DESCRIPTION:  The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation promotes excellence in journalism worldwide and invests in the vitality of the U.S. communities where the Knight brothers owned newspapers.

Branding Guidelines

Here are some rules to observe when applying the Knight Foundation logo.

1. Please note that the KF logo includes an imagined white vertical column as part of the K-letter to the left of the blue part. As you integrate the logo into designs please account (i.e. make space) for this.

2. The colors — if you're a designer trying to match them — are

• dark blue / PMS 541 / hex #000066
• orange / PMS 716 / hex #F07B05

If these colors are not compatible with your design, then please consider using the white logo on a darker background.  The orange logo should be used only on a neutral background color such as white.

 

3. When in doubt, please send your design to Communications Director Marc Fest by e-mail for a look-over.
