Introduction
Dear Habitat partner,
I congratulate you on taking the step to consult the Brand Builder’s Handbook.
This is an invaluable resource for Habitat entities as they communicate Habitat’s
message and build our brand.
At Habitat for Humanity, as at any organization, our brand is one of our most
valuable assets. When people decide to volunteer, donate, advocate and spread
the word about Habitat, it is because they believe in what we do and how we
do it; they trust Habitat’s “brand.” It is our responsibility to be good stewards of
that trust. Everyone is a brand builder, from the people who answer the phones
to the people who assign tasks on the build site. We all contribute to peoples’
perception of Habitat.
Part of building a strong brand means creating a strong, consistent visual identity. This handbook helps us do that. Habitat staff has worked hard to determine
brand style guidelines that give voice to our brand. For instance, the colors of
blue and green were chosen in part because they reflect the colors of the earth,
which communicates both our global ministry and our grassroots nature. Even
these subtle details help us to communicate volumes about who we are as an
organization.
HFHI has tried to make it as easy as possible for you to follow the brand guidelines by providing you with resources such as the BuildBrand Store, in which
you can create your extended logo, already in the correct colors and format,
order customized stationery items and more—see inside this handbook for more
information about these great resources.
I encourage you to follow the guidelines included in this handbook; in doing
so, you will be doing your part to help tell Habitat’s story, build our brand and
strengthen Habitat so that we can help families in need for years to come.
Blessings,
Jonathan Reckford
Chief Executive Officer

About the Habitat logo
Symbol
Legal
Logotype
Habitat for Humanity uplifts people by building decent, affordable housing in
partnership with them. It fosters unity by connecting them through a shared
concern: that far too many people endure sleepless nights in deplorable conditions. Following the teachings of Jesus, Habitat aligns itself with equality and
compassion, with service, tolerance and love.
Habitat for Humanity’s logo incorporates these ideals and reflects the principles
that shape the Habitat movement. In it, human forms stand united in common
purpose, their uplifted arms simultaneously indicating both the celebration of
what we have achieved and the continuation of the work that still needs to be
done. The logo’s rounded edges suggest a search for harmony, the universality of family, and the gentleness of spirit that springs from the heart of Habitat
partners. The roofline represents shelter, to be sure, but also symbolizes the
Habitat mission under which people of all races, ages and religious beliefs come
together for the common good.
The organization’s name itself is prominently featured in the logo, signifying
the two components that fuel Habitat’s mission. By creating decent habitat, we
strengthen humanity, assembling the framework that translates into new lives
and new hope, not only for those who will make a home there, but also for those
whose labor and love embody the very best in people.

Purpose
This standards guide has been created to help protect and nurture the Habitat for
Humanity logo and brand value. It is a structural set of guidelines intended for
anyone who is helping to express the Habitat for Humanity global brand. Without
your help, Habitat for Humanity cannot present itself and its efforts in a clear and
consistent manner.
Table of contents
Maintaining a consistent brand identity is so important, it is listed as one of the
minimum requirements in the U.S. Affiliation Agreement and as a requirement
of all campus chapters. We appreciate all the efforts you make to follow these
standards and maintain a consistent visual identity, and we look forward to
working with you to help to present a cohesive voice for Habitat for Humanity.

The body is a unit, though it is made up
of many parts; and though all its parts
are many, they form one body.
—1 Corinthians 12:12
As an organization, Habitat for Humanity
has been blessed with a clear mission,
dedicated partners and a well-established
name. A consistent, common logo
enhances our brand, which already helps
“pave the way” as we communicate who
we are and what we do.
—Chris Clarke, senior vice president,
Marketing and Communications,
Habitat for Humanity International
1.0
Logo and usage
The following section outlines the framework and proper
usage of the Habitat for Humanity logo for all entities
within the organization. The consistent use of the elements
of communications, including our logo and all trademarks,
helps ensure the strength, stability and recognition of the
Habitat for Humanity brand worldwide.
Humanity—striving to provide simple, decent, affordable
houses in partnership with those who lack adequate shelter.
Together the elements of the brand convey a sense of the
organization’s quality and increase public awareness of its
mission and achievements.
The HFH logo, with its colors and stylized figures supporting one another, expresses the spirit of Habitat for

