Imagery and photography

The core of our visual language should be reflected in the simple and optimistic imagery and photography used in TELUS branding. Our images should be bright, friendly, approachable, natural and realistic with a presence of clean light.

The role of nature

Nature can also be used as a metaphor, but more often is used to represent the beautiful simplicity of our brand. Nature is not tied to any one business, it can be used more generally for any messaging needs.
