Design Team

The Design team is comprised of professional designers who work within the Communications department to assist with promotion of Church of Scotland initiatives and offer help/advice to Presbytery and local Church when requested. If you require a copy of the Church of Scotland brand guidelines, logos, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint document templates, you can find it here.

Please get in touch if you have any questions as we are always happy to help.

If you need any assistance, guidance or advice, please contact:

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.

Contact the Communications Manager (Helen Silvis - hsilvis@churchofscotland.org.uk) or the Head of Communications (Ruth MacLeod – ruth.macleod@churchofscotland.org.uk ) and a member of the Design Team.

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