AIDS isn’t done. It’s evolving. And the world isn’t keeping up. Become a movement that is global, national, local and multi- directional in how it thinks and acts. That changes as the Wrong. Right now, the epidemic is spiking amongst people in societies around the world with the least power, those whose epidemic changes. An organisation that speaks the truth. That will go where others fear. That will amplify the voices that voices the world continually ignores, are stigmatised and people already have. That will push every boundary until it marginalised just because of who they are. If we don’t act fast yields, fuelling a future free from AIDS. – if we don’t act now – more people will be infected and die. It’s as simple as that. Our dynamism is our power. We will bring together a diversity of people and ideas across social and geographic We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to AIDS boundaries.

BRAND ASSETS A burst of energy, ideas and creativity. That’s what Frontline AIDS is – and that’s what our brand reflects and radiates out to the world. All the elements that make up our identity – our logo, typography, colour palette, photography, illustration style and tone of 15 Brand toolkit voice – have been designed to grab attention, 16 Our logo insist that there’s no ignoring us or AIDS. 25 Our symbol 32 Colour Dynamic and powerful, bright and bold, the 37 Typography way we look strikes a balance between the 47 Photography optimistic and the hard-hitting.

And the individual 47 Photography letters themselves have their own quirks, 54 Illustration a nod to the knowledge that we work with individuals and communities with their own unique characteristics. There’s also an equal weighting between the thickness of the letters, and the lines that make up the symbol, but a contrast between the straight lines of the former and the curves of the latter. That says we can do analysis and creativity – both needed if we want to come up with the ideas to end the epidemic. Our symbol is always on the right of the logo, and the text is right-aligned too. Together this gives a sense of Frontline AIDS moving forward, ready to embrace its partners, and tackle the next issue with open arms. (You can find out more about the symbol on page 30.) And by putting everything in black, we have stature and gravitas. All of which adds up to a logo which is loud, Frontline AIDS unapologetic and something to be proud of. Brand guidelines 16
