Australian Sports Commission Branded Office Templates Project

SM2 was one of the few companies invited to submit a tender to develop the corporate styles and Office templates for Australian Sports Commission (ASC). SM2 was quickly awarded the tender after demonstrating their ability to complete the work creatively, within the tight timeframes and budget and after glowing references were provided by our current and past clients.

Introduction

Australian Sports Commission LetterheadThe Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is the Australian Government body that funds, manages and invests in sport at all levels in Australia. It works closely with national sporting organisations to increase participation in physical activity and sports by all Australians and to develop elite sporting excellence. The ASC also manages a range of programs and services which enable sport to contribute to the social and economic health and well-being of communities in Australia and internationally.

In order to ensure that the ASC maintains a consistent and cohesive image with our stakeholders, the ASC wanted to have a consistent font and style for all internal and external documents and materials.

Previously there are numerous ASC templates, forms, policies and procedures that were available for staff on the intranet and in hard copy. Given that many of these documents were produced by different sections across the ASC there was no consistent font or style that sections follow. The templates were also difficult to use, varied in style, formatting and font and some had very large file sizes that mad printing and storage difficult.

Australian Sports CommissionThe aim of the project was to develop a range of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint templates for the ASC that projected a consistent image for all internal documents and documents presented to ASC stakeholders. This included consistent use of corporate logo/branding, font and formatting style.

The templates were provided by SM2 to be placed on the ASC intranet for staff to access. A PDF preview of each template was also provided to show the formatting styles.

To assist the review process, SM2 released the templates to an Online Environment.  These designs were placed on an SM2 hosted ASC template specific website at a private location for ASC stakeholders to view the documents.Australian Sports Commission PPT

Once all files were reviewed and signed off, SM2 Delivered all files to for The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to install and integrate into The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) hosted intranet that enabled The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to maintain full control over on-going maintenance, design and content changes as required.
