Central government visual identity and websites

Central government logo and visual identity

All government organisations that fall under direct ministerial responsibility use the central government logo and visual identity. This includes ministries and agencies. The army, air force, navy and Royal Military and Border Police do not use the central government visual identity. They have their own emblems and colour schemes.

The use of the central government logo and visual identity helps show that a piece of information comes from central government. They also emphasise central government's neutrality and continuity.

Only central government bodies may use the central government logo and visual identity.
