2. Introduction
This Brand Standards Guide helps designers accurately
portray Genome Canada’s personality in external and internal
communications. The aim is to present a strong, uniform brand
message to employees of Genome Canada and Genome Centres,
as well as to partners and the general public. From writing
style to colour palette, typography,
logos and layout, every element of
a communication should reinforce
the image of Genome Canada as
a science-based organization — a
world leader in providing funding
for genomics and proteomics research.
3. The specifications outlined within this
guide will help designers create a strong
family look for Genome Canada, yet
allow room for individual creativity.
While this guide provides general
guidelines, it can’t anticipate every graphic
application of the Genome brand. If you
have a project that requires unspecified
graphic treatments, please contact
Genome Canada’s corporate office.
4. Brand Standards Guide 2
Corporate Logo
This section demonstrates the proper use and
application of the Genome Canada logo. As our
identifying mark, it enhances recognition and
allows for easy application of the Genome name.
The elements of the logo are fixed and should
not be altered in any way. The graphic element
(stylized “g”) in the logo should never be separated
from the logotype (Genome Canada).
The stylized “g” of the design symbolizes a double
helix (of DNA) and uses the Genome corporate
blue for all the regions. The six regions (see next
page) use differentiating colours with the Genome
corporate blue — linking them all. The first letter
“e” in Genome has a unique application and is
designed to work in both official languages.
The logo must always be protected on all sides
by a negative or white space equivalent to the
height of the letter “G” of Genome. This exclusion
zone must be free of all non-branded graphic or
copy elements, and is to be respected under all
circumstances. Remember to treat the logotype
and spiral as one image (logo) — always use the
master files that have been supplied.
For specific applications that don’t allow the use of
colour, the Genome logo may be reproduced using
100% black. It can also be reproduced in white
on the Genome corporate blue or other coloured
backgrounds. The Genome logo may be reversed
out of an image, if there is enough of a contrast.
5. Brand Standards Guide 3
Colours
Using colour consistently is essential in
strengthening brand awareness. Our primary
colours are Genome corporate blue and red.
Both are used in the Genome spiral and logotype.
The two primary colours are specified for use
in Genome Canada publications. The colours
shown should be used as main colours in
corporate designs.
The secondary colour palette may be used for
highlights on other communications campaigns.

Secondary Colours
Here is an example applying secondary colours on
a Genome Canada publication.
6. Partnerships
With regard to partnerships, the Genome logo
is always side-by-side to its counterparts, never
above or below. The identifiers of the federal
government, provincial government, and Genome
Canada always precede partner logos, as applicable.
When placing the six Genome Centre logos
in various applications, make sure the order of
the logos are from west to east (as shown above).
Brand Standards Guide 4
Genome Centre Logos
The stylized “g” of the design remains Genome
corporate blue with the use of a second colour.
This second colour was chosen to represent
each specific region. The logotype remains
the Genome corporate blue.
When using a tagline for your centre, please
adhere to the protection space rules of the
corporate logo. If you must use a tagline, it
should appear beneath the Genome name,
but outside the protection space.

Typography
The fonts selected fit into the overall tone and
design style of the Genome Canada brand and
are intended to make the subject matter more
approachable. Overall, the fonts exemplify our
company’s confidence and contemporary outlook.
The headline typeface is Helvetica Neue —
distinctive and recognizable.
Writing Style
When speaking to diverse international audiences,
the Genome voice is confident, concise and
direct. The writing style should incorporate plain
language, with easy-to-understand terminology.
Because of the varied audiences, and the complex
language of genomics and proteomics, the writing
style should stress clarity over formality.
For communications specifically intended for
individuals, such as career ads, email or other
personalized communication, the first and second
person (“we” and “you”) is to be used. For more
formal communications that reach out to diverse
audiences or the general public, such as fact
sheets, corporate brochures and media releases,
the third person (“Genome Canada”) should
be used.

The body copy font to be used is Optima —
