Branding guidelines
Every MRC communication is an opportunity to influence how external audiences see the organisation. To help make the most of this opportunity, our communications should convey the MRC’s values and aims through their visual style and content.
The MRC branding website is a shared resource for MRC scientists and staff. It contains branding guidelines and logos for each of our institutes, units and centres, as well as word, powerpoint and design templates for institutes and units.

MRC colour palette
Warm Gray 10 is our main corporate colour, replacing Pantone 228 (magenta), which has now been phased out, although it is still part of our corporate colour palette. Institutes, units and centres should now use Warm Gray 10 on all materials produced. However, in situations where the use of colour is not possible (for instance, in newspapers) the logo can be used in black.
