What is the ARMA International Brand Kit?

The ARMA International Brand Kit is a comprehensive collection of our brand assets and guidelines. It includes our logos, color palette, typography, imagery, and instructions on how to use these elements correctly. The purpose of the Brand Kit is to ensure consistency and coherence across all ARMA International communications, promoting a strong and unified brand identity.

When is it suitable to use the new ARMA International logo?

The new ARMA International logo should be used in all official communications, marketing materials, digital platforms, and merchandise. It's designed to represent our brand across various mediums effectively. The ARMA International logo may be incorporated into the design of an affiliate logo, but under no circumstance may that incorporation result in any design change of the ARMA International logo. Use of the old logo should be phased out effective immediately.
