That's the one. Packed full of cuddly rounded FF Cocon font goodness.
Not a Times New Roman to be seen.

It loses a lot in a cut and paste translation. I should have looked for it from an official source sooner, live and learn
.

Thank gaz. Very odd. The one I had before is definitely different. I got it from Dennis Snape's Facebook group page. But I was looking at it on the PC, not the tabet I'm using now.

Interesting to see that Scotland and Wales have their own variation of the logo, but not England and Northern Ireland
.
In the blurb, the Big Bike Revival is shown headed by a UK wide logo although the BBR was an England only event, confusing for readers.

To be clearer, in the re-brand kit the new name plus strapline is printed several times in blue and yellow but the font is Times New Roman, not Cocon.
The answer is simple - the WORD doc that was issued does not have the Cocon font "embedded" in it - that means that if you don't have Cocon installed on your machine it substitutes a default font - usually Times New Roman. A PDF is really just a picture of the document it's made from and that will embed the correct fonts (usually ... depends on the pdf creator.) - that's why the pdf looks "correct" [I use the word "correct" as being it's the "right process" ... not the "right answer"
]
To send out the original Word doc without the Cocon font embedded was an error that probably even the office junior wouldn't have made.

Go Cocon, after all, what have the Times New Romans ever done for us?

Just for once I think Philip Benstead may be wrong - I'm pretty sure that the stuff Dennis got (that you then found) was sent to him by Julie Rand at CTC as part of a broadcast mailshot to all MG secretaries - that was in Word format and had the font issue.
Dennis, as Secretary of the HoECC affiliated club had forwarded it to me as a member o0f the club. We have added the CTC/CUK documents to the Library area at
http://www.heartofenglandcyclingclub.org.uk under the "Conversion" section where there is also document published (by popular request from about 30 people) that explains why and how we went about forming HoECC as an affiliated club and dissolving the CTC Heart of England Member Group
