Business cards
The Alliance color business card is two-sided. The front is relevant contact information while the second side contains the mark and tag line. These are ordered through Creative Communications online and on an as-needed basis. Contact the Executive Administrative Assistant for more information.
Email signature
The Alliance email signature mirrors the front of the business card. It does not include graphics and is all black. The font is Calibri, a standard Microsoft Office font. This signature includes contact information and an acknowledgement of the land on which the Alliance is based.
Accessibility standards recommend a minimum size of 12 pt. when using standard web-based fonts.
For help setting up your signature, visit the Brand Resources page.
Powerpoint
The PowerPoint template has a logo opening slide, a title slide and multiple content slide options for a variety of presentations. You can find all the options under the “New Slide” button on the Home screen.
For text, Verdana is used to avoid any font substitutions problems when running on different machines.
The orientation is 16:9, which will fit all widescreen monitors.
For guidance on how to use the template, visit the Brand Resources page.
