Branding Guidelines Launch
The communications team can offer advice and support on the use of the guidelines so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at digital.comms@orkney.gov.uk – we’re more than happy to help. Similarly if you have feedback on the guidelines we’d love to hear from you.
Why is branding important?
A brand is a lot more than just a logo - it is also how an organisation is perceived by the outside world. How we present ourselves in words, colours and imagery can help build a brand. Having a consistent style nurtures trust and recognition. This is key when we need to deliver key messages and communications to our audience and to improve understanding around the breadth of services this organisation provides.
