Brand Toolkit
Within the online toolkit, you will be introduced to the elements of the IEEE Foundation identity and successful applications of use. These brand identity guidelines represent an opportunity to tell the story of IEEE programs enabled through philanthropic giving to the IEEE Foundation – whether it be visually, verbally or in writing – and to do so in a way that is consistent & polished.
To maximize the ability for the IEEE Foundation to reach all audiences, we must ensure that all materials maintain a consistent “look” and a consistent “theme.” This allows every IEEE Foundation communication to reinforce the brand and make our message stronger.
For questions about IEEE Foundation brand assets, please contact donate@ieee.org
The following sections will guide you through our brand assets:
The Foundation Mark
The IEEE Foundation mark (logo) must be included on all digital and print collateral materials. Please refer to the Foundation Visual Identity Guidelines. If you have questions about the IEEE Foundation mark or need further assistance with IEEE program marks, please contact donate@ieee.org. Print quality files can be found here.

Configurations & Size Ratio
The size of the identity is matured across the width of the entire mark. To ensure the optimum definition of the identity in reproduction, the mark should not be reproduced smaller than the minimum size notated. Original artwork should always be used to reproduce the identity.
Minimum Size for Print
1.875in (47.625mm)
Minimum Size for Web
135 pixels
Clear Space
Spacing is critical to readability. The area indicated around the identity is known as the isolation area. To ensure the clarity of the identity, this area should be kept free of any type, imagery, or graphic elements. The isolation area is always determined by calculating the height of the character ‘I’ within IEEE Foundation mark being used.
Donor Support Seal
This Donor Support Seal is a tag that may be used to highlight IEEE programs made possible in whole or in part by giving to the IEEE Foundation. Use it in your Powerpoint presentation slides, on your Website, in publications and anywhere a donor supported program is depicted to show the breadth and depth of the impact that donors to the IEEE Foundation have across the Institute.
Below are multiple colors that can be adjusted in size to meet the needs of any publication.
