Success Stories of Brand Adoption

Here are a few of the success stories of some of the National Scout Organizations (NSOs) who have already adopted the World Scouting Brand Logo and adapted it to their country.

South Africa Scout Association has been one of the first National Scout Organisations to adopt the new Brand at National level, and a lot of work has been done in collaboration with this association in preserving the national identity of South Africa in using the new Brand Logo. In particular, the rope element of the brand design is a lively multicolor design, using some of the hues found on the South African National Flag.

You can find below some examples of the publications and stationery which have been produced with the new South Africa Brand Logo.

These guidelines have been developed to help you to design your International and Official Scout Event Logo in a few steps.

PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG and EPS – what are they and which one should I use?

Pantone, CMYK, and RGB – why are there three colour models and which one should I use?
Your choice of colour model should be determined by what you intend to use the artwork element for.
