NSIN Logos

Master Logo

The master logo is the centerpiece of NSIN’s identity and should be prominently positioned on all printed and electronic communications. The secondary master logo works best on projects that primarily have a horizontal format such as certain postcards, billboards and mailers. While black and white versions of the master and secondary logos are available, the NSIN blue logo should be used in most situations. The master and secondary logos are available as EPS, JPEG, and PNG files.

NSIN Monogram

The monogram is usually reserved for in-house applications. It may also be used for major organization-wide initiatives that use the “NSIN” acronym. While black and white versions of the monogram and secondary monogram are available, the NSIN blue logo should be used in most situations. The monogram and secondary monogram are available as EPS, JPEG, and PNG files.

Program Logos

Each NSIN program has a series of logos available for branding its marketing materials. Please email marketing@nsin.us to request program logos.

Typography

Consistent use of our official fonts unifies materials and adds another element that defines NSIN’s visual identity.

NSIN’s two official fonts are Lato and EB Garamond. In most instances, Lato is the font of choice.

Download the complete Lato font family for free from Google Fonts.

For official correspondence and other long-form print documents, EB Garamond may be used for body copy measuring 12 points or less.

Color Palette

Beyond our logo, color is the most recognizable aspect of NSIN’s brand identity. Using color appropriately is the easiest way to ensure our marketing materials create a cohesive and memorable NSIN brand.

The NSIN color palette has two layers: primary and accent palettes. While accent colors can work well to enhance NSIN’s primary color palette, improper use of them undermines the brand.
