RAN Branding Guidelines For Using Navy Emblems
Dear Department of Defence FOI,
After looking over the Australian Defence Force website, I noticed the Australian Army has a PDF document titled Guidelines for using Army emblems via this link (https://www.army.gov.au/about-us/who-we-...).
Going to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) website, it appears the RAN doesn't have something similar?
As per the Freedom Of Information (FOI) Act, I am requesting the RAN version of the Guidelines for using RAN (Navy) emblems document as a PDF to be released, please.
I believe the Navy should have a version of this for their emblems as per the ADF One Defence Policy or also known as the First Principles Review, and the ADF Brand Manager should have a copy as this would be supplied by each ADF Services who have brand managers who report to the ADF Brand Manager.
I look forward to hearing from Defence FOI shortly,
Kind Regards,
Daphne
