The brand architecture

To effectively align all Queensland Government websites, a brand architecture has been defined. The brand architecture allows departments and agencies to understand their position within the government's structure, and what level of flexibility they will have within the master brand.

Defining these brand levels creates efficiencies in time and minimises re-work across the organisation, whilst establishing trust with users.
