The EA Logo Sets

Acceptable use of logo
There may be instances when the EA logo is required to be used on irregular backgrounds such as a photograph or pattern. It should be possible to use a version of either the white or black logo in these instances, however there may be rare occasions where the background does not provide sufficient contrast. On these occasions, it may be necessary to use a suitable plain background in order to provide sufficient contrast.
Scale and Proportion
There are no predetermined sizes for the EA logo as it will be used across a large variety of formats. Scale and proportion should be determined by the space available. When placing the EA logo into your workspace, hold down the shift key on your keyboard when resizing the logo to maintain its correct proportions.
Exclusion Zones
Where possible, the EA logo should always be surrounded by a minimum area of space. This exclusion zone ensures that headlines, text or other visual elements do not encroach on the logo. The area is defined by using the width of the ‘e’ of ‘ea’ at the widest points in the logo. This width will create an invisible boundary. This area of separation is a minimum and should be increased wherever possible.
By using the width of the ‘e’ as a guide as opposed to a unit measurement, this will ensure a safe zone of correct proportion to the logo is created. This principle should be applied across all versions of the EA logo in whatever medium it is being applied to.
Version 1 ‐ Horizontal
Using the width of the ‘e’ to create a safe zone
Version 2 – Vertical stack
Using the width of the ‘e’ to create a safe zone
Official Branding Colour Codes
The colour breakdowns for print and digital use are illustrated below. No other colour combinations are permitted within the logo. The order in which the colours appear must not be changed. The blue shape must appear on the extreme left, followed by the yellow, followed by the green. The EA letters must remain at 100% black. The words Education Authority must be the same blue as the left shape.
Use on Digital Media & Published Content
The EA logo can be positioned either top left or top right on digital media. Its position should be dictated by whichever is most fit for purpose and whichever is most aesthetically pleasing for the product.
