This information is for organisations sponsored or commissioned by SIRA to do research or training. It provides information about how to use our logo and request Microsoft Word templates for reporting information.
Who is permitted to use our logo?
If SIRA has formally engaged you to undertake work or sponsorship (under an agreement or written confirmation), then you may have permission to use our logo. In all cases, you must request approval to use our logo in documents or on your website. The permission to use SIRA’s branding is only granted for the length of the agreement or engagement.
How to use our logo
If you are working with SIRA, it is essential that the SIRA logo is displayed correctly. Please use the guidance below and contact the Communications team for the latest versions of our logo.
Logo type
When the SIRA logo is used alongside the logo of other organisations, the ‘coupled’ SIRA logo should always be used (please see correct use example below).
Size relationship
The SIRA coupled logo and the logo of organisations we are sponsoring or endorsing must appear visually balanced and a similar size.
Position relationship
When collateral or communication is managed by sponsor
If you are managing the communication and collateral, your logo should always appear first. The SIRA logo then appears in the lower section of the communication, indicating a supporting role. Ideally, the two logos should be positioned separately.
When SIRA is the primary sponsor
SIRA’s logo must appear first in the line of logos (if there are multiple sponsors).
When SIRA is an equal sponsor
In some instances, when there are multiple organisations involved, there may be a need to line up logos side by side. This is permitted, but the size relationship should appear visually balanced. One should not dominate the other and logos should appear in alphabetical order.
Documentation requirements
Commissioned work owned by SIRA
When reporting on findings from SIRA commissioned work, owned by SIRA, organisations should use the SIRA branded cover templates in teal. Please contact your research project lead for the most appropriate template for your project. We also have standard images available if required.
We request that you ensure the content follows the Australian Government Style Manual and accessibility requirements.
Commissioned work owned by provider
If your research or commissioned work is owned by your organisation, then you should use your own templates and acknowledge SIRA.
