1.2 Lock-ups with Rotary

Why the lock-up matters

It creates a consistent visual link between ICC and Rotary, reinforcing credibility, recognition and brand coherence.

Why Rotary's logo is included

It shows ICC's official connection to Rotary International and draws on the trust and global strength of the Rotary brand.

Generic lock-up lock-up

Body copy

Georgia

Intercountry Committees connect clubs and Rotarians in different countries to promote friendship and peace.

Body copy · longer reading content

Open Sans Semi Condensed is used only in the logo and tagline. For now the website keeps it too, moving gradually to Open Sans over time.

Colours

ICC uses the official Rotary International colour palette. Use colours proportionately and with purpose: Royal Blue and Gold lead, background colours support, accents are used sparingly.

The brand CSS

These tokens drive this website

Every colour, font and radius on this site comes from the variables below. The same stylesheet is installed as this site's theme CSS (Branding → Custom CSS), so changing a value there restyles every page. Copy it to build ICC web material that matches.

A world without borders

The master visual connects continents, regions, countries and people in the service of peace. Use it for presentation cover slides, flyer covers and other key materials.
