Using the JLA logo

Here are some guidelines for the use of the James Lind Alliance (JLA) logo.

If you are an approved Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) working with a JLA Adviser, you can use our logo on:

  • your own websites
  • social media
  • in materials associated with the PSP, such as surveys, presentations, reports.

Our logo must never be re-created and should be used as provided. To request a file of our logo, please email the JLA Coordinating Team. Variations of our logo are also available.

The JLA logo

Our logo is made up of a red stacked James Lind Alliance wordmark and a red icon, on a white background. Our logo reflects the history of James Lind.

Logo Variations

The alternative version of the JLA logo inverts our signature white and red colour palette. The logo is made up of a white stacked James Lind Alliance wordmark and a white icon, on a red background. This variation of the logo can be used if the primary logo does not stand out clearly. It is important to ensure that there is enough colour contrast between the logo and the asset it is placed on.

Both versions of the logo are also available with transparent backgrounds upon request.

How to use the JLA logo

Logo sizing

Our logo should be used as provided and must never be altered in any way. Please do not scale the logo disproportionately, or re-size individual elements featured in our logo e.g. shrinking or enlarging the wordmark.

Logo colours

The colours featured in the JLA Logo are the following:

JLA Red

R 182 / G 30 / B 55

C 20 / M 98 / Y 71 / K 11

White

R 255 / G 255 / B 255

C 0 / M 0 / Y 0 / K 0

Please do not change the colour of any of the elements featured in our logo.

Logo Positioning

The JLA logo should be positioned top-left and partner logos should be positioned with equal weighting across the bottom (or where suitable). If it is not possible for the JLA logo to appear top-left, it can appear alongside other funding/supporting partners at the bottom.

To ensure our logo remains clear, an 8.5mm exclusion zone should surround the JLA logo. The exclusion zone is the area around the logotype that should always be kept clear, and no other graphic or typography should appear in this area.

Request the JLA Logo

To request our logo, please email the JLA Coordinating Team. You can also email us if you have any questions or are not sure how to use the JLA logo.  

Relationship statement 

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funds the infrastructure of the James Lind Alliance (JLA) to oversee the processes for Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs). PSPs aim to help patients, carers and clinicians work together to agree which are the most important evidence uncertainties affecting their particular interest, in order to influence the prioritisation of future research in that area.
