2 BEING WHO WE ARE IS UP TO US. An important strategic component of the HFMA brand is our corporate logo, and the purpose of this document is to help promote consistent application of the logo and visual standards. These guidelines create a framework to ensure consistency across the channels which make up HFMA s organizational identity; in other words, our brand. These guidelines contain the basic information necessary for maintaining a consistent visual style for the Association s chapters, and its affiliates. The look of HFMA is a reflection of our principles and commitment to the healthcare financial management profession.

3 Our Logo The logo consists of the HFMA logo mark and the chapter or region name. LOGO For all usages. Space to shine. Whether applying the logo to print applications or new media, space around the logo will help maintain integrity and legibility. The clear space gives the logo importance in situations where it exists among other graphic elements. It is important to be conscious of the amount of space and to keep it clear of other elements. LOGO SAFE SPACE When using any version of the logo, make sure that there is at least space equivalent to the height of one h in hfma, on all sides of the logo. Do not allow type or imagery to exist inside of this space. Not too small, please. The logo will be used in a variety of applications: banners, brochures, websites, social media (see page 8), etc. Adequate sizing is critical to maintain legibility. 1 /3 INCH, or 50 PIXELS LOGO MINIMUM SIZE Do not reduce the size of the logo smaller than the above examples.

7 Typography Nobel Lite Regular Lite Italic Regular Italic Book Bold Book Italic Bold Italic The letters shape matters. Typography is a major asset to any identity and branding initiative. HFMA uses two typefaces, Nobel and Filosofia, which work well with each other yet have different functions. Nobel is a strong sans-serif typeface that has four weights that are included in our identity: Light, Book, Regular, and Bold. This family of typefaces should be used for all typography. Filosophia is reserved for HFMA sub-brand logos. Its usage outside of that function dilutes the brand identity. It is not to be used outside of corporate communications. Licensing Font usage is controlled via licensing. If the Nobel font is not available, Arial or Helvetica may be substituted. Filosophia The Filosophia font is reserved for HFMA sub-brand logos.
