As a Youth Philanthropy Program, it is important to have your own branding that distinguishes your program. Branding is the identity of any organization. Your branding is especially important as you expand and connect with your community. Your branding does not have to be very detailed or use crazy colors. Something as simple as colored text is often enough! The key is being consistent.

Creating Your Own Branding

• Make sure your program use the -Thon format, like DublinThon or EagleThon
• Make your program name colorful using WordArt, an online logo maker, or use Photoshop
• Be creative with objects, like ribbons or other stuff related to your school and city
• Pick colors that match school colors or use yellow (the color of Pediatric Cancer) or red (color for Blood Disorders)

Examples

DublinThon's logo uses their school color of green, a hat from Scioto High School's mascot, and two logos on the hat for Coffman and Jerome High School's logo. This logo perfectly shows the unity of all three high schools while keeping the logo simple and easily recognizable by the Dublin community.

TangyThon's logo is simple, easy to recognize, and makes their connection to Pediatric Cancer obvious. Making logo's like this are relatively easy and are perfect for getting a brand visible in the community.

TangyThon also has a small logo for smaller stuff like Instagram Profile Pictures. While creating this type of logo isn't necessary, it can be really helpful. It's important to keep as much similarity to your larger logo as possible, without making it too crowded. This logo keeps the ribbon, which stands out, and wrote TangyThon to make sure community members knew where it's coming from.
