Logos and
branding
Girlguiding UK recognises the importance of promoting a strong,
professional, recognisable identity at all levels, from national to
local. Our publications
guidelines contain rules which determine the correct use of the
Girlguiding UK logo and the ‘girls in the lead’ strapline to ensure
that they are used consistently and are therefore immediately
recognisable. The guidelines also explain how our corporate and
secondary colours should be used so that Girlguiding UK
publications are easily recognisable.
Trade marks and
copyright
Girlguiding UK has protected as far as possible the use of
certain terminology and designs. These are
registered trade marks and must not be used by any manufacturer on
any goods for sale without written permission from Girlguiding
UK.
All published material is covered by the law of copyright. This
includes text, illustrations, computer programs, sound and film
recordings, broadcasts and sheet music. Anyone wishing to copy
published material for a guiding purpose must contact each
copyright holder requesting permission (preferably written) to
reproduce the material. Permission may not be required:
- when an item is out of copyright, ie when the author has been
dead for at least 70 years
- when an item is ‘traditional’ (and it is reasonable to assume
that the author has been dead for at least 70 years)
- to quote a very small extract as part of a review of the
material or for research or private study.
