum size. If you think you need to use this version of the logo please contact the marketing and brand development department at national office.

3.2 Logo Our logo The Arts Council England s logo must be clearly visible wherever it is used. It is essential that our logo is used correctly and consistently in all communications. It must never be redrawn or modified.

3. Minimum logo sizes Minimum size 15mm Minimum size usage To make sure that the logo is always readable and recognisable, it must be reproduced at 15mm as a minimum size. A small use version of the logo is available for situations where the logo is required to be used below the minimum size. See section 3.6 for more details and how to obtain this version of the logo. DL and A5 page formats 18mm 36mm A4 page formats 25mm 50mm Recommended sizes for different page dimensions There are also recommended minimum sizes for a variety of page dimensions. The size of the logo on a page is affected by many variables, including hierarchy of information, contrast, layout, ownership of the page etc. Shown here are recommended minimum logo sizes for various page formats. Use these sizes wherever possible to maintain consistency across all communications. To calculate a minimum size for any other size paper, we recommend referring to the logo size for an A4 page and enlarging proportionally within the design package, eg Adobe Indesign. For example, for an A1 format, the logo appears at a height of 70mm. A3 page formats When reproducing the logo on screen and on the web, it must be clearly visible. A minimum height of 70 pixels has been set to ensure this. A2 page formats 70px Screen and web

3.4 Logo Logo positioning Exclusion zone The exclusion zone (indicated by the solid line) is the minimum area around the Arts Council England logo that must remain clear of typography or any other graphic device. When placed on a photographic image, please ensure that the logo is placed on a clear background to help visibility. The formula for the exclusion zone is shown here and applies to all sizes of logo reproduction. It is calculated by using twice the height of the A in the Arts Council logo and varies in direct proportion to the size at which the logo is reproduced. Top left Top right Positioning The positioning of the logo should be in any of the four corners of a design layout. The logo should be positioned at least the distance of the exclusion zone from the edge of the page. Generally, the position of the logo is decided by the grid layout and how it will sit on the image being used. In emails and on Arts Council England websites the logo should be positioned in the top left-hand corner to ensure that it is always visible when viewed in different sized browser windows. When the logo is applied to materials where there is no obvious grid or edge of the page to align the logo to (ie merchandise or event materials), it should be sized and positioned appropriately to the particular application. On these occasions, please discuss this first with the Marketing and Brand Development department at National office. Bottom left Bottom right

3.5 Logo Logo reproduction Dark background Light background The Arts Council England logo should be reproduced either black (when on a light colour or image) or reversed white-out (when on a dark colour or image). There may be occasions where for practical reasons (such as the project being printed in a single colour), or aesthetic reasons (the logo looks better using another colour which is used predominantly in the design) that the logo needs to be produced in an alternative colour. On these occasions please discuss this with the marketing and brand development department at national office. When using the logo on a photographic background, ensure it is positioned on an area which is free from tonal variation or image detail, and where it will be clearly visible. Photographic background In all situations, ensure that there is a significant contrast between the logo and the background. denotes a continuation of page

3.6 Logo Exceptional use logo Light background Dark background Arts Council England exceptional use logo This version of the logo can be used in exceptional circumstances where the roundel needs to be supported by the additional wording, to make it as clear as possible. Exceptional circumstances could include when the logo is featured in a line up of logos, or if it has to feature below the minimum size. If you think you need to use this version of the logo please contact the marketing and brand development department at national office. Size rule: For use when roundel has to appear less than 15mm high < 15mm

3.7 Logo Sub-identities Example: Light background Exclusion zone and distance Dark background The relationship between the Arts Council and its sub-identities should be clear within the logo relationship. There is no template for creating these logos therefore if you need to use the Arts Council logo in this way please follow the guidelines on these two pages to create the correct relationship with the sub-identity logo. The dividing rule The rule which divides the Arts Council logo from the sub-identity logo should always be created to be the same height as the Arts Council logo. When creating the relationship, the dividing rule should be 1.2 points in weight when the Arts Council logo is 25mm in diameter (its recommended size for use on A4 documents).

3.8 Logo Sub-identities Vertically aligned logo Horizontally aligned logo Vertical and horizontal alignment For sub-identity logos where the height is larger than the width, a vertically aligned version of the logo relationship should be used. Whether aligned vertically or horizontally the sub-identity logo should, where possible, be sized and positioned to sit within the height or width of the Arts Council logo. Visually aligned logo Visual alignment On occasions a logo will not sit well when resized to the same height or width as the Arts Council logo. In this instance, the logo should be visually aligned.

3.9 Logo Grant award logos Grant award logo Light background Grant award logo This logo is to be used by all organisations which have received Arts Council funding. The addition of Supported by communicates the Arts Council s role in the activity. The grant award logo and the related guidelines for its use can be downloaded at: www.artscouncil.org.uk/grantawardlogo Dark background National Lottery grant award logos Lottery grant award logo These logos are to be used by all organisations which have received Grants for the arts funding. It can be obtained by downloading from One Place or by contacting the marketing and brand development department at national office.

3.10 Logo National Lottery distributor logo Arts Council England is a distributor of National Lottery funds. Therefore the distributors Crossed Fingers logo should feature alongside the Arts Council logo on any materials relating to a project or programme that National Lottery money has supported. Try to use the logo in full colour. If this raises practical difficulties, ie you are printing in one colour only, then you can use the logo in black. When using the logo, it should be positioned on the same side as the Arts Council logo, at the bottom of the page. In publications, put the Crossed Fingers logo on the front or back cover in the bottom right hand corner. Please note that the National Lottery logo for distributors is different to the one used by recipients of National Lottery funding. In this instance the National Lottery grant award logo should be used. Please refer to www.artscouncil.org.uk/grantawardlogo for the full guidelines. 7mm Minimum sizes and exclusion zones To make sure the logo is clear and easy to read please check the crossed fingers symbol is at least 7mm in height. There is an exclusion zone to protect the logo from graphic elements like type or imagery that can obscure the logo. The formula for the exclusion zone is shown here and applies to all sizes of reproduction. For further guidance please refer to the National Lottery common branding guidelines.

4 1 Colour Core colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Our core colour palette is made up of two colours (and black and white). They are not the only colours available to use, but should be used anywhere that a strongly branded presence is required. Consistent use of these colours, in conjunction with black and white, will enable us to build brand recognition with our various audiences. Tints Tints of the core colours should not be used as background colour, although 50 per cent tints may be used to denote hierarchy in headings and a range of tints may be used for graphs, charts and forms. Black and white In most situations the Arts Council logo will be produced in black and white. Black and white can also be used in layouts to complement the core colours and create a strong branded presence. Magenta Pantone Proc.

It is split into a bright palette (including silver), and a corresponding subdued palette (including bronze). We have divided the secondary palette in this way in order to be able to change the tone of our communications to suit the audience group we are targeting. The supporting palette can be used to complement the colour palette, along with black and white, or as an alternative colour palette where appropriate. It may also be useful when creating sub-identities for campaigns and events. Tints Tints of the supporting colours should not be used as background colour, although 50 per cent tints may be used to denote hierarchy in headings and a range of tints may be used for graphs, charts and forms. Using alternative colours These colours provide the necessary guidance to maintain overall consistency of the brand identity. However, in order to allow the flexibility to produce impactful and engaging communications for different audiences it is possible to use other colours where appropriate. If you wish to use alternative colours, please discuss this first with the marketing and brand development department at national office.

5 1 Typography Primary typeface: Frutiger Our primary typeface is Frutiger. It is a clear cut classic modern typeface with good legibility. It must be used anywhere where a strongly branded presence is needed. Light Roman Bold Black %:; { }@ $ 12345 67890 & abcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz Within the Frutiger family, you can choose between four weights of the typeface: Frutiger Black, Frutiger Bold, Frutiger Roman and Frutiger Light. Never apply type effects, eg shadows and outlines, to the Arts Council s typefaces. Frutiger Light ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789!?.,;- @ %&*() Frutiger Roman ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789!?.,;- @ %&*() Frutiger Bold ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789!?.,;- @ %&*() Frutiger Black ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789!?.,;- @ %&*()

5 2 Typography Secondary typeface: New Baskerville Our secondary typeface is New Baskerville.

5 4 Typography Creative typography Other typefaces, bespoke typeforms and handwritten type may be used to create sub-identities, titles or headings if it is appropriate to the brief, type of communication and the audience. Use of creative typography will help to communicate our new brand direction and make better connections with our audiences. For example, the name of a campaign, event or publication may benefit from a distinctive typographic look and feel which helps to communicate its personality to the audience. This typographic style, or sub-identity, can then be used to provide consistency and recognition throughout a campaign, event or series of marketing communications. If you would like to use creative typography within a brief, then please discuss this first with the marketing and brand development department at national office.

5 5 Typography Headings Always assess the information you are working with and establish a clear and logical hierarchy of information. Main heading Supporting heading Subheading Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Fusce orci mi, pretium ac, condimentum ut, hendrerit non, purus. Nulla facilisi. Pellentesque non risus vitae massa feugiat vestibulum. Nulla a risus. Proin sollicitudin arcu ut mi. Aliquam tempor eros at tellus. In viverra, neque sit amet tempor ultricies, vestibulum turpis eget pede varius pellentesque. Here are two examples of how emphasis is attributed through the use of contrasting weight, colour and/or typesize. The number of type sizes and weights used within a document should be kept to a minimum. Note that all text headings are ranged left, not centred. Page numbers, if required, should be on the outside bottom edge of the page when pages are facing, and on the right hand bottom edge when pages are single sided. Main heading Supporting heading Subheading Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Fusce orci mi, pretium ac, condimentum ut, hendrerit non, purus. Nulla facilisi. Pellentesque non risus vitae massa feugiat vestibulum. Nulla a risus. Proin sollicitudin arcu ut mi. Aliquam tempor eros at tellus. In viverra, neque sit amet tempor ultricies, vestibulum turpis eget pede varius pellentesque.

