act. Everything we do is driven by

compassion, respect, inclusion, diversity,

It begins our name for a reason. Our

efforts revolve around the community.

It’s in our staff, teamwork, collaboration

with partners, engagement, and our

integrated approach.

Like the communities

we serve, we are

determined and

resolute. We exceed

challenges to get the

job done.

Passion

We are hopeful and

optimistic. We channel our

frustration at injustice and

inequity into action to make

positive things happen.

We are ready to respond at a moment’s

notice and scale rapidly. We support

communities to be prepared for the

future and help them pave a road to

long-term recovery.

2024 CORE

BRAND GUIDE


OUR VOICE

Be inspiring.

When we engage our

supporters, we want

them to feel what we feel

when we hear about the

impact of our efforts.

The passion that fuels

CORE’s work should

shine through and leave

others filled with hope

and optimism.

Be empowering.

Empowerment is at the

heart of our brand. We

are not saviors. We are

supporters of resilience.

We are proud of our work,

and we prefer to let it

speak for itself, without

hyperbole. Save the hot

air. (We don’t need any

more global warming)

Be grateful.

Our work would not

be possible without

our staff, volunteers,

supporters, and

partners. We

acknowledge this

wherever we can

and are sincere in

our gratitude.

Keep it simple.

Access is just as important

to CORE’s work as it is to

the words we use. We steer

clear of hyperbole and make

sure information is accurate

and approachable. We are

direct, lead with what’s

most important, and avoid

confusing and distracting

jargon. Brief is better.

OUR TONE

The conditions surrounding our work are often devastating. We like to be positive and optimistic

as much as possible and convey hope. Our tone varies slightly depending on the medium, but it is

always driven by empathy. Write as if everyone is in the room. We are considerate and respectful of

the communities we serve and our partners and mindful of the imagery we use and how we speak

around it. On social, we keep it professional and to the point. Above all, we keep it authentic and

avoid gimmicky language.

BRAND ICON

Infinity sign

0.5

The infinity sign represents something that

is unlimited and endless. This is a sacred

0. 5

geometric symbol found in three fields:

the mathematical, the physical, and the

metaphysical. It represents infinitude, core,

harmony, balance, regeneration, and eternity.

Our brand expresses the infinity dynamic

by merging C+O. CORE’s infinity symbol

0.5

represents our values and DNA. We help

communities to regenerate, restore balance,

0. 5

and we operate in an infinite movement in

order to transform lives.

tough, emotional moments

Photography is an integral part of our brand. You’ll see

beautiful photos of smiling people in everything we do

because even through tough times, we highlight hope,

happiness, and resilience.

We portray the communities we serve with dignity. And

anytime we show photos of harsh reality, we pair it with

explanations of what others can do to help. We want

to inspire everyone who interacts with our brand to

feel hopeful and motivated to take action. Our imagery

represents empathy, resilience, and possibility.

BRAND GUIDE


SOCIAL TONE

Our social media is meant to educate our followers about our global operations in an engaging and personable way,

often by highlighting the incredible stories of those we support.

Much like our brand voice, our social voice balances a professional and personal tone. Our job is to inform our followers

about our efforts and the situations surrounding them. While confronting the realities of the crisis at hand, we want to

give people hope that help is on the way and being administered in a positive way.

Be a storyteller.

We are only as strong as

the people we work with

and those we help. Their

stories drive our mission

and who we are. We want

to share and celebrate

those stories.

Be passionate.

We are proud of our work

and want our followers

to be proud to support

us. We want them to feel

the passion behind our

mission. Our captions

should capture the

inspiration that motivates

our teams on the ground

every day.

Be “likeable.”

While our work centers

around crises, we want

our messaging to focus

on our efforts to make

an impact by providing

immediate relief and

long-term support.

Be direct.

Captions should be brief.

It’s already hard enough

to keep people’s attention,

so we try to keep our copy

short and to the point.

Take out all unnecessary

words wherever possible.
