Brand colours

The blue, silver and black colours set our here are integral parts of the QMU identity and should be used wherever possible. Colours for coated and uncoated paper have been specifically selected for accurate reproduction.

Optimum reproduction is achieved using the three spot colour version of the logotype - this should be used wherever possible. Process, single colour and line versions have also been drawn to suit all printing requirements when spot colours are unavailable or impractical.