1.1 Extended logos­—The affiliate, campus chapter, state
support organizations and national logos are authorized
extensions of the global logo and can be used by the
Habitat organization for which it is most appropriate. These
extended logos include possible upper and lower signature
lines for customized identification in order to accommodate
each affiliated partner’s full, legally registered name. The
extended version of the trademarked logo is to be used
exclusively as the visual identity of an HFH affiliated entity.
The arrangement order of the logo elements, as well as
proportions, may never be altered.
Note: Habitat’s affiliated organizations may use their
extended logos at their own discretion, in accordance with the policies and practices outlined in the
U.S. Affiliated Organization Agreement. The use of
the global logo—that is, the Habitat logo which does
not specify an affiliated organization’s name—is
reserved for use by HFHI and should not be used
by affiliated partners without expressed permission
from HFHI. Questions about this should be directed
to marketing@habitat.org.

2.2 Proper color usage
Two colors—When using the Habitat for Humanity logo in
two colors, Habitat Blue and Habitat Green must be used
(see Chapter 3.2). No other two-color configuration is
acceptable.
One color—When using the Habitat for Humanity logo in
one color, it may only be used in one of the three MASTER
colors (see Chapter 3.2) and configurations shown above.
White can be used if the logo appears on a solid color
background.
Habitat Green is also an acceptable one-color treatment but
should be used sparingly, as the light green loses visual
impact and readability.

Program identifiers
The Women Build identifier is the only identifier that may be customized
Customized Name
Customized Name
2.5 Graphic identifiers—Habitat for Humanity only has one
logo. When a program has a graphic element that is used to
represent it, this is referred to as a program identifier.
Since 2005, program identifiers have been used sparingly
within Habitat. This is to ensure that the Habitat logo remains the most prominent graphic symbol to represent the
organization. HFHI currently uses only four program identifiers; these were chosen because of the brand equity of the
identifiers, the significant external audience of the programs
and the long history of the programs with Habitat. These four
programs are:
• Church Relations
• Global Village
• Women Build
• Youth Programs
As a general rule these program identifiers are always
presented in a “logo lock-up” format with the Habitat logo.
Habitat for Humanity
Customized Name
This reinforces that these are Habitat programs. The exception to this rule is in the case of a manual cover or brochure
in which the logo appears in the upper left corner and the
program identifier appears in the lower right.
Distribution of these program identifiers is at the discretion
of each program’s administrators.
To request permission to use the Church Relations identifier,
send an e-mail to globalfaithengagement@habitat.org.
To request permission to use the Global Village or Youth
Programs identifiers, send an e-mail to
volunteermobilization@habitat.org.
To request permission to use the Women Build identifier,
send an e-mail to womenbuild@habitat.org.

ReStore identifiers—Another identifier used by Habitat
affiliates is the ReStore identifier. The ReStore identifier can

The ReStore identifier should always appear along with the
Habitat for Humanity logo, as shown above.

2.6 Type treatments—Many affiliated organizations wish
to commemorate milestone events and anniversaries.
These are momentous occasions, and should be celebrated!
To help you celebrate and spread the word, we have provided some guidelines for how to communicate these visually.
Special events and campaigns provide excellent opportunities to raise awareness for your affiliate or campus chapter
and increase recognition of your brand. For this reason,
your brand should always be the primary focus of any
event or campaign identifier.
Habitat for Humanity
HFHI recommends using your extended logo along with a
type treatment that highlights your milestone, anniversary
or campaign theme.
As illustrated above, the text of the type treatment must be
in Minion Regular and the color of the text is Habitat Blue
(see Chapter 3.2 for color codes).

