Charter of use of the visual identity of Inria

Changed on 24/04/2025

Find the different formats of the Inria logo, in addition to the rules governing their use.

Logo: use, formats

The red version is to be the preferred option. The blue-grey and black versions should only be used in situations where the use of colour is not possible (e.g. black and white documents, silkscreen printing, etc.).

 

The Inria logo is used on its own:

  • when mentioned among many partners;
  • in certain cases of internal communication.

The protected area is important : this determines the space in which nothing else should be placed (illustrations, text, graphics or other logos). This corresponds to the height of the letter “n” on the logo.

In order to ensure that the Inria logo is visible, the minimum usage size is a width of 10 mm, or 45 pixels.

 

As Inria is an operator of the French State, Inria is obliged to use the State brand in its communication media when it is the sole issuer and co-issuer.

 

In order to ensure that the brand block is visible, the minimum usage size is a height of 2,5 mm in relation to the Marianne, or 12 pixels.

Restrictions

It is forbidden to:

  1. change the color;
  2. modify the construction;
  3. disregard the protected area;
  4. incline or distort the form;
  5. lock the logotype into a shape;
  6. use a single element;
  7. use the red logotype on a background other than white;
  8. use the logotype on a complex background;
  9. uuse the logotype in line.
