Applying the State Government Badge

Layouts for State Government Badge Design with Department Names

The designated layout is Option A, Option B or Option C (as used on all Stationery) below

​Option A	​
​Option B (Three lines)	​
Option C (To be used by those Departments with longer Department name)	​

The correct positioning of the text in relation to the State Coat of Arms is for the top of the first line of text to align with the top of the head of the kangaroos.

However, the options below are acceptable for other applications such as press advertisements or signage

​Option D	​
​Option E	​
​Option F	​

If space doesn’t allow for the department name to be placed to the right hand side, placement underneath with a rule is acceptable