Examples of secondary graphic elements used during a special event.
Event shirt had secondary graphic on the front of the shirt and the Habitat
logo/event identifier lock-up on the back.
Event backdrop banner has secondary graphic below to the Habitat logo/

Event house sign had

the top and added
graphics below that
did not intrude into
the logo area.
Unique shapes that capture the
spirit of the location were used to
create this archway to the event
while leaving space within to put
the Habitat logo.
2.7 Secondary graphic elements—In some cases, the
use of standard graphic design elements may be used.
These are designs that are used on the stationery, apparel,
marketing materials or other items that are connected with
a specific event, milestone or campaign. Any secondary
graphic elements are to be clearly separate and apart from
the logo. Guidelines of clear space (see Chapter 2.3) and all
other guidelines should be followed. Graphics should never
be added to the logo, nor should they look like they are in
conjunction with the logo.

Design basics
3.1 Font guidelines—Typography is an integral part of our
visual identity. To ensure that the brand grows and reaches
its full potential, it is essential that all communications have
a consistent look and appearance; this includes font choice.
The fonts listed in this handbook were chosen to complement the logo and communicate attributes of Habitat for
Humanity. The serif font, in its grace and warmth, communicates the human side of Habitat, the sans serif font the
practical side of our work.
Habitat for Humanity
When choosing these fonts, we also took into consideration
universal usability and compatibility with both Macintosh
and Windows operating systems.
Note: The font used in the Habitat logo is not included
in this handbook. To preserve the logo’s distinct
visual identity and prominence in design, this font
is reserved exclusively for use in the Habitat logo
and should not be used in any other application.
Affiliated partners may request logo files from the
BuildBrand Store at My.Habitat.org.

Preferred body copy font—Minion, a serif font, was
chosen for use as the dominant font in Habitat for
Humanity communications. It effectively communicates
the compelling qualities of Habitat for Humanity: concern,
warmth, harmony, gentleness of spirit and compassion. Its
powerful presence is based on graceful forms and wellbalanced proportions.
Minion Regular is the preferred body copy font for printed
pieces. Additionally, it may be used for quotations. Letter
spacing is normal for all text other than headlines.
Headlines are set in oversized Minion Regular with tight
letter spacing, creating visual tension to suggest the energy
in Habitat’s work.
Minion Bold is used for emphasis within text, as opposed
to underlining, and as an in-line subhead.
Alternate body copy font—If Minion is not readily available,
approved alternate fonts may be used. The Palatino font
family is the substitute for Minion.
If Palatino is not available, Times Roman can be the substitute.

I wish to make an earnest call to everyone,
Christians and followers of other religions,
to work together to build a world without
violence, a world that loves life, and grows in
justice and solidarity. God bless all who are
building this home for Habitat for
Humanity.
—Pope John Paul II
at World Youth Day 2002
Over the years, our involvement with Habitat
for Humanity has helped establish our congregation as one that takes the community’s needs
seriously and seeks to meet them in concrete
and practical ways. Persons have sought us out
as they search spiritually;
others as they look for a church home.

...Habitat is a Christian ministry dedicated to
improving the lives of people everywhere.
—Bishop T.D. Jakes
The Potter’s House, Dallas, Texas
You don’t do outreach as an investment, but it
just works out that way. A Habitat partnership
is definitely a two-way street, but there are multiple lanes coming back into church life.

General questions
How can our affiliate apply to receive the Softwood Lumber grant?
Download a copy of the Softwood Lumber Grant Agreement from the U.S. Grants
site on PartnerNet BETA (under the Funding and Support tab). Submit this agreement electronically to softwoodlumber@habitat.org.
Once we submit our application (grant agreement), how long does it
take for our affiliate to be approved to participate in the grant program?
Will we be notified that we have been approved?
When you submit your application to softwoodlumber@habitat.org, we import
your information into our database and confirm your affiliate’s eligibility to receive
HFHI funds. You should receive e-mail notification of your affiliate’s approval
within 10 days.
11”
How much funding should we expect to receive?
Affiliates receive reimbursement for all qualifying lumber invoices. Depending on
an affiliate’s method of construction, grants have ranged from $1,500 to $8,500 per
house, but they are not limited to this amount.
8.5”
Why can’t we receive the grant money before we build the house,
so we can use the funds to purchase what we need?
Receipts for lumber purchases are necessary so that in an audit we can demonstrate
that the funds were used to purchase lumber as intended.
What are our chances of receiving this grant?
Excellent. At the initial stage of this grant, every U.S. affiliate that is in compliance with Habitat’s basic tenets can receive reimbursement for qualifying lumber
purchases.

