Learn about the branding of our government.
Government Branding
Gapla’s government branding plays a vital role in maintaining the identity and integrity of its government offices, departments, ministries, and services.
Royal and military branding elements are available on monarchy.gaplagov.org and military.gaplagov.org respectively, and are not shown here. National symbols are viewable on our National Symbols page, and are not shown here.
Shown on the left is the most prominent example of Gapla’s government branding, logos for offices or departments, ministries, and services. These logos all use the government seal, Helvetica font, and a small blue side banner, ensuring a consistent and professional visual identity across the Gaplan government.
At the top is an office or department logo, with two lines for the name of the ministry, followed by smaller text at the bottom indicating the office or department within the ministry. In the middle, the ministry logo has two lines for the name of the ministry. At the bottom, the service logo appears with a single line for the name of the service.
The Four Official Seals
The seal of each office features the Coat of Arms in the center, “Federated States of Gapla” in the upper rim, and the name of the office in the lower rim.
Gapla has two executive offices: the Office of the President and the Office of the Deputy President, both of whom are popularly elected leaders. The first-place winner in a presidential election wins the Presidency, the second-place winner in the same presidential election wins the Deputy Presidency. Gapla also has two legislative offices: the Office of the Legislative Speaker, the leader of the majority caucus in the National Assembly, and the Office of the Opposition Leader, the leader of the minority caucus in the National Assembly.
Official Standards
Gapla has official standards for each of its three branches of government, the Monarchy of Gapla, and the Armed Forces which feature the national seal.
Each standard may also be used personally to identify the leaders of each branch. For example, the Standard of the Executive may be personally used by the President of Gapla, the Standard of the National Assembly may be personally used by the Speaker of the National Assembly, and the Standard of the Supreme Court may be used by the Chief Justice.
Although the Prince or Princess of the Danubias is the commander of the Armed Forces, the Standard of the Armed Forces cannot be used personally by the Prince or Princess of the Danubias, as his or her royal standard takes precedence. Additionally, the Standard of the Monarchy cannot be used personally by the Prince or Princess of the Danubias, as the his or her royal standard again takes precedence. In the event that a member of the Monarchy of Gapla who has the right to use a royal standard, except for the Prince of the Danubais, or a member of His Majesty’s Armed Forces who has the right to use a military standard, gains the right to use any of these official standards, the official standard takes precedence over the royal standard as the member’s personal flag, although the royal or military standard may be used ceremonially,
