Connexions Branding

Maintaining a strong, and consistent, visual identity by the correct use of branding helps to ensure that Connexions is instantly recognisable as a source of reliable, tailor-made information, advice and guidance.

Branding includes such elements as standard colours and fonts, and the correct positioning of logos and images in each type of printed or online communication medium.

To support partners in the production of Connexions-related communications and resources, and to ensure that the Connexions brand is used according to the DCSF's expectations, a comprehensive set of branding guidance and documents are available below, including guidelines which provide flexibility for local needs.

The Connexions Service Specifications for LAs include:
Local authorities must ensure services are presented through the Connexions brand.

Opening Zip files

Windows XP

If you're using Windows XP, then your operating system has built-in support for Zip files

1) Double-click the archive icon and it will open a folder. Then you can drag the files you want into another folder.

2) Right-click the archive icon and select "Extract All" and Windows will prompt you through the process.

Warning:
Windows will let you open documents that are inside a ZIP archive. This is great if you just want to see what the document is. But beware that if you change the document and then want to save it, windows defaults to a temporary folder that you have trouble finding if you are not watching carefully. It is best not to work from inside a ZIP archive.

 Mac

Simply double-click the icon. The Finder will create a new folder with the same name as the archive file and decompress all the files from the archive in that folder.
