HCPA branding DON’TS “‚”‚X
Stretched HCPA logo
This is the most common misuse of our branding.
When resizing our logo for whatever purpose, please remember to hold the ‘shift’ key to maintain the logos proportions. If the logo ends up too small to read the ‘Hertfordshire Care Providers Association’ tagline, please use the appropriate logo specified above.
Old HCPA logo
Use of our old logo (before 2015) must be updated to the modern version of the logo.
Small HCPA logo
Ensure that the tagline ‘Hertfordshire Care Providers Association’ is legible in all scenarios when resizing.
Use the suitable downloadable logo above when it is intended to be smaller than 200px wide on screen.
White background HCPA logo
Incorrectly placing our logo in the wrong format on a coloured background can often cause a white box behind the logo.
This is caused when the logo is saved as a .JPG which has no transparency, so use the appropriate .PNG above.
HCPA logo on similar coloured background
Contrary to the logo being in the correct format, placing our logo on a grey or blue background may cause parts of the logo to become less visible.
This can be fixed by using the white version of the HCPA logo, or placing it on top of a different colour.
HCPA logo with effects
Please do not alter or amend the logo in anyway shape or form.
This includes altering the colour, brightness, saturation and includes adding effects, or drop shadows.

Stop Falls Campaign
Stopfalls Campaign
Stop falls Campaign
We use autumnal colours for this campaign to represent the play on words with the season ‘fall’. This was also the season the campaign was launched in 2017. However, in spring of 2020 StopFalls Campaign became ‘StopFalls’ and it was converted to a service.
Red is the main colour of this service as it is a warning colour, this coincides with the hexagonal branding and was inspired by the recognisable health and safety ‘STOP’ sign.
