Design Brief for Libraries Wales Logo Competition

Introduction

The Libraries Wales website has been created and designed as part of the Welsh Government’s support for libraries. It is a ‘one stop portal’ for libraries in Wales – you can get information about what’s happening in libraries, browse a wide range of online resources, locate your nearest library & join online, find out about initiatives supporting health, teens, children & families, join a reading group, use the enquiry service and more.

A logo was created for the website in 2015, which is now felt to be slightly ‘dated’, so we would like a new more modern logo to complement the recently redesigned libraries.wales website, and to coincide with the introduction of a new LMS (Library Management System) App, PORI, and it’s new logo.

The new logo should be vibrant and easily recognisable, reflecting the aim of the existing Universal Library Offers to connect communities, improve wellbeing and promote equality through learning, literacy and cultural activity.

  • Culture and Creativity
  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Information and Digital
  • Reading

Goals and objectives of the new design

We would like to change the current ‘Welsh Libraries’ logo wording to ‘Libraries Wales’. The Welsh wording ‘Llyfrgelloedd Cymru’ will remain the same.

We have recently changed the handles on the English-language Twitter and Facebook sites to reflect a more unified brand name in ‘Libraries Wales.’ We still require the wording ‘Get More From Your Library’ (English) / ‘Cael Mwy o’ch Llyfrgell’ (Welsh) as appears with versions of the original logo.

The new logo will need to complement & enhance the current website:

https://libraries.wales (English)       

https://llyfrgelloedd.cymru (Welsh)

The new logo will also appear on the following social media sites:

  • Facebook @librarieswales @llyfrgelloeddcymru
  • Twitter @LibrariesWales & @LlyfrgellCymru
  • Instagram @librarieswales

& will also appear on promotional posters e.g. Author of the Month, Teen Blog etc.

The current versions of the logo can be viewed on the Staff Toolkit section of the website, where the new logos will also become available.

Target audience

Our target audience includes anyone wishing to find out more about library services across Wales, including the Digital Resources and new features such as ‘Author of the Month’ and ‘Teen Blog’. Users will also visit the website to find out about initiatives that promote engagement with libraries, literacy and reading in Wales.
