Brand Guide
Logos
The Calgary Economic Development logo includes the Calgary wordmark, Be Part of the Energy tagline and Economic Development sub-brand. Our tagline has been trademarked and the trademark symbol must always appear with the tagline. Under no circumstance should any component of the wordmark be redrawn, modified or altered in any way. Reproduction of the wordmark must be executed using the approved electronic files.
CALGARY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOGO
All collateral and digital assets belonging to Calgary Economic Development should have Calgary Economic Development’s logo present. Some examples include, annual reports, website properties, and social media channels. Prior to design it’s important to work with the client in determining the collateral’s purpose and primary audience. This information will help you determine whether the final product should feature Calgary Economic Development’s logo or Calgary only logo.

CALGARY ONLY LOGO
The Calgary only logo should be used on all collateral and assets that market Calgary abroad. This can include PowerPoint presentations, sector-based flat sheets, and out-of-market campaigns. While the audience is similar to Calgary Economic Development’s they don’t need to know Calgary Economic Development, and therefore the logo does not need the Economic Development sub-brand.

COLOUR VARIATIONS
The full colour version and knockout colour version of both logos can be used. However, the full colour version is the preferred logo of choice and should be used whenever possible. The knockout colour version should only be used when the logo is presented on a dark coloured background, specifically in Calgary’s red colour. In cases where only one colour printing is the only option available, proceed with using the knockout version of the logo on a black box background.
LOGO LAYOUT WITH OTHER PARTNERS
In cases where Calgary Economic Development is working in collaboration with a partner, both logos should appear equal in size and appear side by side with the appropriate clear space available between both logos. It is advised that both logos are presented in full colour. However, if the design doesn’t allow for it, knockout version on a red background is best. Note: Exceptions apply especially in cases when other partners’ brand standards vary greatly from Calgary Economic Development’s. (E.g. when partners colours conflict with Calgary Economic Development's red. In this case, use black instead).
Brand Colours
When it comes to our brand, the colours we use are as important as the words and visuals we choose. Use the primary colour palette for floods of colour and major graphics. The secondary colour palette can be used for variation, or in combination with the primary colour. These colours should be used sparingly and not dominate the design. Further expansion of Calgary Economic Development’s colour palette. These colours should be used when no other colour options are available.
