Using CIHR's leaf identifier

Here is CIHR's visual identifier which consists of a leaf and a bilingual wordmark. Recently modernized, it was developed in 2000 as a recognizable symbol of excellence, innovation and collaboration in research. CIHR has official guidelines for the use of its visual identifier for any visual communication.

Please familiarize yourself with and follow these guidelines. You may download and use the logo only for the purpose of visually acknowledging CIHR's contributions to your project. To download, right-click desired format and select Save Target As…

The preferred use of the visual identifiers is the full-colour portrait version. However, reverse-white and black-only versions are also available. They appear in their correct form below:

CIHR's leaf identifier - full-colour
CIHR's leaf identifier - full-colour portrait version
CIHR's leaf identifier - white and black
CIHR's leaf identifier - white and black portrait version
