Standard logo
The Synergos logo is the three intersecting circles together with the word "Synergos." Always use the circles and the wordmark together, and always use the provided files. The wordmark uses a proprietary font, so please don't recreate or retype the logo.

| Green (full color) | Default for white or light backgrounds | PNG · SVG |
| White (reversed) | Dark backgrounds and photos | PNG · SVG |
| Black (one color) | Black-and-white printing, partner logo walls | PNG · SVG |
Which file format? PNG works almost everywhere: Word, PowerPoint, email and social media (transparent background). SVG scales to any size without losing quality, so use it for websites, designers and professional printing.

Today, Synergos connects its full global network around the systems that matter most: food systems, education, and wellbeing, along with two defining forces of our time, the rise of AI and the urgent need to strengthen the care economy. Through collaborative communities, members of the Global Philanthropists Circle, social entrepreneurs, and leaders from Synergos' country programs work side by side, bringing local knowledge into global dialogue and carrying new insights and connections back to their own communities. By centering communities, bridging across sectors, and integrating inner and outer change, Synergos works to help build a future that is more just, equitable, and humane.
Synergos Logos
Downloads
- Synergos collections including EMF logos for MS Office applications, EPS logos for professional layout, animated logo for video, and a PowerPoint with logos to copy/paste from in MS Office applications
Guidelines
The Synergos logo is a set of three circles next to the word “Synergos.”
Do not create the logos yourself by drawing circles (in Word or any other program) and adding text - the logos use a particular font (Gotham) that is not on most computers.
Which electronic format?
EMF files are best for use in MS Office programs such as Word and PowerPoint. EPS logos are for desktop publishing software such as InDesign, as well as MS Publisher. They can also be resized in software such as Illustrator. Among the EPS files, those with RGB in the name are for use where the publication will be viewed on screens. CMYK is for documents that will be printed. Black and white EPS files can be used for screen and print documents.
Color
Our logo may be used in alternate colors depending on the document:
- our dark green (CMYK 100%-0%-91%-27%; RGB 54-122-82; web #367A52; Pantone 356) or gray (black 50%) on light colored backgrounds
- gray (black 50%) on light colored backgrounds when the document contains many colors
- white on darker background colors.
Tagline
The Synergos logo is available with and without our tagline “Building trust works.”
Placement
If the logo is placed to the top of a page, it should be toward the top left corner. When placed this way, ideally the circles will “hang” in the left margin and the left edge of the “S” in “Synergos” will be aligned with the left edge of main block of text. When less space is available, align the left edge of the circles with the left edge of the main block of text.
When the logo is placed on the bottom of a page, it can be aligned left, right or centered.
