The Charity Commission has unveiled a new logo and branding, part of the regulator’s
review of its structure and vision.
The new logo, created by design company BANG
signifies a more “in-touch, modern and empowering organisation”, that is “working
at the heart of society.”

Chair of the Charity Commission Geraldine Peacock said: “I’m inspired by the new
logo which, through creative visual imagery, demonstrates our changing values and
culture. The Commission is re-focusing, re-structuring and sharpening up the way
it works and the bold logo illustrates our new way of working.”

In the new logo the crown is removed as are the words “for England and Wales”. The
bold words ‘Charity Commission’ appear in capitals in white on a lime green background.

Commission staff and external stakeholders suggested the need for a more contemporary
image.

The logo hasn’t been met with a welcome from all. Charity legal expert, author and
trainer Sandy Adirondack, writing in her legal update, said: “Yuck. I’ll let you
know when the Charity Commission starts selling the t-shirts… Personally I would
rather have had the Charities Act than a lime green logo.”
