Acknowledging AIM support

Congratulations on receiving a grant from AIM!

We ask grant recipients to acknowledge AIM in your communications and, depending on the grant you have received, there may be other specific marketing guidelines you should follow.

If you have any questions at any point during your project, please get in touch with the AIM communications team on [email protected].

AIM logo and usage guidelines

AIM members are welcome to use the AIM logo e.g. on your website to showcase your membership. Grant recipients will be requested to use the AIM logo when acknowledging our support.

We just ask that you follow a few simple rules to ensure the logo always looks its best and the AIM brand is well represented at all times:

  • Minimum size – please don’t use the logo smaller than 55mm width
  • Clear space – please use the circle containing the ‘A’ in our logo at 1/3 of its size to define the clear space
  • Please don’t alter any of the colours in the logo, don’t stretch or squash it, don’t tilt or rotate it
  • Please don’t place the logo on a background which makes any part of the logo difficult to see.

The AIM logo is provided here in full colour with strapline. Please get in touch if you require the logo in an alternative format.
