<strong>IBA</strong> Brand Manual<br />

<strong>IBA</strong> has earned an image and respect due <strong>to</strong> its hard work and cons<strong>is</strong>tency in providing quality education.<br />

It’s an establ<strong>is</strong>hed name for more than five decades now. To ensure that all publ<strong>is</strong>hed material produced<br />

by <strong>IBA</strong> presents a similar look and feel <strong>to</strong> the outside world, the Communications Department launched<br />

<strong>IBA</strong>’s first Brand Identity Manual in February 2012.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> comprehensive document, developed with the help of Argus Advert<strong>is</strong>ing, will help streamline all signage,<br />

presentations, v<strong>is</strong>itng cards, publications, logos, etc. in a standardized fashion.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> step was very important <strong>to</strong> ensure that no confusion occurs in our cus<strong>to</strong>mers’ minds regarding <strong>IBA</strong>’s<br />

brand. Th<strong>is</strong> manual <strong>is</strong> a guide that keeps the institute's v<strong>is</strong>ual identity intact. It includes details of colors<br />

palettes, best representing <strong>IBA</strong> and further guides on how <strong>to</strong> ensure that each piece of collateral looks<br />

standardized.<br />
