Our Brand. Our Identity.
The way we present our brand to the world, says everything about our identity and purpose, without ever really saying a word. Our colors, typography and logo have been meticulously placed together by professionals in the industry so that when someone sees our collateral, they know exactly who we are. That’s why we’ve put together this guide with all the elements you’ll need to present our brand the way it was intended to be presented on your own posters, news releases, etc.

They complement our logo and design style, and should be used in a consistent manner to match all other AFE material.
Each font has licensing restrictions and each installation is responsible for obtaining their own license. They are available for purchase online: Advert, Rubber Stamp and Gotham.

This is an example of a blank poster template that is provided by Armed Forces Entertainment.
This is an example of how to use our poster template. Note the large typography so that it is easily readable from a distance. It also has minimal copy as to not get busy and there is a heirarachy of information, a large header in Rubber Stamp, a subhead in Advert and smaller support copy in Gotham. Add cobranding logos smaller and away from the AFE logo.
