Logo guidelines
HOPE International Brand Book
Exclusion zone Overcrowding the HOPE logo detracts from its impact and presence, so we have established an exclusion zone around the logo that should remain clear of type, graphics, or other visual clutter that may compete for the viewer’s attention.
Use the height of the “H” in HOPE as your unit of measure to establish the exclusion zone on each side of the logo. This exclusion zone is conveniently built into HOPE’s logo files and should be maintained whenever possible.
Compressed exclusion zone
Full exclusion zone
The horizontal logo has a compressed version of the exclusion zone that uses the crossbar of the “H” instead of the full letter height. This should be used only in special circumstances that do not permit the full exclusion zone.

Logo guidelines
HOPE International Brand Book
Logo misuse The following examples illustrate possible misuses of HOPE’s logo that detract from our brand integrity and should be avoided.
Keep the relationship between the sun icon and the text consistent.
Do use the logo in its original proportions, without stretching, squeezing, or rotating.
Do use only the approved font for “HOPE International.”
Text and images should remain free from obvious shadows or other graphic effects.
3.6
Logo guidelines
Do use only HOPE’s approved colors. See Section 3.3.
Do use the logo against backgrounds that complement rather than compete. Avoid overly busy backgrounds.
Do use the “HOPE International” logo text only in conjunction with the sun icon.
For a single-color logo, do use all white or all black rather than all yellow or all brown.
Avoid backgrounds with insufficient contrast between the background and the logo.
