Design and Development of AIPTIS Organisational Identity and Branding Guideline
Location: Home-based (Jakarta, Indonesia)
Duration: March to April 2021
Background and Rationale
This brief is to outline a Request for a Proposal to provide design and development of the AIPTIS organisational identity and branding guideline, which will include visual elements to represent the overall face of AIPTIS - from logos to typeface, tagline, design templates, imagery, colour palette, and tone of voice.
The Australia-Indonesia Partnership Towards an Inclusive Society (AIPTIS) is a continuation of Australia’s commitment to supporting Indonesia’s stability and prosperity, through the development goal of more Indonesians can equitably participate in and benefit from Indonesia’s social, political and economic opportunities. This program builds upon previous gains and learning while responding to new challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. It will support stronger partnerships between the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and civil society organisations (CSOs), and work with a broad range of stakeholders and partners to respond to Indonesia’s commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and supporting and strengthening the social, political and economic institutions and civil society impacting gender equality and women’s empowerment, and social inclusion in Indonesia.
AIPTIS will build on experiences and lessons working in community-driven development, civil society programs, women’s empowerment and inclusive development programs – most recently through the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (MAMPU) and Program Peduli (social inclusion), as well as considerable support through other development programs (supported by GOI, DFAT, and other development partners). It also builds on decades of work by Indonesian CSOs focusing on gender equality and social inclusion.
The End of Program Outcomes for AIPTIS include:
- Selected national and sub-national government policies and programs are implemented in ways that enable greater economic opportunities and access to services for women, people with disabilities, and vulnerable groups.
- Improved policy and regulatory environment for CSO partners working on gender equality, disability and social inclusion.
- Changes in perspectives and public discourse around gender, disability and social inclusion amongst communities, leaders and institutions within the scope of the Program.
Objective
The development of AIPTIS organisational identity will primarily involve the design of a logo that will serve as the icon that represent AIPTIS, helps convey its program narrative to the stakeholders, and ultimately helps build the visibility of the program while also enhances both the Australian and Indonesian governments stances in the areas of GEDSI and civil society strengthening.
The AIPTIS branding guideline is an essential instruction manual and rule book on how to communicate AIPTIS. It will lay out all the visual details, as well as important notes about the program’s voice, tone, and messaging. The guideline will come in the form of a physical or digital booklet filled with examples of what to do and what not to do. The guideline will be used both internally and externally to ensure consistency and continuity with AIPTIS’ visual identity and underpinning strategy.
The AIPTIS identity and branding guideline must be inclusive, and as much as possible take into consideration the seven principles of universally accessible design:
- Equitable use: The design is useful and accessible to people of diverse abilities.
- Flexibility in use: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.
- Simple and intuitive use: Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.
- Perceptible information: The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.
- Tolerance for error: he design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
- Low physical effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.
- Size and space for approach and use: Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user's body size, posture, or mobility.
