In 2017 we introduced our new corporate identity. This consists of a new logo, a new selection of typefaces, an expanded colour palette and strap line. The goal of the redesign is to clearly communicate what we do at the Finchley Charities.
The identity is be to rolled out across all platforms of communication so that the end user is clear that they are on Charity property or conversing with The Finchley Charities.
This publication acts as both an introduction to the design assets and as reference guide to how they assets should be correctly and consistently deployed.
