The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance and assistance when commissioning or producing visual communications materials for the Board, across all media, including all forms of print and screen-based delivery.
This document covers a wide range of applications, including stationery, literature, PowerPoint presentations, press advertising and email communications. We also offer guidance on the correct use of the board logo, and advice on the corporate colour scheme.
Also covered are design guidance on display materials, branding on promotional items and the commissioning and art direction of photography.
Northern Ireland Policing Board Corporate Identity Guide
Some of the information contained here will inevitably touch on techniques and processes specific to the design, reprographics and printing industries, but we have
tried hard to maintain a jargon-free style.
The guidance contained in this document has been developed in accord with the general principles as set out out in “Inclusive Design” published by the International Society of Type Designers and the Royal National Institute for the Blind.
Definitive guidance cannot be given here on all aspects of accessibility as needs vary depending on the end user. When preparing communications material, Board officials should make sure that it suits the needs of their target audiences and that alternative formats are available if necessary. Further guidance is available from the Press and Public Relations Branch.
This document is available in both printed and electronic format, and can be supplied as hard copy, or as a PDF by CD or email. It must not be altered or modified in any way without the permission of the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
The Board logo itself can be made available for use in a variety of formats directly from the Northern Ireland Policing Board.
