Co-branded signs

As with other all other partnership materials, you must first determine whether Action for Children is the lead, joint or supporting partner.

If Action for Children is the lead partner

If Action for Children is the lead partner, the Action for Children logo should be ranged right and most prominent. The Project name should be aligned with the top of the Action for Children logo. The address lines (including any other details) levelled with the bottom of the Action for Children logo, and to add lines upwards into negative space.

The Action for Children URL should be ranged on the bottom right and any other supporting logos on the bottom left.

If Action for Children is a joint partner

If Action for Children is a joint partner, the joint partner logo should have equal prominence as the Action for Children logo; therefore they should be sized in proportion or as nearly as possible.

The Action for Children logo should be placed on the top right, and the joint partner logo on the top left. The Project and address lines should be placed in centre of the sign layout (both vertically and horizontally) but left aligned. The Project name should not be smaller in height than any other logo on the sign layout. Only one address line should be included, without the county or postcode, and the DCSF logo should go to the bottom left. Finally, the County or Local Authority logo should be placed on bottom right (the alternative is to have the Action for Children URL there if no other logo is needed).

Follow all other sizing and spacing rules as per main signage guidelines, and all 'd' space exclusion zones around Action for Children logo and around the borders of the sign layout.
