Take a look at our evolved brand
We’re refreshing and evolving elements of the NIHR brand in 2026.
The incoming brand evolution will help us to increase awareness of NIHR among our key audiences and position our core themes of impact, inclusion, investment and innovation at the centre of everything we do.
Whatever information you’re sharing, elements of our brand can now be more easily dialled up or down to suit the needs of your audience, while still looking and sounding like NIHR.
Read more about the changes in our brand refresh article and frequently asked questions webpage.
Our logo, colours, font and photography guidelines for NIHR staff, researchers, funding partners and creative suppliers.
How our brand is structured, described and used across core NIHR brand, schemes and services, sub-brands, acknowledgements and partnership brands.
A round-up of responsibilities and further information for research infrastructure, schools or unit communication staff.
Our support page explaining the expectations of researchers and specific guidance tailored to different types of funding.
Merchandise
Merchandise
We no longer create or commission NIHR-branded merchandise (e.g. pens, tote bags, branded notebooks and similar) following direction from the Department of Health and Social Care. Posters, banners and physical conference backdrops can still be developed but must now feature only the core NIHR brand and not a scheme, sub-logo or programme name.
More policy information can be found in the Being a Comms Lead section.
