Subject: Official Information request - Addition of the Crown to the Fire
and Emergency Crest

 

Dear Fire and Emergency New Zealand,

 

I would like to request all communications and guidelines about the
addition and use of the crown with the Fire and Emergency crest.

 

I would also like to know how much the addition of the crown has cost and
any plans to implement it across the organisation (ie. updating current
signage, uniforms, vehicles etc).

 

I am making this request after seeing the crown added to the Fire and
Emergency crest on an appliance.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Thomas A.

Kia ora Thomas,

 

Thanks for letting us know. Our fleet team inspected the appliance with
the crown added to its crest, and it is different from the crown on the
Formal Royal Badge.

 

It had not been approved for use and has been removed.

Subject: Re: OIA 11430 Addition of crown to crest

 

Dear Official Information Requests,

 

I've just come across this photo that shows the crown above the crest on
the older-style aerial appliance I saw in Auckland.
[5]http://www.111emergency.co.nz/FIRE/Appli...

 

I've also had a look at the Visual Identity Guidelines you mentioned which
have been released on the FYI website, and the Formal Royal Badge seems
more detailed than the crest seen on the truck - therefore one would
presume it is a different crest from those in the VIG.

 

You also mentioned the Formal Royal Crest isn't approved for use anywhere.
Was the crown above the crest on this fire truck not approved?

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Thomas A.

Kia ora Thomas

As advised, the addition of the crown was not approved. We do not know who added it, when they added it or why. Staf will be reminded that unauthorised variation of the brand (including the crest) is not permitted.