another
milestone
Annual report
We don’t serve a timber-reliant area. May we still apply for funds?
Yes. Although funding will become restricted to “timber-reliant” states and disaster
recovery later on, at its launch the Softwood Lumber program will allow affiliates
in all 50 states to apply for reimbursement.
GREGG PACHKOWSKI

How long will this program last?
The program will continue until all of the funding has been distributed. Program
administrators estimate the duration will be about three years.
Are there any sponsor-recognition requirements?
No.

Appendix A
HFHI policy for use of the HFH trademark (logo)
Effective date: June 2, 2005 [Updated: 1/12/2009]
Owned by: Partner Resources/Marketing and Communications Division HFHI
Approved by: HFHI Chief Executive Officer
Introduction/purpose
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) has officially registered a trademark (the “Mark”) with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). As depicted in section A, HFHI now employs
monolithic brand architecture with authorized brand extensions to the global trademark for affiliate,
state support organization (SSO), campus chapter and national organization trademarks and designated partner trademarks.
The purpose of this policy is to document HFHI’s policies for use of the Mark by all global entities
of HFHI, i.e., headquarters, area and regional offices; affiliates; state support organizations; campus
chapters; national offices; designated partners; and authorized vendors.
In order to protect our trademark rights, use of the global Mark will be strictly controlled by HFHI
headquarters, but our affiliates, state support organizations, national offices, campus chapters and
designated partners may freely use the appropriate extended brand Mark as long as that use complies with HFHI stated policies.
While Habitat for Humanity is an organization known for individuality, its branding efforts need to
promote unity in appearance, look and feel.
To do otherwise diminishes one of the strongest brands in the non-profit sector.
Applicability
This policy applies to all HFHI departments and staff members, U.S. and international affiliates, state
support organizations, national offices and campus chapters. The trademark guidance applies to all
designated partners and commercial vendors who desire to use the HFH Mark.
Terms
• Global Trademark (Mark)—The symbol and words registered with the USPTO for exclusive use by
HFHI. Also referred to as the “logo.”
• Affiliate/SSO/campus chapter Trademark—The extension symbol and words (customizable to the
affiliate or SSO) assigned for use by a particular affiliate, SSO or campus chapter.
• Partner Trademark (by partner level)— The extension symbol and words (customizable as to the
level and/or type of partnership) authorized for use by a designated partner (corporation, foundation, organization or institution) per guidance provided by HFHI Resource Development.
• Authorized Vendor—A vendor so designated by HFHI that has certified compliance with the HFH
Brand Builder’s Handbook and has demonstrated a high degree of quality and services in past
relationships with HFHI.

