Logos

Overview

The BAS Style Kit includes various logos used to identify projects as being part of the British Antarctic Survey or users of various schemes and initiatives.

Logos are protected works, they MUST be used according to the terms of their respective owners.

The BAS logo forms a core part of the BAS Brand, and its consistent use is important. It is made up of two components:

  1. the BAS roundel
  2. the BAS logo text (using the BAS brand font)

These may be used in one of two forms:

  1. the BAS roundel only
  2. the BAS roundel and logo text (the full logo)

The BAS logo can be used with components such as:

The BAS logo is a trademark of the Natural Environment Research Council and may not be used without a licence

BAS has a licence to use its logo for its official websites and applications. This licence does not cover non-BAS projects, including personal projects of BAS Staff.

  • The logo text MUST NOT be used on its own
  • The colour of the roundel and logo text MUST NOT be changed
  • The font used for the logo text MUST NOT be changed (i.e. from the BAS brand font)
  • The text of the logo text MUST NOT be changed (i.e. abbreviated or reformatted)
  • For the full logo, the relationship between the roundel and logo text MUST NOT be changed.

Contact the BAS Communications Team if you have any questions around the use of the BAS logo.

Each form of the BAS logo is available in three variants for use in different circumstances:

Variant Purpose
Default Used by default for light backgrounds
Monochrome Used for light backgrounds where colour is unavailable (i.e. a black and white printer)
Inverse Monochrome Used for darker backgrounds where there would be insufficient contrast using the default or monochrome variants

Use the default variant if you are unsure which to use.
