Design Team

The Design team consists of professional designers within the Communications department who promote Church of Scotland initiatives and provide design advice and support to Presbyteries and local churches upon request.

If you require a copy of the Church of Scotland brand guidelines, logos, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint document templates, you can find them here.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

To maintain efficiency and consistency in our visual communication, we adhere to a standardised workflow and the Church of Scotland brand guidelines for every design request. To avoid delays and ensure a smooth process, please submit your requests well in advance.

In order to present the Church of Scotland as a visually coordinated organisation - all communications should follow a single visual identity guideline.
