Master logo

Tearfund’s logo features a ‘t’ that also serves as a cross. This symbolises our calling to follow Jesus’s example to bring hope and transformation to those in extreme poverty.

We use our Tearfund blue master logo at every audience touchpoint possible to build brand value and recognition.

Monochrome logo

The mono version of our logos should only be used when colour use is not an option. e.g printing in black and white.

Please contact natasha.gibson@tearfund.org to check usage.

Monochrome - white

For limited use only. Permission required

Monochrome - 100% black

For use on black and white documents.

    Spacing

    Taking the length of ‘u’ and ‘n’ in the logo used, leave at least this area clear around the logo, preventing any other graphic elements such as logos or type from interfering.

    Size

    The smallest size the Tearfund logo can be used is 23mm wide.

    Sensitive locations

    Our alternative logo for use in security-sensitive regions where the cross in our master logo could compromise the safety of our staff or continuity of our work.

    The same colour, spacing and sizing rules apply as per the main Tearfund logo.

    Note: this is not an optional logo choice; it is intended for specific use only.

    This version is available on request. Please email natasha.gibson@tearfund.org

    Tearfund family

    The Tearfund family has 11 members across the world. Tearfund UK was the first family member, set up in 1968 by the Evangelical Alliance.

    UK, Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada, USA, Germany

    The main brand mark is intended as the primary one for use, but the other versions are for each Tearfund Family to use under their own additional instruction

    Please make sure you gain any additional information from your respective Tearfund Family contact.

    Brand partnerships

    For brand partnerships, we display both our logo as well as our partner’s. Space between each logo uses the ‘un’ from the Tearfund logo. When sizing the logos, start with the Tearfund logo, then optically size and center the partner logo for visual balance.

    Partnership logos

    On covers

    On brochure and booklets, the partnership logos sit in the bottom right corner of your design

    Partnership logos

    On sign-offs

    On brochures and booklets the partnership sign-off sits on the back cover.

    On posters and fliers the partnership sign-off should be used as provided.

    Favicon

    Our favicon is a simplified representation of our brand that captures our identity using our most recognisable brand assets. It’s used where our full logo can not be used. The icon is not a replacement for the main logo and can not be used alone.

    All countries within the Tearfund Family should use the favicon only as supplied and specified here.

    Where it’s used

    • Social media
    • Internet browser

    Misuse

    Don't use other colours

    Only use our logo in our Tearfund blue, white and black

    Photography

    Don’t use black or white versions of the logo (or other colours than Tearfund Blue) on photography.

    Don't place at the edge

    Our logo requires breathing space around it to maximise its visual presence. Placing it tight to the edge of any elements of borders is not allowed.

    Don't distort

    Keep the brand mark’s proportions true. Don’t stretch or distort it to fit any design or layout.

    Don't rotate

    Don’t rotate the brand mark for any reason. The mark must remain horizontal.
