Brand FAQs

What formats are templates available in?

Currently, templates are available in Word (for documents and posters) and PowerPoint (for presentations). Additional formats (including, for example, Keynote and Pages) may be developed in the future. If you have a specific request on this matter, please email the the Marketing Services team

How often are the brand guidelines updated?

There are monthly brand review meetings where any issues and new developments are discussed. As a result of these meetings, the brand guidelines are updated on a rolling basis, with the latest version always published to these pages. Please check back regularly to ensure that you are working with the latest version of the document.

The templates seems quite plain - how can I make sure that my message really stands out?

Our visual identity provides a consistent theme to support our marketing materials and communications, without overshadowing the content or message we're communicating. That's why the templates are designed to allow imagery and content to take centre stage. Please refer to section seven of the brand guidelines document, where you'll find details of our photography style, together with useful hints and tips for commissioning or selecting appropriate imagery. There’s also a searchable image library available online for Lancaster staff – for access, please email the the Marketing Services team.
