is olive green with white lettering, a white scout emblem on a purple circular background in the centre of the flag with the scout motto 'Be Prepared' underneath. The flag in Scotland is different, due to the role of the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland's ceremonies, and consists of a olive green background with the scout emblem and motto appearing in yellow and a St. Andrew's Cross next to the hoist. Logo and visual identity When the section was first launched in 2002, the Explorer Scout logo consisted of two scalene triangular shapes with curved corners overlapping each other with the word 'Explorers' inside the common area of both shapes. The colours used in logo, namely yellow and green, were the main colours for the section. A custom typeface called Explorer was used for the logo and for headings in Explorer Scout branded publications, with Frutiger used for body text in line with the rest of the association. Explorer was created to portray a "adventurous personality", fitting in well with the association brand focusing on everyday adventure introduced in 2008, and building on the previous positioning of Explorer Scouts as being "Extreme, Challenging and Streetwise". In 2015, the Scout Association updated their visual identity style, including the section brands, to focus on the Scouting fleur-de-lis. As part of this, the new Explorer Scout logo was simplified to a navy blue wordmark with a small fleur-de-lis either located to the top right of the wordmark or a larger version located directly above the wordmark. The typeface for the wordmark was changed to Gill Sans, however this was not used in any other publication; instead TheSerif was used for headings in line with the rest of the association and Frutiger continued to be used for body text. Publications moved away from pictures and outlines and instead featured an artwork style that the association described as being "Editorial, sophisticated, expressive". When the Scout Association brand was updated in May 2018, with a new and stylised fleur-de-lis, the Explorer Scout logo was altered to remove the previous fleur-de-lis mark. Publications either continued the use of the previous artwork or used the new image style of the association and the typeface for all documents was updated to use the Google Fonts typeface Nunito Sans.
