Our Logo Our logo establishes our presence in all communications. It is a symbol that MUST be present in all partner agency communications. Consistent use of the logo makes the JFMD brand more recognizable and strengthens Federation’s relevance to the community. Making our mark The core elements of our logo are the mark and the Jewish Federation logotype. The Federation mark is visually powerful and deeply rooted in Jewish tradition The “umbrella” arcs (the rainbow) symbolize Federation as our community safety net The flame symbolizes our history and Jewish heritage. It guides the eye upward, providing a sense of aspiration and optimism. The menorah – with its clean, contemporary lines – suggests innovation and anchors our visual identity clearly in Jewish tradition. Color: The use of two variations of blue, which is viewed as a traditional Jewish color, is both optimistic and approachable. The mark itself may be used on its own as a graphic element to support the overall branded message as long as the whole logo is present as well. NEVER use it as a replacement for the full logo in your communications Our logo is the cornerstone of our brand and must appear in all external communications by our partner agencies. Just as the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and its partner agencies work together to serve the community, so should our logos appear together in your key communications to the community. Co-branding builds brand equity and communicates the relationship between the Federation and its partner agencies. When to use the “Supported by” Federation Partner Logo The Federation Partnership/Agency logo is the logo that should should be used on all of your branded materials.

Color and Typeface Color: the full-color logo has two distinct blue colors chosen for their traditional Jewish association. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors for printing on coated paper stock are lighter blue PMS 2995C and darker blue PMS 302C. For printing on uncoated stock the PMS colors and 306U and 302U. Use the two-color logo when prints with two or more colors and online. When used on a dark background, white is preferable. The all-black and all-white knock-out versions are permitted, but should be used only when no other option is available. Minimum Size and “Clear” Space Size: To retain legibility, the logo should be at least 2 inches wide or 144 pixels online. “Clear space” is the width of the center flame in the logo. When space is limited, the center logo should be used, but never smaller than .75 inches wide (or 225 pixels with your monitor set at a resolution of 300DPI).