5 6 Typography House writing style Always use single quote marks Leave only one space after full stops Use round bullet points They should be the same point size as copy These are a few of our house style rules for setting copy. Please follow these to maintain a consistency within all of our communications. For further information please refer to the full Arts Council England house style guidelines. When you are presenting a bulleted list, introduce it with a colon, do not put any full stops at the end of your bullet points and begin each new bullet in lowercase 1 Numbering should also be the same point size as body copy 2 No full stop after each number Shorten Arts Council England to the Arts Council or we, not ACE, the Council or it Avoid abbreviations: regularly funded organisations not rfos or RFOs, and never say BME, always Black and minority ethnic Use as few capital letters as possible, eg race equality scheme not Race Equality Scheme. Remember that your headings and sub-headings are initial upper case only so Vibrant communities: becoming focused on place not Vibrant Communities: Becoming Focused on Place Titles of any new publication or initiative should use leading capitals like a normal sentence, eg Grants for the arts not Grants For The Arts Monday 21 February, not Mon February 21st or any other variation No hyphens in commonly joined up words such as cooperate, email, artform No full stops in abbreviations eg, ie, RSC Don t underline copy

5 7 Typography Accessibility Example a: good use of contrast non-cramped leading good use of kerning In order to make sure our communications are accessible to the widest audience possible, it is essential to follow these rules when setting type: keep all type 10pt and above keep all body copy left-aligned do not cramp leading (line spacing) or kerning (letter spacing) make sure there is a good contrast between the text and the background keep all text horizontal make sure there is adequate space in the use of margins and gutters avoid splitting words over two lines where possible Example b: bad use of contrast cramped leading badly kerned accessibility legibility

5 8 Layout Paper and print Always aim to use paper and print techniques which are environmentally friendly, and work with print and production suppliers who have FSC and ISO14001 accreditation. FSC and/or recycled paper stock should be used wherever possible in addition to print processes which utilise the latest environmental technology, such as inks which use vegetable based oils and solvents which can be recycled. When crediting your print, check with your print supplier on the correct terminology.

5 9 Layout Grids A well considered grid will not constrain a layout but will allow for variation, flexibility and pace. The grid can form the basis of many different types of communications (brochures, posters, annual reports, etc). They aid legibility and ensure that layouts can successfully incorporate visual elements such as captions, photographs, illustrations, tables and diagrams. The example (left) shows text and images fitting into a four column layout, based on an underlying eight column grid. The eight column grid allows for additional flexibility within the layout, for captions etc. It is important to keep adequate space in the margins and the gutters. It is also important to use an optimum number of columns for the size you are designing to. For example, six columns of text on an A5 portrait document will be too narrow.

5 10 Layout Grids A4 and A3 The examples on this page illustrate the guiding principles for creating grids for our communications. These grids allow the flexibility necessary to create accessible and engaging materials, allowing appropriate space for headlines, body copy, images, charts, captions, etc. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

6.1 Imagery Imagery Imagery is an essential part of our identity. It is the one of the most powerful tools we have to express our brand. The use of imagery has been developed to allow more flexibility and creative use. We use three main types of imagery: photography of Arts Council England funded projects; commissioned or photo library imagery; and illustration. This choice means that we can tailor our communications for purpose, and enables us to engage better with different audiences by producing relevant communications. Illustration: Emily Forgot

6.2 Imagery Funded project photography We use powerful images of art and art practice to demonstrate the power of the arts, communicate creative energy and support our position as a platform for the arts. The arts imagery we use is always of projects which have been funded by the Arts Council. Image usage In 2008 we reviewed our photo permission agreements for all new photography with the aim of allowing more flexibility with the reproduction of photography. Therefore if permissions allow, you could consider the following treatments: black and white single colour cut out cropped Photography commissioned using older photo permission agreement forms may not permit these treatments. Please check the form before you use any image. Captions All images must be captioned including the photographer credit. Use italics for titles of artworks when they are written in full, both in body copy and captions. Top left: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley, 2007.

6.3 Imagery Commissioned and photo library imagery Examples will appear here once they become available. Commissioned or sourced imagery can be used to communicate a particular message, campaign or event. This type of imagery may communicate through an idea, it may be used to evoke an emotional response or used as an abstract background. It may also be used if imagery is required but there is no appropriate project imagery available. This type of imagery enables us deliver our aim of communicating creatively with our audiences. Commissioning or sourced photography should be contemporary and high quality, reflective of our values. It should be dynamic, inspiring, engaging and full of impact.

6.4 Imagery Illustration Illustration can be used to communicate a message, create personality or support written content. It can be used to support photography, or when a photograph isn t available, or when the subject matter does not lend itself to a photographic image.
