Logo construction + clearspace

The SUNFM 106.5 logo requires seperation from the other elements around it. The space required on all sides is roughly eqivalent to the cap height of the logo type. It never should be less than that. The logo must always fit into the clearspace area and can not be intervened by other graphical elements which could hinder legibility of the brand.

Please note that text or pictorial figures which have strong impact or impression should not be placed near the logos even though you keep the isolation area blank.

Main title: Industry Inc [Stencil]

Size is the simplest way to create contrast between different typographic elements in your design. With different levels of typography, the font size generally starts out largest on top (level one; your most important information) and decreases in

size as you move down the page.

Heading 2: Industry Inc [Inline] Layout, for both print and screen, is one of the most important aspects of graphic design. Designs that extend across multiple pages or screens, whether containing large or small amounts of type, must be carefully controlled in a way that is enticing and is easy for all to access.

Here are some of the most common examples for the designs.

In our colour palette, use photos with our yellow in it, minimise all other colours where possible, keep the focus on yellow, the warm corporate yellow and not neon, fluorescent or pastel yellow. Black & White and Greyscale photography teamed up with solid blocks of yellow. Radio presenters, local scenery and events, mono and isolated radio gear and elements.

photography Good imagery helps to reinforce our values and creativity. Any photography needs to be professional in its approach and engaging in its content. It is essential for our SUNFM 106.5 brand, as it creates emotion and has a distinct personality.

The uniqueness of each photo will help to reiterate the independent spirit of our brand.

Sometimes photos are not enough to convey a message. Strong geometric shapes and lines teamed up with solid blocks of our primary colour gives visual impact. Shapes and lines should be carefully selected to suit the voice of the SUNFM 106.5 brand.
