Vision — Strategic Objective — Our Why
TLC is a ‘not for profit’ Social Enterprise operating as a business networking hub, delivering a modern approach to
learning, mentoring and workshops for the enhancement of business growth and personal well-being.

businesses, who meet on a regular basis, share best practices, share knowledge and develop Trusting Lasting

development of other TLC groups within these areas.

Brand Guidelines
Visual Guidelines
The primary goal of the mtt brand is to appear clean, uncluttered and to maintain a visual ‘flow’.To ensure a consistent brand identity, a general collection guidelines is suggested:No elements of the logo may be recreated, deleted, cropped, or reconfigured. Minimum clearspaceto be maintained around the logo.
A white box around the logo is preferred when placed on a dark background and do not reproducethe logo in colors other than those specified in these guidelines.
Logo artwork MUST be uniformly scaled. Non-uniform scaling distorts the proportions of artworkand the relationship between the icons and letterforms. Logo ideally should always appear upright.Logo artwork may only be reproduced directly from a digital file. It should never be reproducedfrom previously printed materials.
Brand elements — The Logo

Brand elements — The Bullet point
The yellow rounded corner box is a feature that is used to highlight points of interest.
No set size but gerally just slightly bigger than the CAP height.
Bullet used for presentations. Align left always line text below text on next line.Aligned text here.
Brand elements — The End of Subject marker
A small swirl to act as a breaker in long texts.
Our branding is a little informal and flexible and is adaptable to suit the subject matter.But please to not abuse that flexblity...
