What NOT to do
- Do not change the font of 'Burdekin Shire Council'.
- The proportion of the logo cannot be altered in anyway.
- The colours used in the logos must not be altered.
- Do not give the logo drop shadows, extra gradients, bevel or any other graphic effects.
- Never place the logo over the top of random colours, background images or textures.
Conjunctional Applications
When having the Burdekin Shire Council logo or Coat of Arms displayed in conjunction with any other organisations logos the following guidelines should be followed.
Format Used
Where possible always try and match the format of all logos. This may not always be possible so it is important that the Council logo visually matches the conjunctional logo/s. The logos should always align at the bottom.
Minimum Size
Always adhere to the minimum sizes specified for all logos being used.
Ensure that all logos being used are visually matched and balanced.
Clear Space
A clear space of 2x ‘n' should be left between each logo, the dividing line will be centred in this space.
The value of “n” is derived from the letter “n” in ‘Burdekin’ as previously mentioned.
Dividing Line
The dividing line is always centred in the clear space between the logos.
The line should always be 1pt in thickness, should always be black in colour and should match the height of our logo.
