3. Background
This manual has been put together to demonstrate how the
Nabo logo, in conjunction with its graphic elements, should
be used for designing items for communication.
Please ensure that you provide these guidelines to your
designers and developers to ensure that every item of
communication is consistent and credible.
Visual identity is made up of a number of ingredients: logos,
colours, typefaces, use of imagery, layouts and language.
It is the consistent combination of these ingredients, that will
help make the Nabo ‘brand’ memorable.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please
contact please contact kathryn@nabo.com.au or
cara@nabo.com.au

5. Use of our logo
Spacing
In order to allow our logo to be displayed clearly, it is
important that there is a minimum clearance from other
graphics and logos. We call this the ‘b height’.
Page 5 - Nabo brand Guidelines October 2014

6. Use of our logo
Which logo to use where
In order to allow our logo to be displayed clearly, we need to make sure that our brand is
legible. Here we demonstrate the different types of acceptable use of the logo.
How well do you know
the people who share
your neighbourhood?
These days, most of us
don’t talk to our neighbours
or even know their names.
Together we’re building
stronger communities
and safer suburbs
Look out for your neighbours
Set up an online neighbourhood watch,
keep an eye out for suspicious activity
and talk with your neighbours about
what’s happening in your street.
Local Councils join the online
neighbourhood
Nabo helps local Councils connect with
the suburbs they serve and helps you
discuss council initiatives, local matters
and find out about upcoming events.
Urgent Alerts sent to you
Receive email and SMS Urgent Alerts
from the Police, SES and local Council in
times of emergency.
The beginning of the
journey
Nabo is being rolled out in a small
number of Australian suburbs and we
will be adding new functionality rapidly
as we get ready to welcome the rest of
Australia.
If you live in one of these suburbs you
will be able to join Nabo and invite your
neighbours to join via email or by
printing and delivering an invitation
from home.
In suburbs where Nabo hasn’t yet been
made available, you can register your
interest and we will email you once
we’re live!
Coming soon
New features will be going live every
week. Please look out for ‘Groups’,
‘Event Calendars’ and other exciting
ways to communicate with your
neighbours.

the tagline text to be legible

10. Graphic elements
Using the ‘House’ and ‘Speech bubble’ elements help us
to establish a visual relationship between our logo and
content. It’s about having a conversation or talking.
The most effective way to use the elements is to think
of the speech bubble as a way to talk about our
services in a friendly way, much like neighbours
over the fence.
Statements about the benefits of joining Nabo appear
in the element, underneath the speech bubble,
appears a ‘benefit’ or action to support the statement.

Co-branding collateral
Positioning of logos
Key partners e.g. Westpac
Nabo logo should be placed on the right hand side of the
page. The key partner logo should be placed on the left hand
side of the page. Whether the logo is placed at the top of the
page or the bottom depends on the collateral being produced.
Please discuss co-bradning with us before comissioning
design work.
Partner logos should appear
proportionally at 80% height
or width of the Nabo logo.

Powerpoint Presentations
For consistency, it’s important that we use our brand across all media, when presenting our
brand. A copy of this presentation template is available.

19. Page 19 - Nabo brand Guidelines October 2014
Photography
here is a checklist when searching for OR comissioning
photography for any Nabo collateral.
• Search for local images that communicate warmth and
genuine friendliness.
• Avoid images that don’t look Australian
• No more than 1-3 people in each image
• Seek images that show people having conversations to
invoke a sense of community.
• Don’t be afraid to choose people from a broad
demographic social and ethnic group that accurately
represent the suburbs you are targeting

Page 20 - Nabo brand Guidelines October 2014
Merchandise
Merchandising can be a
valuable means of connect-
ing with customers, raising
awareness of the Nabo brand
and boosting sign-ups.
The Nabo logo should appear in white
if green is used as a background
colour.
ON a white background, the coloured
Nabo logo should be used
If the URL is not mentioned
separately on the merchandise, the
Nabo logo with .com.au underneath
should be used.

Pull-up banners
A pull up banner is a portable display system that we use for
public events and displays to draw attention to our brand.
Pull up banners come with adjustable height poles and a
base that holds the banner.
