Co-brand

Overview

Co-brand website logos are created by locking up the the Queensland Government crest with the site name or brand logo or namestyle. They can incorporate unique brand colours.

Desktop pattern

On desktop the side-stacked minimum sized CoA has been used as the lock up for with co-brand site names because it allows for the best use of vertical and horizontal height in the header.

The style is based on a pattern implemented by the South Australian government who have a very similar government logo. This lock up of the CoA and Site name is only permissible on Government websites.

Co-brand sites may also use namestyle for their site name, or in some cases, a logo that has been approved by the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

Where possible, logos and namestyles should not appear more dominant than the Queensland Government CoA.
