Logo
The IFRC logo is our most recognisable visual identifier, representing our organisation and laying the foundation for a cohesive visual identity.
As it is often the first thing our audiences see, it is crucial to use it correctly and consistently across print and digital materials.

Elements
The IFRC logo consists of four elements: the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems, the word 'IFRC', and a white background.
Emblems
Our emblems have worldwide recognition in national and international law under the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. It is essential that the design of the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems stay unchanged. They are symbols of assistance in times of conflict and disaster and must be protected against misuse and abuse.

Wordmark
At the 2019 International Conference, a decision was reached in agreement with all National Societies to exclusively use the acronym 'IFRC' in English. This is why, we do not have alternative language versions of the logo.
White background
Please note that the white background is an essential component of the IFRC logo and should never be removed.
The white background should always be larger than the space covered by the emblems and text. You can find the guidelines on defining the size of the white container in the Clear Space section.
Clear Space
The logo must maintain a distinct and clear appearance at all times.
Regardless of the logo version used, it is essential to allocate a minimum clear space around it, free from any other visual elements. As the logo will be presented in various sizes, the clear space requirements should be proportional to the logo's dimensions.
Determine the logo’s clear space and the size of white container by measuring the size of the “x”, where “x” is the height of the emblems.
Logo colours
The IFRC logo uses three primary colours out of four. Find out more about all primary colours here.
Grayscale logo
Please only use the grayscale logos in situations where a full-colour option is impossible, such as in black-and-white newspapers, or in cases when multi-colour printing is unavailable.
