colorS
The following colors have been chosen for Workforce Solutions’ corporate identity. Stationery pieces will always use uNCoaTED colors. Brochures may use CoaTED or uNCoaTED, depending on the printing specifications. Refer to CMYK and RgB formulas for materials produced in those color modes.
The Workforce Solutions logo has been created in multiple file formats for various applications that it may be used in. The following descriptions explain when to use which file format:
.jpgFor screen applications, like web or PowerPoint, use a JPG file. JPG files are usually created at a screen resolu-tion of 72 dpi for these purposes and can be reduced in size, but never enlarged. Enlarging a jpeg will result in pixelization of the image, making it unusable. Some print applications, like Microsoft Word, use the jpg file type for images. Follow the same rule for enlarging and reducing the image, especially if it is to be printed.
.epsFor most applications, an EPS file is preferable. EPS files may be enlarged and reduced in Adobe Illustrator with-out pixelization. Use EPS files or print materials.
loGo FIle tyPeS
note
When four-color process is being used, the CMYK values will approximate the Pantone color . When printed, this color may vary somewhat due to paper stock or printing techniques .
When the color is intended only to be viewed on a screen, monitor or television, the RGB values should be used . Web color code are availabe upon request .
