Brand Guide
Our communications and brand guide for grantees and sponsorship recipients includes many of the resources below in an easy-to-read (and share) PDF.
Marketing Your Events
Please let us know about any upcoming public events associated with your grant or sponsorship that we can help promote. Ideally, we’d like to know about them 2-6 weeks in advance.
We will add your event to our online calendar, share it in our state-wide e-newsletter, email it directly to our subscribers in your area, and share it on our social media channels.
Crediting Us
We’d appreciate your crediting Virginia Humanities whenever possible. We have a few logo options for you to choose from, but our preference is for you to use our primary logo (pictured below).
Our logo color is a deep navy blue. If you need the exact color values, they are:
- RGB: 35, 45, 75
- HEX: #232D4B
- CMYK Coated: 87, 70, 22, 44
- CMYK Uncoated: 98, 83, 12, 46
Some quick dos and don’ts about our logo:
- Do use any of the logos in this folder
- Do use the white logo on dark backgrounds
- Don’t recreate the logo from text
- Don’t change the color of the logo
If including a logo isn’t possible or appropriate, please use a statement like: “Made possible in part by a grant from Virginia Humanities.”
Announcing Your Grant or Sponsorship
If your organization is on social media, we encourage you to share the news of your grant using our custom social media badge. At the link below you’ll find badges for grants and sponsorships. We recommend posting the animated version on Instagram and the static version on Facebook and Twitter.
You’ll find a list of our social media accounts at the bottom of this page. When you share news about your project award, please tag us so we can amplify your message.
Share your excitement about the award in a video, post a behind the scenes look at your project, or share a photo of your project team. We’d love to see you! You can tag us on your existing posts or send content directly to our communications team.
Additional Info for Regional Center Grantees
If you received a grant through one of our regional humanities centers, please use the appropriate center-specific logos linked below instead of our primary logo. We also welcome you to contact our regional support staff with questions.
