Using the WA Government logo

A guide for grant and funding recipients on using the WA Government logo.

Grant and funding recipients are required to recognise the contribution of the WA Government, including on print and promotional materials and signage.

The following guidelines apply to the use of the WA Government logo.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Marketing and Communications Acknowledgement Guidelines.

WA Government logo

WA Government logo

If you are required to recognise the funding provider, please use the WA Government logo.

If your funding is for sporting infrastructure (for example, lighting, new building, clubroom or changeroom upgrades, new courts, new hoops) and has been completed post 1 July 2025 then the PlayOn WA logo needs to be used. If you are required to use this logo it will be outlined in your funding agreement.

If you are required to recognise funding from more than one WA Government department, the WA Government logo is to be used in most circumstances.

Combined logos are used to acknowledge funding from the WA Government and Lotterywest.

Using the logo

File formats

There are 3 file formats available:

  • EPS is suitable for signage and high quality printed materials.
  • PNG is suitable for digital and online material such as websites and has a transparent background.
  • JPG is suitable for digital materials and has a white background.

Colours

Do not change the colours used in the logo. They are part of the Government Common Badging and cannot be changed.

Minimum size

When using the logo, the State Coat of Arms part of the logo must be no smaller than 15mm in height.

Exclusion zone

The distance around the logo must be no smaller than the width of the State Coat of Arms. If you are using another logo on your promotional material, do not put it too close to the WA Government logo.

Logo placement

The WA Government logo should be placed appropriately in relation to your own logo or identity. If other organisations are also supporting your organisation, please make sure that the logos aren’t crowded too closely together.

The WA Government logo should always be placed first and to the left, except on the occasion that federal funding is provided, in which case, the WA Government logo will sit immediately to the right of the Australian Government logo.

A few dont's

You should also be careful not to:

  • change the size or shape of any part of the WA Government logo
  • place the logo on a patterned background
  • distort the logo
  • re-create the logo using different fonts
  • use the words Government of Western Australia without the State Coat of Arms
  • attach other words to the logo.

Social media

If you would like to tag the WA Government in your funding acknowledgement on social media, please use the following accounts. Wording for social media posts should acknowledge WA Government funding rather than individual departments. You can tag in the department in the handles. 

For example:

The Sunny Town Slammers are ready for the next season with their new team jerseys.

The new uniforms were made possible through a $10,000 investment from the WA Government.  Local artist Bob Smith worked with players to design the uniforms.
