Guidelines for Reproducing the Logo

We are proud to present guidelines and files for reproducing the John Templeton Foundation logo. Our goal is to consistently present the John Templeton Foundation in all forms of communication — from the web through print. We hope that you will use the appropriate file for your communications medium, and that you will contact us if you have a unique need. The logo is a designed and finite relationship of type and image, and should never be changed or altered in any fashion.

Meaning

The logo of the John Templeton Foundation represents our mission to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for scientific discovery on what scientists and philosophers call the 'Big Questions.'

The rare and remarkable chambered nautilus has long captivated scientists, mathematicians, poets, and sailors. Living in the outermost chamber of its calcium house, it creates new and larger rooms, each one exactly 6.3 percent larger than the last. It moves from old to new as it grows, and the symmetry of the nautilus shell is repeated in leaves, seeds, petals, pinecones, and sunflowers - a Fibonacci sequence - and has a growth pattern similar to that of the human embryo. Its mathematically perfect proportion reminds us that growth is part of nature's path, and even as there are profound changes in the world around the chambered nautilus, this "living fossil" of ancient geologic history thrives. Easily changing water and air pressure in its chambers, the nautilus is ever adapting and ever evolving.

The chambered nautilus is the symbol chosen by the John Templeton Foundation. It embraces Sir John's ideas and vision for discovery, for rigorous scientific inquiry, and for innovation, and is emblematic as a window on visible and invisible worlds.

 These two files for the nautilus photo are required for printing with Pantone ink. The files are linked and must stay together. For the TIFF logo formats there are three image sizes. See below.
Image Size
(by width)
Logo files may not be enlarged after being placed or inserted into a document without losing reproduction quality. Files may be reduced.

Because the memory size of a TIFF varies greatly with image size, three different image sizes have been provided. Select the file that is the same size or slightly larger than the desired reproduction size to avoid the memory burden of the larger files.



 1 inch is the minimum size
