A guide to using FPF logo and branding assets
Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has compiled guidelines on using our logo and branding assets once written consent has been provided (see legal information at bottom of this page and request consent here). Please read through the rules for each type of logo before incorporating it into your graphic materials.
Single-color logos may be used when a preexisting color scheme limits the colors that can be used. The examples here are black but may be changed to a color more appropriate to the encompassing material it is being placed in, provided it complies with our color guidelines.
Logos should never be skewed and should maintain their original aspect ratio regardless of size. Logos should retain their crisp edges and never appear pixelated. Vector images (SVG) are provided to accommodate any size logo required.
