The
Federal Identity Program (FIP) is the
Canadian government's
corporate identity program. The purpose of the FIP is to clearly identify each program and service of the government or the
government of Canada in general. Managed by the
Treasury Board Secretariat, this program, and the government's communication policy, help to shape the public image of the government. In general,
logos – or, in the parlance of the policy, visual identifiers – used by government departments other than those specified in the FIP must be approved by the Treasury Board.
