Logo introduction
The National Women 
in Transport logo is the 
foundation of all our visual 
communications.
The yellow Women device 
appears on the left of the 
logo, representing Women 
and their role in the transport 
industry.
When we talk about women, 
we include women and people 
of diverse genders, anyone 
who identifies as a woman or 
identifies as non-binary.

and variations, please contact

Primary logo
Primary logo with strapline
The primary logo consists of the 
yellow Women device and wordmark.
For most instances, the primary 
logo includes our strapline ‘Women 
Leading Transport.’ But we do have 
a horizontal version without the 
strapline for applications with space 
or sizing limitations.
The primary logo will always be 
supplied in master form, with the 
strapline included. It should never 
be reconstructed or redrawn. Please 
do not change the proportions, 
compress, extend, slant or distort any 
element of the logo.
The primary logo should be used 
wherever possible. The primary logo 
Primary logo only
should be used on all National Women 
in Transport material, including 
stationery, however, repetitive useage 
should be avoided (i.e. once only on 
the cover of a report, or once only on 
the first page of a letter).
For access to the primary 
logo files, please contact 
<email>.

Inverse logo
Inverse logo with strapline
The logo is available in an inverse colour 
format to maximise legibility with a 
strong contrast between the wordmark 
and the background.
When appearing over an image or dark 
background, the inverse logo can be used 
(with or without strapline) in white. This 
will to ensure full and clear legibility.
Inverse logo only

white logo
The monotone logo should only be used 
when full-colour reproduction is not 
possible.
This logo is available in two formats; 
black and white. The appropriate format 
should be used to maximise legibility, 
with a strong contrast between the logo 
and the background.
It must always appear legibly on a 
clear background. For legibility and 
impact, the black logo appears on a 
light background (preferably white) 
and the white logo appears on a light 
background (preferably black).

Our primary logo is most effective 
when surrounded by plenty of clear 
space. The minimum recommended 
clear space between our logo, text, 
the edge of a page, or another 
graphic element is based on the 
height of the circular element in the 
graphic device, as shown on the right.

The minimum recommended size for 
our logo is shown on the right of this 
page. Note this is the minimum size 
and not necessarily the ideal size.

Title – mention the audience if you can 
First paragraph – start by mentioning the target audience first. Use who, what, where, why, how if 
you can fit it in one sentence.  
Second paragraph – introduce your voice without using quotation marks. Write non-quotes in past 
tense.  Usually this will be CEO of the National Transport Commission (NTC) Paul Retter said …..  You 
should insert your problem statement here if you can and address who this problem will be resolved 
by. 
Third paragraph – use your most powerful quote here.  Use your best key message if one has been 
developed. The quote should reference the problem or issue you are hoping to solve and if 
applicable, mention any safety, productivity or environmental benefits.  
Continue writing according to pyramid style (present the problem statement; related or supporting 
information; methodology - how did something occur? Results; conclusion, outcomes or most 
important information).  
You should use active sentences for quotes. 
Keep all sentences as short, clear and concise.  
Towards the end discuss what the next steps are if relevant. 
Try to include a call to action if there is one. 
Try to keep all writing, but particularly quotes, to a Flesch Kincaid reading level of about eight if you 
can. 
If you are unfamiliar of how to set up Flesch Kincaid in Word and what it means have a look here:
