Federal Court of Australia
Logo, Colours and Typeface Guide
June 2016
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide clear guidelines on the visual
representation of the Court's logo. These guidelines help to build a strong
and consistent visual identity.
By maintaining consistent standards, we ensure the large volume of
communications we generate presents a cohesive image nationally and
internationally.
Every form of Court communication reinforces the Court’s reputation and
your role in perpetuating the Court identity is essential.
The Court logo
The Court logo represents the Court as a multifaceted and progressive entity.
Colours
The colours are the defining feature of the Court logo. They represent our
diverse jurisdiction as well as the multiple and unceasing improvements we
make to remain an internationally respected Court. The colours moving from
subtle to strong demonstrate the Court’s transformation.
Wordmark
The wordmark demonstrates the authority of the Court. The relationship
between the logo elements is pre-determined and fixed. Do not alter the
proportions or placement of any of the signature elements of the logo.

Clear space
Clear space
Clear space is the area surrounding the logo that must be kept free of other
graphic elements. The minimum required clear space is defined by the
measurement 1.5x as shown.
Minimum size
Establishing various minimum sizes for the logo helps it stand out as much as
possible. The minimum size 70mm shown here should accommodate most
applications. Applications such as the signage may require larger sizes.
Logo usage
Colour treatment
The preferred colour for any type of signage is always Court Black. For Court
letters, memorandums and facsimiles, the font colours should also be Court
Black.
Background control
Generally, it is always preferable to place the logo on a white background;
there are times when it will need to appear over a colour. In these cases,
make sure that the logo elements are as visible as possible.

Colour palette
Court colours
For the best print quality reproduction and organisation wide consistency,
the Court colours should be printed as solid.
Court Black is RGB 000 or Pantone Solid Coated Black 6 C.
PANTONE® colours
If a PANTONE colour is not available, a RGB match may be appropriate.
Always use the approved colour palette shown here.
Display the wordmark using the Court Black whenever possible.
Please contact the Web Team for questions regarding colours.
Court typefaces
The Court has two typefaces available for use:
Calibri
Times New Roman
Both are easy to read.
A san serif type (Calibri) style helps the Court communicate in a strong,
simple manner.
A serif type (Times New Roman) style aids the reader when there are large
volumes of text.
Please contact the Web Team to learn about when to use particular
typefaces.
