Promise
As the digital economy continues
to transform the way Australians
connect, we're looking to meet the
needs and fast paced demands
our customers now expect.
We’ve re-aligned our strategy to deliver
eCommerce to everyone, everywhere, every
day; helping Australians transact, get online,
shop, pay and deliver in a digital world.
Our strategy comes to life through our
Brand Promise – We Love Delivering – which
is the heart of who we are and the core of how
we connect communities and businesses
across Australia.
This new direction remains true to our enduring
purpose of 'helping deliver a better future',
whilst also ensuring we remain a relevant and
sustainable part of tomorrow.

Brand Promise:
Overview
Our We Love Delivering Brand
Promise expresses the big hearted,
aspirational and motivational
aspects of our business, to our
people and our customers.
The We Love Delivering Brand Promise consists
of the ‘We’ and ‘Delivering’ words — based on the
We Love Delivering Typeface and the Hero Heart
symbol. Please note that the Australia Post
logo and the Brand Promise are stand-alone
elements and never appear locked up together.
1	 Hero Heart
The Hero Heart symbol is made of an 85%
tint of Post Red and 100% Post Red.
2	 Brand Promise
For Consumer, Small Business and
Community applications, the Brand Promise
is built from the Hero Heart and the We Love
Delivering Typeface.
Please don't be tempted to recreate the
Brand Promise master file. It's been subtly
tweaked by a professional graphic designer
and simply typing it out will produce a
different result.
A full suite of stacked, horizontal, positive and
reversed versions, in all formats, is available —
although not from the Brand Hub. Please email
brand@auspost.com.au for access to the files.

Brand Promise:
Clear space and
minimum size
The Brand Promise has a
minimum size and minimum clear
space to make sure it’s always
easily identified.
1	 Clear space around the Brand Promise
(applicable to positive and negative versions)
Clear space is determined by dividing the
height of the Hero Heart by three. ‘X’ informs
clear space around the Brand Promise.
2	 Minimum print size
The smallest that the standard Brand
Promise should ever appear in print is 7.5mm
in height.
3	 Minimum digital size
The smallest that the standard Brand
Promise should ever appear on screen is
30px in height.

Our guest typeface:
We Love Delivering
Typeface
The We Love Delivering Typeface
has been developed specifically
for Australia Post. Its handwritten
form adds warmth and fun to
our campaigns.
The We Love Delivering Typeface is the
primary font for headlines in We Love Delivering
campaigns. AP Letter Regular is still used for
supporting copy, e.g. sub-headlines and
body copy.
We only use the We Love Delivering Typeface in
headline copy. Exceeding ten words or extending
to copy sub-headlines will compromise legibility.
We Love Delivering Typeface
•	 Used for headlines in uppercase for our
Consumer, Small Business, Community
and Internal campaigns
•	 Consistency of type size is preferred
•	 Headlines are left aligned
•	 Keep headlines short and sweet to ensure
legibility. Aim to use a maximum of six to
eight words over a maximum of four lines
•	 In tier 2 and 3 campaigns, headlines are
set in Black and Post Red. Post Red always
highlights the most important point
•	 Always set We Love Delivering with 0%
tracking, and make the leading the same
as the point size
•	 Keep copy lines to a maximum of
five words per line, exceeding this will
compromise legibility

Grid system:
General formats
overview
Our master grid for laying out
brand elements has been
designed to make it simple
to lay out elements across
various applications in a
consistent manner.
To make our grid system as easy to use as
possible, it is made up of perfect squares.
This does mean, however, that in some
instances, for example A-sized applications,
there may be some excess space left at the
bottom of the grid.
We've created a simple system using the excess
space, demonstrated on the right, to enable an
even border.
1	 First stage of grid
The grid is made up of perfect squares.
2	 Identified extra space
There is not enough space in the final row to
form perfect squares. We can identify this as
the extra space.
3	 Moved extra space
Move the identified extra space up two rows
of squares to form an even border.
4	 Finished grid
Please note:
This grid isn't used for document spreads
or any single page literature. Separate grids
have been created for these based on the
same principles. All templates can be located
on the Brand Hub.

Modular boxes:
Colour
The preferred colour of the
modular boxes is white.
For all print applications, the modular box is set
at an opacity of 85%.
Sometimes it will be necessary to slightly adjust
the opacity to suit the background image.
In order to meet AA Standards, modular
boxes should have 100% opacity for all digital
applications.
For more information on modular box opacity
and correct corner radius usage please refer to
the Master Brand Guidelines.

Size of the
Brand Promise
(tier 2, 3 and 4)
For tier 2, 3 and 4 campaign
communications, the Brand
Promise is scaled to half of the
height of the Australia Post logo.
The important factor to consider is the height of
the Hero Heart.
Always make sure the one square clear space
rule is applied to the baseline of the text in the

Headline messaging
(tier 2, 3 and 4)
To incorporate headline messaging
and body copy, keep in mind the
following guidelines.
The elements basically use the same composition,
but there's a couple of differences:
1	 The modular box is placed one square in from
the edge of the layout
2	 The Australia Post logo is set one square
in from the modular box
3	 The size of the Australia Post logo is
3x3 squares
4	 Allow two squares of clear space between
the logo and the headline
5	 The headline font can be any size, depending on
the layout and the application
6	 Allow one square of clear space between

    10 Brand Promise: Overview Our WeLove Delivering Brand Promise expresses the big hearted, aspirational and motivational aspects of our business, to our people and our customers. The We Love Delivering Brand Promise consists of the ‘We’ and ‘Delivering’ words — based on the We Love Delivering Typeface and the Hero Heart symbol. Please note that the Australia Post logo and the Brand Promise are stand-alone elements and never appear locked up together. 1 Hero Heart The Hero Heart symbol is made of an 85% tint of Post Red and 100% Post Red. 2 Brand Promise For Consumer, Small Business and Community applications, the Brand Promise is built from the Hero Heart and the We Love Delivering Typeface. Please don't be tempted to recreate the Brand Promise master file. It's been subtly tweaked by a professional graphic designer and simply typing it out will produce a different result. A full suite of stacked, horizontal, positive and reversed versions, in all formats, is available — although not from the Brand Hub. Please email brand@auspost.com.au for access to the files.

    14 Our guest typeface: WeLove Delivering Typeface The We Love Delivering Typeface has been developed specifically for Australia Post. Its handwritten form adds warmth and fun to our campaigns. The We Love Delivering Typeface is the primary font for headlines in We Love Delivering campaigns. AP Letter Regular is still used for supporting copy, e.g. sub-headlines and body copy. We only use the We Love Delivering Typeface in headline copy. Exceeding ten words or extending to copy sub-headlines will compromise legibility. We Love Delivering Typeface • Used for headlines in uppercase for our Consumer, Small Business, Community and Internal campaigns • Consistency of type size is preferred • Headlines are left aligned • Keep headlines short and sweet to ensure legibility. Aim to use a maximum of six to eight words over a maximum of four lines • In tier 2 and 3 campaigns, headlines are set in Black and Post Red. Post Red always highlights the most important point • Always set We Love Delivering with 0% tracking, and make the leading the same as the point size • Keep copy lines to a maximum of five words per line, exceeding this will compromise legibility ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890~!@#$%^and*()_+ 1 We Love Delivering Typeface WeLoveDelivering TYPEFACEfor headlinesonly Tracking: 0 Leading: Same as point size e.g. 54pt size 54pt leading

    21 1 First stageof grid 4 Finished grid 2 Identified extra space 3 Moved extra space Grid system: General formats overview Our master grid for laying out brand elements has been designed to make it simple to lay out elements across various applications in a consistent manner. To make our grid system as easy to use as possible, it is made up of perfect squares. This does mean, however, that in some instances, for example A-sized applications, there may be some excess space left at the bottom of the grid. We've created a simple system using the excess space, demonstrated on the right, to enable an even border. 1 First stage of grid The grid is made up of perfect squares. 2 Identified extra space There is not enough space in the final row to form perfect squares. We can identify this as the extra space. 3 Moved extra space Move the identified extra space up two rows of squares to form an even border. 4 Finished grid Please note: This grid isn't used for document spreads or any single page literature. Separate grids have been created for these based on the same principles. All templates can be located on the Brand Hub.
