BRAND GUIDELINES
building clients for life
WELCOME TO THE LIFE BUILD BRAND GUIDELINES.
These guidelines have been produced to ensure that the maximum benefit is gained from our identity and to maintain a recognisable brand. The brand identity is created using a number of core elements: logo, typeface and colours.
These guidelines are intended to provide continuity and a framework in which to produce design for marketing, internal and external communications.
OUR LOGO
Our logo is for use on all materials.
It is essential that our logo is used correctly and consistently in all projects.
It should not be redrawn, modified or reproduced in shadow, outline or any other decorative way. The logo should not be reproduced from previously printed items.

LOGO USAGE
To ensure our logo is visible in all implementations, the logo needs to be surrounded by clear space. This exclusion zone is the minimum area that must always be kept free of any type or graphic element.

MINIMUM SIZE
The minimum size with the strapline is 35mm. The logo can be reduced to 20mm without the strapline.
PLEASE DON’T
The logos must never be redrawn or altered. By using the original digital artwork files consistency of the brand identity will be maintained.

BRAND COLOURS
Our brand has been created with a core colour palette for use on all documents. There is also a secondary palette to be used to compliment the core palette. Never use these colours alone.
For each colour there is a Solid Pantone, a CMYK, a RGB and HEX colour reference.
The majority of documents produced in-house by LifeBuild will use the RGB colour reference. The colours should ideally be used as solid colours however in certain documents (forms, tables etc...) the colours may be used as tints.

COLOUR VARIATIONS
The logo has four variations for use on different coloured media.
Use the primary logo on white and light coloured backgrounds, ensuing that it is completely legible. For darker backgrounds, select either the reversed format or the white format, using what is clearest. For black and white / single colour jobs, use the black version.
Each version can be used with or without the strapline.
