Our Top 10 Fave Charity Logos

One brilliant tool for a successful charity is an eye-catching logo. A successful logo embeds itself in your mind, so you automatically think of that logo whenever you think of a certain charity. Here’s our top ten effective charity logos.

10. Abbeyfield.  As the number of people over 85 is set to treble in the next 50 years, the need for provision for them is set to grow. Abbeyfield provides a network of care homes for vulnerable elderly people. The logo is simple but efficient, the figures formed by the f and the I reaching towards each other in a gesture of friendship and support.

9. Oxfordshire Playbus. This charity promotes positive play activities for children across Oxfordshire, including special sensory facilities for disabled children. The bright colours and cartoonish style of the logo really help to symbolise the sense of fun that they want to bring to children’s lives.

 

8. Canterbury Horse Rescue. They have 23 pastures and 19 stables, rescuing horses as well as providing opportunities for young people to gain an NVQ.  The logo is simple but heartwarming, showing an older horse protecting a foal. That nurturing, caring atmosphere is given out by the picture, as well as showing how happy and healthy the horses are.

7. About With Friends.  This charity has one programme for users aged 14-19 and one for users aged 19 and up. It is a social charity for people with learning difficulties to participate in a range of activities. This is summed up in the logo by the line of figures holding hands, including a wheelchair user, showing the inclusive nature of the charity.

 

6. CARA. This is an independent international charity in the health sector, focusing on HIV/AIDS, but also providing services in sanitation, education, and empowerment for people in Africa. The logo symbolises this by using the AIDS red ribbon as a centrepiece, held up by a pair of hands.

5. Watchtree Wheelers. This charity operates tours around their nature reserve on their fleet of cycles which are specially adapted for disabled people.  The use of the figure in the wheelchair in their logo, along with the slogan ‘Wheels for All’ emphasises the inclusive nature of this charity, as well as the sense of movement.

4. Mat-To-Fore. This is a Christian charity working in Ghana. They are aiming to build a school, orphanage, and retreat centre for young people in the community of Kotei. The name of the charity comes from the idea of lifting somebody up to the forefront of life, and the illustration of one figure being lifted up by another on the logo really focuses on that, and the bright colours also make it really positive.

3. Jamie’s Farm. This provides a really positive retreat for disadvantaged inner-city children, giving them a combination of ‘farming, family and therapy.’ It has reported successful rates in reducing behavioural problems in children after they visit the farm. The logo is compiled of bright, positive colours, showing the positivity of the charity, and the group of children in it are holding hands, showing improved skills in social interaction.

2. Book Aid.  They have sent more than 30 million books to partner libraries since 1954, increasing literacy in sub-Safaran Africa. The logo shows one hand passing a book to another, summing up what the charity is essentially about in one small image.

1. Marie Curie Cancer Care. When you think of this charity, one automatically thinks of the iconic upcoming Great Daffodil Appeal, and that’s shown by the daffodil in the logo as well as the bright, sunny yellow font.
