Speaking about CivTech

Always use our correct name

Consistency strengthens our brand, so always refer to us as CivTech — written exactly at is here, as a single word with a capital ‘C’ and ’T’.

Be clear about who we are

CivTech is a Scottish Government programme that brings the public, private and third sectors together to build products that make people’s lives better. We tackle real-world Challenges from government bodies, public agencies, and charities — inviting anyone with a great idea to co-develop solutions with us.

Verify key facts

Double-check data or project references. We are happy to provide current materials, just email civtech@gov.scot.

Help spread the word

Mentioning CivTech in public boosts awareness. Tag us on social media or direct people to www.civtech.scot.

Including us in a presentation

If you want to include a slide about CivTech in a presentation you’re delivering, please use the slide shown below, which is branded appropriately and describes CivTech correctly. You can download a PowerPoint version here and a Keynote version here.

Using our logo in other places

If you want to use the CivTech logo on your website or in a publication, make sure you use the original artwork files, which you can download here.

When using our logo:

  • Do not stretch, crop, recolour, or modify it

  • Maintain plenty of clear space around it — no nearby text or graphics

  • Use the dark logo only on a white background

  • Use the white logo only on a clean dark-coloured background

If you have any questions about using our logo, email civtech@gov.scot.

Keep us in the loop

If you're speaking or presenting at an event, or get some coverage in the media, be sure to let us know! This allows us to support you with updated slides or messaging, share your news on our channels and celebrate Alumni achievements.

Just drop us a line at civtech@gov.scot and tell us what you are up to.
