Well it was launched a few weeks ago and as well as being able to download logos and letter templates, if you are a Leader, then you can log in and create flyers, posters banners etc. If you create, for example, a flyer, you can download it as a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Portable_Document_Format\" target=\"_blank\">PDF<\/a> to print off yourself or you can get them professionally printed \u2013 of course there is a cost involved!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the things I liked was the fact that you can generate your own logo! However, it doesn\u2019t work very well! For example &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: inline; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Porthill Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PorthillLogo.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Porthill Logo\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now the lettering on the 1st Porthill bit, is all distorted and if you have the purple version-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: inline; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"D-BB52B4F5_00001_1\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/DBB52B4F5_00001_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"D-BB52B4F5_00001_1\" width=\"240\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The colours of the logo and the writing is different! However there is a work around!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"display: inline; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Pageflex Server [document: D-BB52B4F5_00001]\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/DistrictLogo2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Pageflex Server [document: D-BB52B4F5_00001]\" width=\"240\" height=\"179\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s better! One of the options is to preview the logo as a PDF before you create it. If you save the PDF and have access to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adobe_Photoshop\" target=\"_blank\">Photoshop<\/a>, which luckily I do through work, then it can be opened and converted to a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jpg\" target=\"_blank\">JPG<\/a> file or whatever your image file of choice is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you don\u2019t have access to Photoshop, I don\u2019t know how to convert the PDF to an image file, so if anyone knows of ways to do this, please let me know!<\/p>\n<p><span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:247,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.scouts.org.uk\\\/brand&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.scouts.org.uk\\\/brand&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:248,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Portable_Document_Format&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Portable_Document_Format&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:249,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Adobe_Photoshop&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20260412015616\\\/https:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Adobe_Photoshop&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-15 11:26:28&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-21 12:14:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-24 17:58:35&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-15 03:23:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-23 11:47:54&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-27 23:04:08&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-07 20:30:14&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-01 00:32:02&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-05 13:31:50&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-17 06:19:27&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-17 06:19:27&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:250,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/Jpg&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20260210054306\\\/https:\\\/\\\/en.wikipedia.org\\\/wiki\\\/JPG&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-15 11:26:37&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-21 12:14:10&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-04-24 17:58:37&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-15 03:23:34&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:429},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-23 11:47:52&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:429},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-05-27 23:04:08&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-07 20:30:14&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:404},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-01 00:32:02&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-05 13:31:51&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-09 17:22:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-17 06:19:27&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-17 06:19:27&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in October I mentioned that the Scout Association was setting up a Brand Centre for all the things we would need to be able to promote ourselves in a unified and professional way.
