Foundation & Style Guide
Welcome
The Foundation & Style Guide outlines the general policy for using Diocese of Phoenix brand assets, which includes things like logos and photography. Consistent use of these assets helps people easily recognize references to the Diocese of Phoenix.
All requests to use the trademarks must be made in writing and describe the purpose. The request will then be reviewed by the Director of Communications and the Chancellor.
Visual Assets
Primary and Alternate Logos
The Diocesan Crest and Wordmark (the “Primary Logo”) is a direct representation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and must be used with care.
Several variations of the logo exist to meet a range of applications and needs. When choosing which logo version to use in a specific instance, consider legibility and readability first.

Web Logo
The Web Logo may be used on websites or social media posts.
Digital and Social Media
Official Website
The official Diocesan website for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix is dphx.org. The Diocesan website is an effective way of sharing information with the community. We encourage Diocesan staff to review their Diocesan office webpage and update it frequently.
Social Media
The Diocese of Phoenix Office of Communications drives the social media strategy using the handle @phoenixdiocese on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
Hashtags
Hashtags provide us the ability to identify relevant conversations across social media, making it easier for the community to submit content that can be aggregated and displayed elsewhere.
We ask that you use the #DPHX hashtag when posting content on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram concerning the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. Please refer to Diocesan policy on social media usage.
From time to time, additional hashtags will be used for special occasions and celebrations. As we commemorate the Diocese’s 50th Anniversary, we will use the #DPHXremembers hashtag.
Flocknote
We encourage all Diocesan offices to communicate with their groups and ministries by using Flocknote (as opposed to creating and maintaining email lists in Microsoft Outlook).
Flocknote helps you reach people. There is nothing for your groups to download and no extra steps for people to stay connected with you.
By organizing your email lists into different groups and ministries on Flocknote, you can get the message to who needs it. Your members can reply directly to any email or text message you send, vote in polls, RSVP to events, and more. Finally, you will be aware of who is receiving your messages through Flocknote’s analytics. This analytic tool will provide detailed information about your messages.
Learn more about what Flocknote can offer your Diocesan office: flocknote.com
For information about getting your Diocesan office started with Flocknote, to get your Diocesan event shared through social media, or to update your webpage, please contact:
