Using our partnership logo

You can download the relevant bilingual partnership logo(s) you need from this page and use them anywhere where people can clearly see them. Please read the information below to determine which partnership logo is right for you. 

The National Lottery

Nature Networks Fund (round two), Community Woodlands, TWIG and Local Places for Nature are jointly funded by the Welsh Government and money raised by The National Lottery. Therefore, for these programmes, please use our logo with The National Lottery crossed fingers in the top left corner.

Breaking Barriers, Coetiroedd Bach: Tiny Forests in Wales and Nature Networks (round one and three) are funded only by the Welsh Government, so please use our logo without the crossed fingers.

You can download your relevant logo from either of the following folders:

Logo formats

We have logos available in the following formats:

• JPEG – this format is widely used for standard publishing (for example, to use on PowerPoint or MS word.) These are available in black only.
• PNG – for high quality web publishing
• EPS (also known as Encapsulated PostScript image) – for high quality printing, used by graphic designers

When using a partnership logo, please use it in its entirety to ensure the funding and delivery relationship is maintained.

The logos should never be altered, for example, do not: distort or resize disproportionately, use one language on its own as they must be bilingual, remove any typeface, or change the direction of the Welsh dragon – it must always face to the left.

Colours

There are two colour versions of the partnership logos: black and white.

Your background colour will determine which version to use:

• if using a one-colour print, use the black version of the logo
• when placing the logo on dark-coloured backgrounds, always use the white version of the logo

The logo must only be reproduced in black or white, do not use any other colour.

Large acknowledgement

For larger acknowledgement materials – for example on outdoor interpretation panels – please make sure the logo is big enough to be clearly visible from a distance of five metres.

Minimum size

The minimum size refers to the whole width of the partnership logo. To make sure the logo is clear and legible, the minimum size it should appear is 108mm in print and 306px on screen.

Media and public relations

Before initiating or taking part in any promotion about work we have funded, you must get in touch with your Investment Manager or The National Lottery Heritage Fund press office. Keep them informed of any further press activities.
