LOGO USAGE GUIDELINES OCTOBER 2016
PREFERRED LOGO The Robert Toigo Foundation logo is the most often seen expression of our identity. When we use our logo consistently and correctly, our audiences will recognize and associate it with the excellence that our organization signifies. The Toigo logo is a fixed piece of art that does not change. The letterforms are custom drawn and set in upper and lowercase. There is only one version. Do not redraw the logo or change it in any way. If the logo is too large to fit the application you are creating, reduce the art so it is proportionally correct. The logo seen here is intended for use in all Toigo communications. ABOUT THE LOGO The Toigo logo visually represents the unwavering commitment to Bring Diversity to Life. The logo s circles create movement signifying growth and change.
