Logos/Branding
Congratulations on receiving a grant from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
Please remember that you must now acknowledge this funding by including the appropriate Arts Council (ACNI) logo on all promotional materials.
Our logos tell people that public money is supporting your work.
Your work is the best advertisement that public funding is being put to good use, and this is why you should display our logos on your promotional materials.
It is a condition of your grant that you acknowledge the source of your funding.
The Letter of Offer you received from us will tell you which logo(s) to use.
Please read the Arts Council Brand Toolkit before using our logos. The Brand Toolkit will tell you all you need to know about which logo(s) to use and how to use them.
Quick guide on how to acknowledge your grant
There is always more we could all be doing to raise public awareness of the benefits of funding for the arts. For a quick guide on how to acknowledge your grants plus the simple steps you could be taking to raise awareness, please read our Brand Toolkit.
