KY'S COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS

Remember to let everyone know what you’re planning around KY: Create an event on Facebook and share it on KY Events or KY Career, and join the discussion on KY Today! Please note that posts in KY’s Facebook groups should only be in English even if the target group is Finnish speaking. We want to make sure everyone is able to understand and join discussion if they wish to do so.

RESOURCES FOR COMMUNICATIONS

Event photography

Pictures from KY's events can be found at ky.kuvat.fi. KY’s associations have the possibility to have their event photos published on this page. Contact KY’s Communications Coordinator if you wish to do so and do not already have login details for doing this. A camera for taking event photos can be reserved from the resource calendar and can be picked up from the KY office during service hours.

Brand and visual materials

KY's logos and renewed Brand Book can be found in this Google Drive folder. It comes in two colours: dark green (used on top of a light background) and light orange (used on top of a dark background). KY’s committees should use one of KY’s logos in all visual materials. Sub-committees may use it if they wish and KY Clubs can use the KY logo with a permission from the Communications sector. It includes instructions for using KY’s logos, official colors, graphic elements and typography.
