Design Programme V1.1
The Design Programme V1.1
Made by XR for XR -- fonts, logos, colours, woodblock images, icons
The Design Programme describes and explains the XR Branding - how and why to use it.
The full (10mb PD) document is available on the UK Cloud at https://cloud.extinctionrebellion.org.uk/f/52863
File & Image Formats
Many of the images are available as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files. Converting them to PNG or JPEG takes some expertise. If you would like a particular image as a PNG or JPEG at a particular resolution and colour, please ask on Mattermost in the Rebel Toolkit Reception channel or one of the Arts channels. If you need one or two, we can make them for you. If you need more than that, we can teach you how to convert them yourself.
Quick Reference
Here are a few Pages to whet your appetite and links to quick downloads if you already know what your looking for.

Colours
We have a standard set of colours for our publications, which are documented in the Design Programme, which is available on the Cloud (accessible via the Hub) by searching for "Design Programme". As it is a large PDF, here is a light-weight summary of the colour scheme. As a convenience to web authors, this page also has the hex values of the colours. If you need CMYK or PMS codes, they are in the original document, which is also the place to go for the full guidance.
Main colours
When you see the logo it’s often black on green, but it can also sit on the other backgrounds.
| Colour | Code | Sample | Colour | Code | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green: | #14aa37 |
Black: | #000000 |
Bright colours
Our colours symbolise the intersectional nature of XR. The colours can and should be mixed together to create bold and bright graphics.
| Colour | Code | Sample | Colour | Code | Sample |

Light blue: | #75d0f1 |

Design toolkit for COP26
Design toolkit version 8 is out with the updated messaging for COP. Trying to bring together both the key message of us challenging our leaders to make COP26 possible and the interconnectedness of the impacts of our decisions on the planet.
It has a new impossible font, a new colour palette, swirly textures and introduces Camille the COP26 chameleon.
A PDF copy (3Mb) has been posted to the Mattermost channel "UK Creative Circle - Arts Reception" in the UK Team, or ask for more information using the contact details in the header to that channel.
