Guidelines on National Grid Names & Logos

We appreciate your cooperation and support of the New Identity System for the National Grid. A consistent and clearly defined identity of high quality creates an equally high quality image of the National Grid to the community at large. Your support of this system will contribute to its success. These pages are a guide for consistent and appropriate use of National Grid identity elements.

The National Grid names and logos are owned by the National Grid Office. They may not be incorporated into any other design to create a new symbol and are not to be treated as illustrations. They may not be electronically or manually altered, stretched, outlined, given drop shadows or enclosed in shapes that appear to be a part of the symbol identity.
