ONE LOOK INFORMATION 
Hey, we encourage you to wear different coloured socks to work, but when it comes to 
our Ministry messaging, a little consistency goes a long way. The following pages outline 
OFFICIAL 
simple brand guidelines to help you create your internal communications. 
It’s not to hem you in, or make everything boring and dry
THE 
, but rather to create a 
framework that’s consistent, yet has the flexibility to allow you to produce material 
specific to your own team when making internal items.
