Logos

Guild of Students and University of Birmingham Logo

Follow the advice issued by the Guild Of Students on use of the Guild and University logos. The advice is available through the Committee Admin page, on the Guild website.

CSS

In all cases, the full logo should be used. The bold variant should be preferred, where possible, but is not required. They are available in this repository.

Fonts

For the purposes of recreating the logo:

The font to be used in the logos is the bold variant of Inconsolata. The text should always be bold in the logo.

Publicity graphics may also make use of JetBrains Mono and Roboto.

Element	Usage	Font	Size
h1	Main Title	JetBrains Mono Bold	24
h2	Section Title	JetBrains Mono Bold	18pt / 24px
h3	Subtitle / Date	JetBrains Mono Light Italic	16pt / 24px
h4	Sub-section Title	JetBrains Mono Bold	14pt / 22px
p	Main Body	Roboto	11pt / 16px

Files

The provided svg, eps and png files in this repository should always be used. Where possible the vector formats should be preferred to maintain quality and ensure the images are rasterised to the correct resolution.

There is no need to recreate the logo, except as a last resort.

Stickers

Stickers are purchased on stickermule.com, and are Die Cut stickers. If full bleed is needed, it needs to be requested in the instructions to StickerMule to create the proof.
