Option 1. Funding acknowledgement incorporated logos

Third parties contracted or commissioned by firsthealth Limited through MPHN must include a funding acknowledgement in all communications materials. Where space allows, use the following acknowledgement incorporated logos.

 

Important:

  • The logo must always be on a white background and at a size where the text is legible (if text is not legible, please use option two below).

  • The logo must not be distorted or stretched.

  • Reproduction of the logo in different colours is strictly prohibited. 

  • Where co-branding is permitted, other branding/logos must be no larger than the MPHN logo and should be positioned to the right of the MPHN logo. 

Please view brand guidelines here.
