Aliquam sagittis quam ac velit porta, ut blandit lectus scelerisque. 3 3 When issuing a document we need to have under consideration the capability of the program to embedd the font into the final document. For example if we export as a PDF, the font will be embedded. On the contrary, if we don t have the possibility to embed the font like in a Microsoft Word document we should use Arial Narrow instead of Trade Gothic. We will use Arial Narrow Bold in UPPERCASE for our headlines. Arial Narrow Regular in UPPERCASE for our Subheadlines and for the Paragraphs we will use Arial Narrow Regular and Arial Narrow Bold in a smaller size. 7
GRAPHIC ELEMENTS 1 BANNER For our documents and presentations we will use a banner with AGORA s logo and the map. This will allow us to not only establish recognition on our branding layout but also to communicate what AGORA is about: cities. For this banner/bar, the rules of security area that we established on page 4 will be equally aplicable meaning that we would have to respect the clear area from top or down of the bar for placing other elements like texts, page numbers, etc. Also, we cannot place other logos on our bar so we will need to include them on the upper part or the document. The primary and standard use of the banner will be placed in the bottom of the page, however exceptionally and when there is no other possibility, we may use the banner on the top of our document. 4 8
GRAPHIC ELEMENTS 2 PICTOS When creating our documents or presentations, we can make use of our library of Pictos for illustrational and informational purposes. The only limitations would be: 1. They need to have the AGORA colors (Either our BORDEAUX or our DARK BEIGE.
