Brand identity


GAIN logo

The GAIN logo should always be displayed in such a way as to ensure that the words “Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition” are legible. In exceptional circumstances - where space is restricted, for example on the spine of a book - the bowl of grain and the acronym “GAIN” can be used without fully spelling out the name of the Foundation.

The different variants of the GAIN logo are available below. Please contact the communications team at communications@gainhealth.org for permission and guidelines before using the GAIN logo in any capacity.

Do's

Wherever possible, the GAIN logo should be presented in colour on a white background. It is acceptable for the logo to be reversed out on a coloured background and for the logo to appear in white. The GAIN logo can appear in black only on a black and white document. No other colour should be used for the GAIN logo.