Responsibilities
• The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications is responsible for all policies and
procedures involving use of the HFHI Mark, unless otherwise provided by the CEO or International
Board of Directors.
• The Trademark Oversight Group (the “Oversight Group”) is responsible for reviewing all questions
and requests regarding use of the Mark and referring policy and use recommendations to the
Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications. The Oversight Group membership consists of the HFHI Art Director and Brand and Partner Resources Manager and representatives from
Corporate Programs, General Counsel and the Development Communications and Brand Strategy
and Special Initiatives units. Other representatives may be appointed to the Oversight Group as
determined by senior management or the International Board of Directors.
• HFHI staff members will ensure that the Mark is used only in compliance with the standards outlined in this document. Report possible instances of misuse to the Trademark Oversight Group via
e-mail to marketing@habitat.org.
• The Brand and Partner Resources Manager oversees all activities related to licensing of the HFH
Mark for commercial purposes.
• The Art Director oversees all quality standards related to use of the Mark.
• The General Counsel renders legal guidance relative to the use of the Mark.
• The Senior Vice President of Resource Development and representatives from the Development
Communications unit oversee all certification of HFHI partnerships (corporations, foundations,
organizations and institutions) and publishes policies relating to their privileges associated with
use of the partner Marks, i.e., privileges accorded to the various partnership levels.
Ownership of mark
The Mark is the property of HFHI. All Habitat for Humanity entities and authorized users must agree
that they will do nothing inconsistent with such ownership and that all use of the Mark by authorized
activities shall be to the benefit of and be on behalf of the Habitat for Humanity mission.
Authorized users must formally agree via contract or statement to use the Mark in accordance with
this policy document. Only HFHI may approve use of the global Mark.
Quality standards
See section A for the Brand Builder’s Handbook. The Mark may be used on printed materials, signage,
Internet sites, apparel, merchandise and promotional items. HFHI Marks are intended to present a
positive image of Habitat for Humanity and may not be altered except in the prescribed way (See
section A). The Mark may not be used in the name of a business or logo, in promoting services or on a
product in a way that could state or imply an endorsement by HFHI.
The Mark may not be used in any way that discriminates or implies discrimination against any persons or groups based on age, ancestry, belief, color, creed, disability, national origin, race, religion,
sex, sexual orientation or veteran status, or in any other way that would be a violation of the HFHI
anti-discrimination policies.
The use of the Mark with the following types of products normally will not be approved:
• firearms or other products designed to be used to injure or kill;
• alcohol-related products;
• tobacco-related products;

• sexually suggestive products;
• food and beverage products and accompanying packaging (other than for limited internal consumption in connection with official HFH events);
• products that present an unacceptable risk of liability;
• products that are inimical to the mission or image of the HFHI.
Standards for use
HFHI (Departments and/or Programs). All use of the Global Mark (See section A) must be coordinated
with the Trademark Oversight Group and approved by the Senior Vice President of Marketing and
Communications. This includes placement of the Mark on printed materials, signage, Internet pages,
apparel, merchandise and promotional items.
Affiliates, SSOs and campus chapters may use the appropriate Mark, and it must be used in total
compliance with this policy. Misuse of the Mark may result in sanctions against the organization.
Designated Partners. The HFHI Resource Development Division certifies designation of corporations/
organizations/foundations/institutions at various partnership levels. Only HFHI-certified partners may
use the Global Partner Mark, and it must be used in total compliance with this policy. Affiliates and
SSO may set local policies for designation of partners/sponsors and use of the affiliate/SSO partner
Mark, provided these local policies are consistent with the HFHI policy.
Vendors. All use of the Global Partner Mark by a vendor for commercial purposes must be preapproved by the Brand and Partner Resources Manager. Vendors will be required to formalize an agreement with HFHI for each use of the Global Partner Mark.
Business Documents. As part of a comprehensive branding program, HFHI has created a template
process for the creation of certain business documents, e.g., letterhead, business cards, envelopes,
etc. HFHI departments, affiliates, SSO, campus chapters and other related entities must use these
templates as part of their acceptance and implementation of the new logo.
Authorized vendor program
HFHI will recognize Authorized Vendors to designate a limited number of vendors who have contracted with HFHI to fully comply with the HFH Brand Builder’s Handbook and who have demonstrated a
high degree of quality and service in past relationships with HFHI.
HFHI departments must use an authorized vendor and coordinate their order through the Brand and
Partner Resources Manager whenever ordering HFH global mark-branded merchandise for special
events or program related activities, e.g., the Carter Project, Women Build, Youth Programs, etc.
Affiliates, SSO, campus chapters and designated partners are not required
to use an HFHI Authorized Vendor. However, they should use the sample
local vendor agreement provided at Appendix B. Authorized vendors are
identified by the following mark:
