1. General Information
1.1  How to use these Brand Guidelines
Any individual that needs to apply any aspect of the NOPSEMA visual branding should become familiar 
with the relevant contents of this document. Artwork files can be obtained from the NOPSEMA 
Communications and External Affairs (CEA) team. 
This document is to be also used by third parties wishing to use NOPSEMA branding.
All queries should be directed to the CEA team.
1.2  Electronic file usage
Correctly determining file format usage
The NOPSEMA logo files are provided in CMYK, PMS and RGB versions in .PNG, .EPS, .TIFF and .JPG 
formats to cater for all eventualities, uses and media. Please ensure the correct logo format is selected 
for each application.

1. General Information
Correctly determining the colour reference system
The NOPSEMA logo files are provided in CMYK, PMS and RGB versions in .PNG, .EPS, .TIFF and .JPG 
formats to cater for all eventualities, uses and media. Please ensure the correct logo format is selected for 
each application.
Colour Reference Name
Colour Properties
(Pantone Matching System)
PMS is a set of standard colours for offset printing, each of which 
PMS 
is specified by a single number. Whilst these are in essence specific 
colour inks, computer graphics software allows colours to be 
specified as Pantone numbers that are then reproduced in CMYK 
(four colour process) colours by a digital or offset printing press. 
(Cyan Magenta Yellow Key)
CMYK describes the ubiquitous full colour printing process and 
CMYK
refers specifically to the four inks used in offset and digital colour 
printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). The “K” in CMYK 
stands for key since in four colour printing cyan, magenta, and 
yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of 
the black key plate. 
The four colours are printed together as very small dots of varying 
sizes to create an almost infinite range of hues eg; an aqua blue 
ocean in a photo will carry large cyan dots, medium yellow and 
small magenta and black dots. The brain is unable to discern the 
individual dots via the optic nerve perceives the area as aqua blue.
(Red Green Blue)
RGB is a process in which red, green, and blue light is added 
RGB
together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colours. 
Its main purpose is the representation and display of images in 
electronic systems, such as televisions and computers. RGB is 
a device-dependent colour model: different devices detect or 
reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the colour elements 
(such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual R, 
G, and B levels vary from device to device.
1.3  File naming
The file naming system is outlined to help ensure that you find the correct version for any given application.
