Our branding

In this section, you will find a summary of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Birmingham brand guidelines and assets to use in your work.

If you have any query concerning our BRC branding, please contact the BRC core team.

Please note our branding has changed following a brand refresh rolled out by NIHR in spring 2026.

• Our BRC should now be referred to as ‘National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre: Birmingham’, instead of ‘NIHR Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre’.
  For more detailed guidance on how to acknowledge the BRC in publications and other materials, please see the ‘Acknowledging the BRC’ page.
• Our BRC PowerPoint template (link opens download) ensures consistency across our presentations
• Our new logo displays the NIHR acronym, with “Biomedical Research Centre” next to it.
  A text descriptor ‘NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Birmingham’ to designate our specific BRC may be added below the main logo.
  Never stretch, manipulate or change the colour of our logo.
  • For digital use on light backgrounds – colour
  • For digital use on dark backgrounds – white
• Our official font is Inclusive Sans. If not available on your device, you can download it free from Google Fonts.
