The AOASG has developed a series of downloadable graphics for the community to use in their advocacy of open access. All graphics are available under a CC-BY license. Please contact us for the source files if required through the contact form.

For OA week 2018 we created an OA bookmark of quick tips. Feel free to download as is or contact us for a customisable version.
