publicity guidelines - logos

From accessing your grant to accessing your account, we’re here to make sure you have everything you need to continue doing great work.

Logos and Usage Guidelines

The Mass Humanities logo must appear on all publicity materials associated with your funded project. Failure to comply with the following Mass Humanities’ logo usage guidelines could result in future grant ineligibility.

Along with the Mass Humanities logo, publicity materials for your project should also include the logo for either the National Endowment for the Humanities or the Mass Cultural Council. Check your grant award letter to confirm the source of your funds, then go to download NEH logos or download MCC logos

Various formats of the Mass Humanities logo are available to download below.

Clear Zone

Logos should always be clearly separated from other elements, and they should never be placed on backgrounds that compromise legibility. Always include a buffer of space equal to the letters MA to separate the mark from other design elements. These distances are referred to as the “clear zone.”
