Our Brand - The New Zealand Fern Mark

These Brand Guidelines are a tool for ensuring that our brand is consistently reproduced. They are designed for use by staff, partners, agencies, suppliers and other brand users who use, apply or reference The New Zealand Fern Mark brand.

These are the official brand standards for The New Zealand Fern Mark brand.

The New Zealand Fern Mark

Brand New Zealand has a unique and identifiable mark. It identifies New Zealand to the world.

The silver fern is well recognised and understood in New Zealand as the symbol that represents the country. Over time, recognition through consistent use of the New Zealand Fern Mark, as well as our core brand colours (black, white and silver) will become understood and recognised at a global level.

The Brand New Zealand visual identity has been professionally designed. It consists of two elements, the New Zealand silver fern and the 'New Zealand' logotype.

Brand Formats

The visual identity has been designed to be effective across a range of applications. These specifications outline the rules for its application and adherence to them will ensure the identity is rendered correctly and consistently.

There are three formats available:

Stacked logo format

Horizontal logo format

Fern only logo format

* For limited use in situations where use of the full New Zealand Fern Mark is not possible i.e. lapel pins. It can be used as a graphic element where there is another full New Zealand Fern Mark in the same field of vision.

The correct format for print and online applications will be determined by design, space and size.

The logotype and silver fern have been specifically drawn and should not be altered in any way. The fern may only be used without the TM symbol when the reproduction would become illegible (e.g. embroidery).

Colour

The primary Brand New Zealand colours are black and white. The secondary colour is silver. Brand New Zealand in most cases should be reproduced in either black or white. The preferred colour is the use of the white signature on black. This allows for maximum impact.

Clear Space Requirements

The amount of clear space around the elements has been set. No text, graphic or material that compromises the clarity of the logo may appear in this area. This space remains proportional when enlarging and reducing. The area is determined by the height of the New Zealand "N". It is always preferable to allow more generous clear space around the elements.

Clearspace example

Minimum Size

To ensure clarity and legibility, there is a minimum size that the Brand New Zealand elements can be reproduced. The minimum size for the New Zealand Logotype is 15mm and the minimum size for the Fern Mark is 7mm. The area is determined by the height of the New Zealand "N". It is always preferable to allow more generous clear space around the elements.
