Subject to approval, the logo may be used by two types of organisations:

  • Non-government organisations may be granted the use of the logo to signify that they receive Ministry support or sponsorship. In these situations, the words "supported by" or "sponsored by" should be used, or it must otherwise be clear that the organisation is not, itself, a Government agency.

    • there is an obvious and clear link in the text to the Ministry's work programme
    • use of logo will not put the Ministry at risk or raise any expectations or pose any questions
    • proposed text and/or artwork is made available for the Ministry to view as part of the approval process.

  • JPEG, TIF, EPS
  • full colour, spot colour and black

MYD's Visual Identity Guidelines are available as a PDF and will be included if you are approved to use our logo. These must be followed when the logo is used or you will be asked to remove our logo.
