The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Graphic Standards Manual outlines a consistent and coordinated use of the wordmark and visual elements. Co-branding coordinates a single product or service with more than one brand. Divisions and offices should align their areas visually with the Oregon Health Authority brand. By simply aligning the correct typeface and color you will visually be able to show the relationship among entities. Program or office logos must be presented in publications in conjunction with the OHA logo and not shown without the OHA logo unless there is an exemption in place. The OHA logo should always be first in order of appearance. Contact the Oregon Health Authority Publications and Design at [email protected] for questions or exemption information. The brand Introduction The Oregon Health Authority Graphic Standards Manual provides guidance for presenting the agency universally.

A wordmark is usually a distinct text- only typographic treatment such as the graphic identities of the government of Canada, FedEx, Google and Wikipedia. The organization name is incorporated as a simple graphic treatment to create a clear, visually memorable identity. The representation of the word becomes a visual symbol of the organization or product. In the United States and European Union, a wordmark may be registered, making it protected intellectual property. In the United States the term “wordmark” may not only refer to the graphic representation, but the text itself may be a type of trademark. What is a wordmark? Oregon Health Authority logo wordmark The Publications and Design Section designed the Oregon Health Authority logo wordmark in 2010. The logo wordmark should be on every project representing the agency and should always be reproduced accurately by following the standards set forth in this manual. The logo wordmark should always be legible, and it must be in an area of isolation that is clear of other elements, either typographic or graphic. The logo wordmark may not be manipulated or changed in any way. Do not attempt to recreate the logo wordmark, change the font, or alter the size, proportions or space
