Frequently Asked Questions 44

FAQs Can I change the size of the logos? a. You may change the size of the logo, provided that: such changes do not conflict with the usage guidelines for the FACTOR logo or the Canada wordmark (see Use of Logos, pg.36); both appear at least as large, or larger, than the logo of any other funder; and the logo, wordmark and required acknowledgment text appear clearly and legibly. Can I change the colour of the logos? a. FACTOR will allow you to alter the colour of the FACTOR logo if the original colours conflict with any graphic design elements on finished materials. However, you may not modify the Canada wordmark, or cause it to appear in a colour scheme that is not explicitly allowed by the Treasury Board of Canada. For more details, please see the Treasury Board of Canada s Canada Wordmark - Technical Specifications (2012) How do I know who to credit? a. You must credit FACTOR, the Government of Canada, and Canada s private radio broadcasters on all materials funded through the following programs: Support for Eligible Music Companies, Collective Initiatives, Comprehensive Music Company, Artist Development, Juried Sound Recording, Live Performance, Marketing & Promotion for FACTOR-funded Sound Recordings, and Video. (See pg. 6 for more info.)

(See pg. 7 for more info.) 45

FAQs Where does the logo go? a. This will depend on the type of material on which the logo appears. see the Examples pg. 39 above. Why is the logo and acknowledgment text in French and English if my project is only in English? a. The Government of Canada requires that the acknowledgment text appear in both of Canada s official languages, regardless of the content of the funded material. What happens if I forget a logo? a. Get in touch with your Project Coordinator ASAP. They can help advise you of cost-effective solutions to rectify the missing or incorrect logo. Inappropriate or incorrect use of the logos or acknowledgment text will put you in breach of your General Agreement, which is considered an Event of Default with FACTOR. This may result in a reduction or withdrawal of your final offer. Please be are aware of your obligations, and contact your Project Coordinator with any questions. Which logo version should I use the versions with or without the text attached to it? a. Use the combined FACTOR logo with acknowledgment text and the combined Canada wordmark with acknowledgment text wherever possible. These are the preferred versions. The standalone logos should only be used if there is not enough space for you to present the combined logos (with text) legibly. If you use the standalone logos, you must make sure that the required acknowledgment text is also present on all funded materials, as explained in this guide. Your Project Coordinator can assist you if you have questions about these requirements. 46
