SIZE
EXCLUSION ZONE
& PLACEMENT
The logo should always be clearly
legible. For this reason a minimum
size has been established.
The logo must be produced with a clear
area around it which is free from other
graphic elements. This area is known as
the ‘exclusion zone’ and maximises the
visual presence of the logo.

For smaller
digital usage (e.g. 50x50 pixel

use the Crane
design element
only. See page
8 for further
information.
This is the logo for the United
Kingdom Contingent.
There is no maximum size for usage
or reproduction.
The design includes the symbol of an origami peace crane
and the Japanese Katakana text for ‘United Kingdom’.
File formats available:
The logo consists of an image and text. It should always
be used on a white background in the configuration of
image, text and colour shown above.

MONOCHROME USAGE
PARTNERSHIP USAGE
USE OF THE
DESIGN ELEMENTS
When it is not possible to use the
logo on a white background, or
when limited colours are available
for printing, you can use the logo
in monochrome.
When using the United Kingdom
Contingent logo in partnership with
additional logos (one or more), ensure
the exclusion zone is respected.
The United Kingdom Contingent peace
crane can be used on its own without
the accompanying text.

The monochrome logo version can be produced in
black or white.
The World Scout Jamboree main
brand has specific guidelines. The
diagram below shows the World Scout
Jamboree logo and United Kingdom
Contingent logo side-by-side at the
minimum print size:
This could be particuarly helpful for smaller digital
usage requirements (such as social media icons) and for
merchandising. The wing should be coloured in white
if used on a different coloured background.

FURTHER DESIGN ELEMENT:
FLOCK OF CRANES
The peace crane design element can
also be used in a repeat flock pattern.
Cranes should always be flying in an easterly direction, from
left to right. This is the direction in which the United Kingdom
Contingent will travel towards the Japan 2015 Jamboree.
The repeated crane should always be used in a solid colour.
Do not repeat the Union flag peace crane from the logo.
The repeat flock pattern has been
designed so that it can be used alone
or repeated as shown here:
The pattern can also be coloured using
any colour combination from the UK
contingent palette.
A maximum of 3 colours should be used at any one time.
This will ensure the pattern does not become too complicated.

UNIT LOGO DESIGN GUIDE
Each of the 63 Units in the UK Contingent
can create their own logo to be used on
local merchandise. Designing the Unit
logo can be a fun way activity to help
start the bonding of a Unit.
It is up to each Unit to come up with their
own design, but it is hoped that every Unit
logo will use a single coloured peace crane
in some way. Please avoid using the crane
with a union flag wing as this is for the
main UK Contingent items.
Hints and tips
• Think about how you wish to use your logo before
designing it. Simple logos are clearer on digital platforms
and for small usage. Complicated logos can be expensive
to recreate on merchandise.
• Using a maximum of four colours and two typefaces will
ensure your logo design is bold.
• When selecting a typeface, remember that English will
not be everyone’s first language at the Jamboree. The UK
contingent typefaces are very accessible and easy to read.
Some example designs are shown here:
Example 1 includes the peace crane
within it’s design and also uses three
colours (all from the United Kingdom
Contingent palette).
SURREY

JAMBOREE JAPAN 2015
Example 2 fits within the silhouette
of the peace crane design element
and uses two colours (from the United
Kingdom Contingent palette).

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
Imagery should wherever possible
promote The Scout Associations
brand values - everyday adventure,
fun, friendship and challenge, and
the United Kingdom Contingent
values - inspire, excite, involve
and support.
Photography and video are important in our
communications. Imagery should be active and fun.
We want to show the diverse and adventurous aspects
of Scouting. It is important that the visuals complement
our typography across all materials.
Try to avoid the use of staged presentation shots (‘grip
and grin’), static group shots, shots of people’s backs or
excessive use of uniform shots.
Always seek the permission of the participants you
are photographing.
Credit the photographer or film maker’s copyright ©
wherever possible.
Case Study
Asking a straight-forward question to different participants
helped to tie the narrative of different footage together at
a recent Wintercamp 2013 video. This example from can
