Layouts for State Government Badge Design with Department Names
The designated layout is Option A or Option B (as used on all Stationery) below
Option A

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