Brand Imagery
- The logo structure was built on a ratio basis of leaving 3Xs space for the phrase script and 1X space for the crest with ¼ space between each. The rectangular shape of the logo came from the geometrical positioning need.
- Bahar logo should always be surrounded by an area of clear space known as the ‘isolation area’ to ensure no text, images or graphic elements nip up with it. The area of isolation is calculated using a ‘W’ value, ‘W’ being equal to the distance between the typography and the crest. The minimum area of isolation specified is equal to 1 ‘W’ all around Bahar logo as demonstrated below. This is a minimum specification and should be increased wherever possible.
- A minimum size at which Bahar logo may be reproduced has been determined to ensure the logo retains its integrity and legibility at small sizes. The minimum size for reproducing the logo in print has been specified at 40mm wide as demonstrated below.
- Minimum web size 140 px
- Always use the electronic artwork provided, never attempt to redraw or recreate Bahar logo.
- The standard use for the logos is the one with 3 colors including the crest and slogan, however, there are options for the logo as follows: - Blue: all parts in blue on a white background. - Orange: all parts in orange on a white background. - Black: all parts in black on a white background. - White: all parts in one color on a blue or black background.

Brand Values
1.3 Values ### Compassion 2.0 We build our interventions as a response to human despair with the purpose to alleviate pain Our Brand and provide sustainable solutions for local problems. The compassion is the core of humanity and it is assumed as such by our organization since we are first humans and then humanitarians.
Commitment We care for our beneficiaries. Our interventions, although developed in the frame of limited funds due to our local capacity, are aimed at providing long term impact. After project completion, we continue to seek support to operate the infrastructures established. Sometimes, as in the case of many PHC, these are the only medical facilities serving thousands of people in a large geographical area, therefore their operation is vital for the lives of people.
Impartiality We respect all people we work with and for. The beneficiaries are the main motive of our programming. We represent their interests and their voice. As a local organization, we raise their message at the level of UN agencies, donors, partners, and ordinary people to understand their situation and seek to support them. When delivering the aid, we act with respect and kindness as these people already suffered enough. All of us are equal and there is no need to disrespect anyone.
