UKAID brand

The request was successful.

Dear Sir/Madam,

These questions pertain to the 'UKAID' brand.

— When was the current logo, corporate style, graphics and branding implemented?
— Who designed it?
— How much were the designers paid for their services?
— Were other designers consulted? Was there competition? If so, who
was involved, and was any payment made to unsuccessful firms?
— Are there any "alternate" versions of the branding (as in, any
which were designed but not taken up), and if so, please supply an
electronic copy.
— Please provide me with a copy of your logo guidelines, branding
manual or equivalent document.

Yours faithfully,
Steve Elibank

Dear Mr Elibank

Thank you for your e-mail of today.

I can confirm that DFID received your request on the 4 May due to a UK
Bank holiday. Information Commissioners Office "Awareness guidance note
11" states the 20 working day clock starts the day after the public
authority receives the request which leaves the final date for
responding the 2 June 2010.

However, as we are still considering the public interest in connection
with section 43 (commercial interests) I am advising you that we have
extended the deadline for response to 16 June 2010.

The attached letter provides more details of this decision.

Yours sincerely
