Recognizing Canada’s international assistance - Visual identity guidelines

Foreword - A fresh new look to recognize Canada’s international assistance

Each year, Canada’s international assistance partnerships help millions of people in 150 countries and territories. These contributions tell a story, whether they go toward helping to stop the spread of a pandemic, support for refugees, education for women and girls around the world, fighting climate change or improving market access for local businesses.

While Canada has been contributing to international assistance for nearly 75 years, Canadians are not always aware of the how these contributions help build a healthier, safer, more prosperous world. 抖淫视频 has developed this visual identity to help raise public awareness about the role the Government of Canada plays in international assistance.

This guide explains which visuals to use, and in what circumstances. It is intended for everyone who is involved in Canada’s international assistance – 抖淫视频, international assistance partners, and other federal government employees – to recognize Canada’s contributions to international assistance with a simple, clear visual identity, in Canada and abroad.

This guide will help us be more consistent and transparent as we recognize Canada’s investments in international assistance, and show the impact Canada and our partners make around the world.

Read on to learn more about the new look, and how to apply it!

Visual identity for Canada’s international assistance

How do you apply the visual identity in the real world? First, get informed. This guide has all the information you need to apply the visual to your communications products. Second, get creative. Use the visual identity to help you tie your creative content together with a bright, professional, distinctly Canadian style. And third, spread the word! Share your communications products with your target audience here in Canada, and around the world.

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance provides a common look-and-feel for all international assistance communications materials. It is not a logo with a single standard look. Rather, the visual identity includes the words, the tone and the font, as well as the colours, the graphics, and the imagery. These are visual building blocks that help shape people’s perception and understanding of Canada’s international assistance.

Different elements of the visual identity will be used based on the subject matter, the intended audience, and the communications product. This flexible branding approach helps us maintain the look across different initiatives, products and activities, both online and in print.

Our approach complies with the and the . Care has been taken to ensure that the graphic elements complement, but do not compete with, the Canada Wordmark as the official symbol of the Government of Canada.

Colour palette

Red, grey, black and white: A classic combination

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance uses four central colours as a foundational palette that work universally across all applications. The Canada red and the black remain the core colours for the brand to be used in conjunction with the monochromatic palette.

Importance of white

The use of white sets the stage for the visual identity’s colours to pop. Balanced ratios of white space can accentuate the vibrancy of bold colours, or elevate the sophistication of the monochromatic palette.

Typography

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance uses Noir Pro as the primary font.

Noir Pro

Noir Pro is a sans serif font family of 12 fonts with contemporary aesthetics heavily influenced by early 20th century geometric typefaces. While having its geometric structure, it has an organic personality with touch of warmth injected to each form.

The majority of communications products about Canada’s international assistance should be set to Noir Pro regular with the medium weight serving as heads, subheads or in creative typographic applications. Use the semibold weight to call out important words or information within the copy.

Arial

For those who do not have access to Noir Pro, the font should be set to Arial regular. Use the bold weight to call out important words or information within the copy.

Photography, videography and images

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance will often be paired with photos, images, and video footage to help demonstrate the impact of Canada’s international development and humanitarian aid projects.

When sourcing images or creating content, please ensure that all participants have given their informed consent to be photographed or filmed. Take care to ensure that the content is used with the permission of photographers, illustrators or graphic artists, and that they are credited appropriately.

Look for images that portray all people in a dignified and respectful manner. When possible, feature people actively participating in programs or activities. Be careful not to perpetuate harmful stereotypes, and work to find images that are hopeful and results-focused whenever possible.

Requirements for Canada’s international assistance partners

Our international assistance partners – including civil society organizations and multilateral partners – do essential work in partner countries, and are central voices in raising awareness about the importance of international assistance, and the impact of Canada’s contributions.

Canada’s role as a global player in international assistance must be effectively acknowledged in our partners’ communications products. Public acknowledgment of Canada’s contribution is a condition of accepting grants and contributions.

Read on for more detailed requirements for how partners must use the visual identity to acknowledge Canada’s investments in their initiatives.

Graphic elements for partners

This version of the visual identity for Canada’s international assistance has been developed especially for our partners. It features the Canada Wordmark, the stylized maple leaf, and a standard credit line that acknowledges Canada’s partnership.

These graphic elements work together to create consistency across all communications materials, yet also acknowledges a clear distinction between the work of the Government of Canada, and the work of civil society and multilateral organizations. We are proud to work with you, and this version of the visual identity keeps our partnership front-and-centre. It also functions as a built-in credit line.

Co-branding

The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance will often appear alongside the logos of our partners or other donors.

In co-branding instances, the visual identity for Canada’s international assistance must receive the same prominence and proportion as the identifiers of other funding parties who have made a similar contribution. If Canada is the major donor, our visual identity must be the most prominent one. For example, it must be placed first or above other identifiers, and should be larger if the design warrants it.

Clear space and minimum size

Our visual identity works best when it has space to stand out. Please take care not to place the visual identity for Canada’s international assistance on busy backgrounds with lots of text and images.

The minimum recommended clearance around the visual identity’s edges is approximately the height of the “C” in the Canada Wordmark.

Clear space

Make sure that you observe the clear space around the signature to maximize visual effectiveness.

Minimum size

To ensure legibility of the descriptor do not use the Canada Wordmark smaller than 2.54 cm (1”) wide.

Visual identity for partners “don’t”

Requirements for 抖淫视频

抖淫视频 will use the visual identity as standard common look-and-feel across all international assistance communications and program materials. All 抖淫视频 employees and contractors who work on the international assistance portfolio, in Canada and at missions abroad, are expected to familiarize themselves with the new visual identity and use it whenever they are representing the department. Employees are also expected to be able to give advice to partners about the visual identity, and direct them to the right resources for more information as needed.

The use of a consistent style is essential to help us present a more unified, recognizable identity to all audiences, in Canada and abroad. It’s about more than a new look: it’s about communicating more clearly and transparently about the investments Canada makes in international assistance, and the partners we work with around the world.

The visual identity provides us with a shared starting point, but it does not mean there is no room for creativity! The messages and the images used, as well as the style and types of communications products created, will be varied and designed to fit the purpose of the message and the intended audience.

Graphic elements for 抖淫视频

All 抖淫视频 communications products will include the core graphic elements of the maple leaf and the Canada Wordmark. Titles and messages will be specific to the initiatives being promoted and will be styled using the standard font and colour palettes.

Clear space and proportions

The Canada Wordmark may not be altered in any way. It is displayed prominently, in generous open space, free from close association with any interfering or distracting elements. It may not appear on a visually conflicting background. The Canada Wordmark and the half leaf are displayed as two distinct elements.

Protection zone

The protection zone is an area extending for a distance equal to the height of the "C", to the right, above and below, and twice that measurement to the left of the Canada Wordmark. The background of the protection zone is a single solid colour.
