If you do it well, is there any reason the Agency style guide can't be included in your portfolio?

My portfolio for the BFA program needs to have only my class assignments in it.
AKA:
Everything from my 104 (beginning) class, my 105 (intermediate) class, and 1 from my typography class.
9 assignments total.
For a portfolio for a job, as in my art portfolio, Yes, and it would show that I can essentially design from ground up an entire scheme. I wanna see if I can get into some website design classes and if I do I wanna see if I can get an entire scheme to go with a website...
Speaking of which, if The Agency had an intranet, what would it's webpage look like?
It's very loud in here...

Yes, I think the visual identity would be consistent across all media. That'll be an interesting challenge! What differences would there be when displaying it on an external screen vs. viewing it in an Agent's HUD?

...with the HUD it's more stripped down, and there probably wouldn't be a need for a lot of the branding like there is with the wider media.
Reality is a formality.
...has an intranet, and it's a mix of official-looking stuff, and stupid stuff like lol!Agents and their own version of the cheezeburger network.
There's also the online classes for the Academies, and wikis, and whatnot. And probably one of those corporate social networking sites that no one uses. :P

I voted "no" before reading comments. for a lot of the reasons mentioned. I think the agency as a whole should have no public logo, though individual branches might simply to identify documents as coming from them.
for the ID issue i think it would be more effective to have a tiny bit of magic attached to the card so it gives an "all is in order" impression to any non-magical folk agents have to play federal employee with than to have an actual logo. an actual logo would be remembered by some, the magic would be remembered by none. simply because of how it works.
...I had psychic paper, it would makes things so much easier.
I mean, the fae do have varying degrees of linguistic magic - most signs in fairyland are set up with at least one set of magic letters so you can read it in your "default" language (saves room from writing things a dozen times over).
But for the Agency to have stuff like that it would mean actually cooperating with the fae and, yanno, doing things differently. -_-

I would very much like them to have one, because then I could get me branded stuff :D
But I don't know as they would have one, because (if nothing else) weren't they around before logos? And then bureaucracy would get in the way. I like to think there's a sub-committee somewhere trying to decide if they need one and if they do need one, what it should be.
There ought to be a way to officially recognise Agency documents, though, that only the agency could use. Like a blob of Blue, or something (except that'd be bad juju, but I can't think of anything)
There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity.

...was pretty much what started this conversation back up, Bufi thought it would be cool if we had Agency-branded stuff in the store.
But I don't know as they would have one, because (if nothing else) weren't they around before logos?
Various types of branding, though, have been around for thousands of years, and would really change with each iteration, so their current logo would have only been around for about two hundred years, if not less.
I like to think there's a sub-committee somewhere trying to decide if they need one and if they do need one, what it should be.
They're probably not a patch on the "one uniform" movement, who want a standardised uniform/feature colour all over the world.

Well, you can tell if something is required, so I suppose that's good enough?

...anywhere near the right track?

You could also do the angstom symbol, Å only makethe circle bigger, like half the size of the A. Although, that suggests halo's again.
But , Å-F Å-T Å-C would make good shorthands.
And, earn their halos? Is that really like a badge you can earn?

...people to try and divine how the angstom is related though.

No, for once I was actually speaking metaphorically.

You could also do the angstom symbol, Å
... seeing this character referred to as "the ångström symbol" feels rather odd to me.
Most likely, this is because that's very rarely the meaning I intend when I use it - as it's actually a fairly common letter in my mother tongue's alphabet, and even has a dedicated key on my keyboard. :P (It's a vowel actually, so I can quite easily pronounce it by itself. Rather different from A though, so Ågency isn't much of a pun. :P )
...why I'm wanting to avoid it. :)

I think they would at least have some kind of letter head for their paperwork, especially the intra-agency ones.
But I remember they had those failed badges that had anti-solstice sayings on them; they would have some kind of symbol on them.
...I'm starting to like this idea of individual branch logos, it would help with the intra-Agency stuff.
