Logos
FEWS NET uses the FEWS NET logo along with logos for organizations who partner to implement FEWS NET work.
FEWS NET logo
The FEWS NET logo is a representation of the Famine Early Warning Systems Network and is a shorthand for the expertise and importance of the organization. For almost 40 years, FEWS NET’s distinct globe logo has been a symbol of our leadership in producing trusted, independent food security analysis.
Overview
The current FEWS NET logo is comprised of the globe logomark and a logotype which may optionally include the full name of the organization.
The logomark symbolizes both satellites monitoring the planet and people joining in conversation.
This dual imagery evokes FEWS NET's remote sensing capabilities and our essential role in connecting information to action through network development and sharing our analytic products with decision-makers.

Full color logo
This is the correct variant to use in most cases.

Full color logo with name
Use this variant for partner reporting.
Use this variant when the logo will be a “headline” introducing FEWS NET and will be large enough for the name to be legible.
Do not use this variant on a FEWS NET branded document as a substitute for writing out the name of the organization in text.

Full color logomark
Use this variant to represent FEWS NET in circle- or square-only formats like a social media profile picture, or as part of a graphical object.
Usage
It is critical that all instances of the logo are consistent. Using the logo correctly upholds the integrity of the FEWS NET brand.
Acceptable variants
The FEWS NET logo may be rendered with a horizontal orientation or stand-alone logomark seal. The logo is available in full color, black, white, or grayscale.
Minimum size
Set the logo to a minimum of 72 pixels or 3/4 inches in height.
Minimum clearance
Give the logo breathing room and define a minimum clear space. The minimum clear space is measured by the x-height of the logotype in the horizontal version of the logo. Other graphic, image or typographic elements should not appear in that space.
Background contrast
Place the logo on backgrounds that provide excellent, accessible contrast. Here is an example of the type of background where the logo should be placed.
Don’t
Use the logotype without the globe logomark.
Change the font or rearrange the logo.
Recolor, make transparent, or use a low-contrast background. Only use black, white, or grayscale logo variants in cases where the logo appears on a colorful background that would make the full color logo hard to distinguish, in materials made to print exclusively in black and white, or where the logo is included alongside other logos that use one of these color profiles.
Stretch or squash the logo. Always use the original aspect ratio of 3.66 by 1. It is easy to spot a stretched or squashed logo because the globe logomark will appear as an oval, not a perfect circle.
Add additional text to the logo.
Co-branding
The FEWS NET logo is frequently presented alongside one or more partner logos. Leave a minimum of 1/2 inch or 48px of clear visual space between each logo and use unaltered versions of each.
Visual balance
In general, the FEWS NET logo should be displayed at visually equal size and prominence as each of the other partner’s logos. When using partner logos it is important to ensure all logos are of visually equal weight. In general, this means that the logos are about the same height. However, if a logo is particularly small in width, or light in color, the logo may need to be made slightly taller than other logos. Likewise, if a logo is particularly large in width, or dark in color, the logo may need to be made slightly shorter than other logos. A good rule of thumb to follow is that your eye should be drawn to all logos equally and not one in particular when you look at the page.
Make sure to follow all preceding specifications for FEWS NET logo usage when making adjustments to the logo for co-branding.
Partner logos
Quick links
The current list of FEWS NET partners changes frequently. The following logo files are presented for quick reference and are not intended to constitute a formal listing of all FEWS NET partners. Partner logos may also become out of date, so refer to each partner’s brand resources to confirm brand compliance.
Usage
When they are used, partner logos should always appear directly adjacent to the FEWS NET and USAID logos. Partner logos should follow their own organization’s co-branding standards without superseding FEWS NET’s standards.
There are not set brand criteria for when partner logos are used on branded materials. Partner co-branding should be determined by USAID on a case-by-case basis.
Contact us if you have an application question or recommended addition to these standards.
