Visual Identity Launched<br />
Last summer, a working group of interested staff, patient representatives from the <strong>Plymouth</strong> Local<br />
Improvement Network (LINk) and Governors worked with the Communications Team on creating a new<br />
visual identity (image and strapline) for the Trust. The strapline is built from our existing values, vision<br />
and patient promises and the aim was to create a visual that was clearly identifiable as <strong>Plymouth</strong> and<br />
healthcare.<br />
The Senior Management Team chose two of the four options put forward by the Working Group to put<br />
forward to a vote by all staff. We received 1,130 votes or comments from staff and key stakeholders<br />
and the below branding won by popular demand.<br />
Templates for Trust documents and user guidelines are now available on Healthnet,<br />
http://nww.picts.nhs.uk/PHNetLive/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=92.<br />
Please familiarise yourself with the guidelines before using the<br />
templates, it is essential that the visual is<br />
used consistently to retain the professional<br />
feel with which it has been put together.<br />
If you have any questions about the<br />
templates or how to use the imagery<br />
please contact the Press and<br />
