Only by carefully following these
guidelines can we ensure that our
communications are distinctive,
instantly recognisable, consistent and
memorable.
Our brand identity consists of
several integral elements:
Our logotype
Our typefaces
Our colour palette
The way these elements are applied
and their relationship to each other
are critical in building the Cardiff
International Sports Stadium brand.

.eps
Illustrator eps is a vector file format
and as such is infinitely scaleable
without loss of quality. Eps should be
used wherever possible and should
always be supplied to designers and
printers.
.tif
Tif is a pixel based file format so will
suffer loss of quality if it is enlarged.
It should be used at the size it is
supplied or smaller. This file format is
useful for PC users.
.jpg
Jpeg is also pixel based but is
designed to use on screen. Use on
PCs for powerpoint presentations and
websites. Jpeg should not be used for
printed materials.

The no-go zone
An exclusion zone ensures a logotype stands
out clearly wherever it is used. It is defined as
the height of the typography element of the
logotype (x) and represents a minimum area of
exclusion, within which there should be
no other typography or graphic element.
However, wherever possible, additional space
around the logotype will increase the legibility
and impact of the mark.
Minimum size
To ensure legibility of the typography
and clarity of the mark, the logotype
should never be reproduced at less
than 18mm wide. This is an absolute
minimum rather than a preferred size
and should only be used when limited
space dictates.

The Master Brand logotype should be used at all times where
possible as it represents our name and what we stand for in it’s
purest form. However, there will be times when it cannot be
reproduced in it purest form.
Monotone, Positive and Negative versions have been created for use
when only one colour is available. ie: News Print or when colour is
beyond your control.

Imagery
When the logotype is placed over a photograph, the typography
must be clearly legible. Changing the positioning of the image may
be necessary.
Use the master brand on a white
background for maxium impact
clarity.
Use the negative mono logotype
on darker images where contrast
is not sufficient to support the
silver grey text of the brand.
Placing the logotype over areas of
high contrast or heavy pattern
should always be avoided.

Some basic guidelines
• When using text over blocks of colour, ensure the
background colour is of sufficient contrast for the text
to be legible.
• When using text over photographs, apply only to areas
of solid colour and where the contrast is sufficient to
ensure the text is legible.
• Never set large blocks of text in italics or capitals.
These should be used sparingly to create emphasis
where appropriate.
• In most cases, text should be left aligned. For large
blocks of body copy, text should always be left aligned.
However, common sense should be applied when
placing small areas of text such headings or captions.
Glypha LT Std should be used for all titles, headlines,
mastheads and body copy.
