Freelance UnlockedBrand manual

Applications

A brand only matters once something gets made. Here everything comes together in real pieces, from a social post to a poster, and every one should look like the same hands made it.

Grid and spacing

Institutional formats use the same 8-point spacing. Margins grow with the format, and the logo keeps one corner of a template in every size, so pieces still line up as a set. Cards take a corner radius of 16–24 px. Buttons and tags are fully rounded. FUN can adapt the grid, spacing and treatments on Visual identity; the dimensions below are starting formats to confirm with production.

Layouts

A layout stays calm so the information is easy to find. The same choices, made the same way, keep a set of pieces reading as one. See Typography, Colour, Shapes and Logo.

A website hero led by its headline
The headline is the biggest thing on the piece.
The same quote post on Off White and on navy
Off White or navy, one per piece. A light blue field, now and then.
A navy post with one coral arch cropped by the edge
One shape, cropped by the edge, or none at all.
A guide cover with the logo top left, inside its clear space
Top left or bottom left, with its clear space. Never under or over a shape.

Social

Every post starts from a template, so it is recognisable before anyone reads it. One ground per post, Off White or navy, alternating across the feed. Quotes take a coral quote mark. Portraits use the frames from Photography.

Website

The website is the brand’s home. The homepage carries the institutional look. The FUN page starts from that structure and can adapt it to the year’s theme while keeping navigation familiar. How the theme works is on Visual identity.

Presentations

In a webinar or a partner deck, people are there for the content, not for us. The logo opens the deck and closes it, and steps aside in between. Off White is the default. Use navy for a title or section slide if the room is dark. The logo never sits over a photo, a chart or the speaker’s content. A speaker’s own deck only needs the symbol on the title slide. Stage slides at FUN follow their own guidance.

Print

Check colour, the file and the resolution before anything goes to the printer. These CMYK values are the start for coated stock. Uncoated papers print duller and warmer, so proof Coral, Sky and Navy on the chosen paper.
