All use of the EAT brand must be approved by the design team before publishing. Please contact hannah@eatforum.org if you have any questions.
The logotype is our most important identity asset. It is our signature and distinguishes us from others. It’s our primary identification marker and the very manifestation of our brand.

Placement
To ensure consistency and brand alignment a set of logotype placements have been set. Below you can find the rules for placing the logotype in different scenarios.
The primary positions of our logo are within margins along the edges of a format. The margins around the logotype should always be equal, and leave at least half a logo as margin around our logo.
When full bleed printing is available, it is also possible to place the logo along the edge of the format. Align the vertical part of the T to the edge of the format.
Sizing
A minimum size for the logotype is important to maintain legiblility across all applications. It must never be sized smaller than the dimensions specified below.
For digital use
Minimum size; 47.5px wide by 45 px high.
For printed use
Minimum size; 10.5mm wide by 10mm high.

Combinations
A simple set of guidelines helps to ensure a harmonious visual balance when the logotype is combined with logos from other organizations.
Where possible, all logos should be the same height as the EAT logotype.
When using logos that are portrait in orientation, they can be taller in height to provide a visual balance with the EAT logotype.
When using logos that are landscape in orientation, they can be shorter in height to provide a visual balance alongside the EAT logotype.
Applied examples
The goal is to maintain a visual balance, where all logotypes are perceived to be the same level of importance. When working with logos that use small text, lighter colors, or considerable white space, the sizing dimensions outlined above may be limiting to achieving this. In these cases you should always check with the design team before final approval of any artwork.
Typography is a big part of our identity. When used correctly it helps to create a consistent and coherent look and feel. Our typeface is almost always present in everything that we do and is, therefore, an extremely important ingredient in our brand.
Graphik
Graphik is meant to be used in large headlines, introductions as well as body copy text in online applications.
Chronicle Display
Chronicle Display is an elegant display typeface designed for use at large sizes such as headings or short amounts of text.
Chronicle Text
Chronicle Text is designed to be used as a text typeface and its intended use is for body copy and large amounts of text.
Typeface combinations
Typographical combinations are a powerful tool to build hierarchies. Used correctly they will help strengthen our words and communication as well as establish a distinct visual recognition of our brand.
Chronicle Display bold is used for large headlines, intro copy uses Graphik regular, and Chronicle Text roman is used for body copy.
For detail copy or small amounts of text, Graphik regular may be used. For sub heading level 1, use Graphik medium, for sub heading level 2, use Graphik regular. Body copy is set in Chronicle Text roman.
Quotes are set in Chronicle Display bold, with names in Graphik medium and title in Graphik regular.
Applied examples
Fallback fonts
In times when the EAT fonts are unavailable, fallback fonts can be used as a second choice. Use Arial in place for Graphik, and Georgia in place for Chronicle Text and Chronicle Display.
Arial
Arial is meant to be used when Graphik is unavailable. Arial can be used in large headlines, introductions as well as body copy text in online applications.
Georgia
Georgia is meant to be used when Chronicle Display or Chronicle Text in unavailable. Use Chronicle for headings, short amounts of text and body copy text.
Color is an immediate tool to signal our brand. It is a universal identifier that cuts across language barriers.
Although we use several colors, EAT Primary Orange is the most important one. It is a color strongly associated with our brand and is therefore almost always represented in some way across all of our materials. EAT Ocean Blue is our secondary brand color, and may serve as a backdrop to our primary color. EAT Light Ocean Blue, EAT Neutral Gray and EAT Neutral Black can be used as addition to the primary and secondary color.
Color and text
The color of the typography depends on the background color it’s placed on. The most important function of text is to be readable. Always make sure that the text color contrasts strongly against its background.
Applied examples
A fifth element is a visual device used to signal and enhance a brand.
The hexagon
Our fifth element is an expansion of our logo elements, the hexagon. It is a building block that lies at the base of our visual system. It connects our visual solutions creating a unified, dynamic and coherent brand expression.
Styles
There are three versions of the hexagon. By having a selection of different, but coherent, styles we enable a more dynamic expression and have the ability to choose a style fit for the purpose of the communication. The fifth element is either cropped or used full bleed when placed in a layout.
Outline
The hexagon shape can be used as an outlined, sophisticated design element in a composition. You may combine multiple shapes to create this element.
The shape needs to be big to have impact. Avoid using the fifth element in a small way.
Solid
You may also use the shape of the hexagon as a filled element. This can be useful to divide a composition, and as a holder of short amounts of text. The fifth element should be cropped along at least two sides.
Photo
The hexagon shape may be used to hold photos. This can be used if there are only a few photos in the same composition. Do not use the element as a small decoration.
Applied examples
Images are key in helping elevate the brand. They can communicate complex subjects and issues through relevant and appropriate imagery. Our style is always vibrant and authentic.
Copyright
Always make sure that you have permission, together with the correct copyright, before you use or share an image. How to show a copyright varies depending on where, and from who the image was acquired. Not all images have the same copyrights, and may not be permitted to be shared outside of EAT. Please contact the Communications Team if you are unsure on an image and it's rights.

Event images
We have a lot of great images from our different events that are available on the EAT OneDrive. Always make sure to credit the photographer when using these.

Food images
We use a lot of stock images of food, which we often buy from a stock photography website. Always make sure to credit the photographer and the website.

In some situations, for example in moving image or events, unique and conceptual interpretations of our fifth element can be developed to emphasise and strengthen the context and theme.
