Talking about Impact on Urban Health

Talk about our brand using our boilerplate:

The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are. Urban areas, like inner-city London, have some of the most extreme health outcomes. Alongside their vibrancy and diversity sit stark health inequalities.

At Impact on Urban Health, we want to change this. We believe that we can remove obstacles to good health, by making urban areas healthier places for everyone to live.

The London Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark are our home. They are some of the most diverse areas in the world. It is here that we invest, test, and build our understanding of how cities can be shaped to support better health. We’re focused on a few complex health issues that disproportionately impact people living in cities, and we work with local, national and international organisations, groups and individuals to tackle these.

Our place is like so many others. So we share our insight, evidence and practical learning to improve health in cities around the world.

Impact on Urban Health is a part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation.

Logos

Our primary logo is a black wordmark on a white background. This is the main way our brand should be presented.

In circumstances where the black text will not pass accessibility, for example a dark report cover, use the white wordmark instead.

When talking about the organisation, you should write our name as it is in our logo: Impact on Urban Health.

Where Impact on Urban Health plays a supporting role in a project or activity, partners can use alternative logos which say ‘supported by’ and ‘in partnership with’.

Colours

The brand colour palette shown here, as well as black and white, should be all you need. Additionally, you can use light teal – which is the same colour as our primary teal at a 50% tint.

Black is the predominant choice for text and headings. You can also use black as a background colour where impact is required. However, white is used as a background page colour and for text that is reversed out from a dark or black background.

Our programme-specific colours are used when designing content for each of these areas of work and are used as accents on other outputs. See our brand guidelines for full details on how to use programme specific colours

Fonts

Our primary font is Graphik. Use this for all communications, internal and external, where possible.

However, if Graphik is unavailable, you can use Jost. Jost is a Google font and is free to download.

Finally, you can use Arial Nova when a default Windows font is required.
