How freely can brigades reuse CfA branding elements on projects, promotional materials, etc.?
@todrobbins I believe this is covered by the brigade MOU’s
@civicwhitaker can you lend the official answer?

Yes, if you’ve signed the MOU you’re able to use our branding.
I’ll grab the guidelines later today

So this is listed on the NDoCH page but I have never seen it before… posters!?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?
I have SVGs I recreated for some of them. Here are at least the No one is coming . . . it's up to us stickers…

You can open them in Creative Suite or Sketch to edit and take out our logo and replace with yours, obvs.

We’re working on updating these - by NDoCH we should have a toolkit that has all of our assets in one place in addition to some cool things for y’all

@carlvlewis Thanks for the SVG recreations … @civicwhitaker … the posters that are already on the NDoCH site are awesome … but more of these pre-made posters will be just great… so I’m excited to hear you’re working on it all!
We had a brigade leader meeting today, and we were discussing t-shirts for NDoCH and possibly using either the “nobody is coming…” or “work on things that matter” on the shirt.
A) is that OK?
B) Would the assets be available in time.
We certainly could use the phrase in a different script but would be nice to be consistent. UNLESS, there are better ND0CH graphics to use.
@civicwhitaker Is there a vector version of the brigade/network logo anywhere we can have access to?
The MOU’s included a link to this Brigade Branding Guidelines document:
Within that is a link to what is apparently the official source of truth for current logo assets (for both CfA and the brigade):
Wiki-Mode BS

I have this somewhere as a vector I traced. I’ll add it to the wiki after dinner.
Whoa, @chris, that’s a bit of a compliment that’s tottally undeserved ha. Best Design System is going on my CV for sure now. 
Hello everyone! Quickly adding to this post that we have an update to CfA’s Style Guide. Code for America Style Guide - For Brigades .pdf (175.8 KB)

Hey does anyone have the Sketch file linked above? With Carl sadly gone, it seems many of his online resources may have been erased?
This is a great document to have. Thank you for building and sharing it. The title of it is a little confusing because I was expecting it to be a style guide similar to the CfA style guide that outlines design, colors, icons, fonts, etc. Perhaps each of them should be updated to reference each other so that it becomes more of a package deal… both the visual design style guide, and the writer’s style guide?
Not sure if this would be of use to any other brigades… but here is our brigade’s style guide for Hex stickers. I wouldn’t assume another brigade would use it as-is, but it might be a convenient document to base your own brigade’s sticker designs on.
