Administrative relationships

Fermilab is managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, and whenever possible and practical the relationship among these three organizations should be acknowledged. This is particularly important for public communications.

The goal is to have the Fermilab, DOE Office of Science and FermiForward logo have equal visual weight when paired together. This can be tricky without a trained eye. Below is a guide on how to pair two logos to have a balanced relationship.

Fermilab and DOE

The Fermilab and DOE logos should both appear in laboratory communications, depicted at the same level in the document and scaled to a balanced proportion. An example of proper depiction of the Fermilab and DOE logos is the About Fermilab fact sheet.

Fermilab, FermiForward and DOE

The relationship between Fermilab and Fermi Forward Discovery Group should be indicated by including one of the following sentences, which should be located below the Fermilab logo and the DOE logo, if used. Examples of proper inclusion of this sentence include the Fermilab letterhead and memo templates.

Choose one of the following sentences:

• Managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy
• Managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science

Fermilab and FermiForward relationship

The Fermi Forward Discovery Group logo should be used when materials are being developed in conjunction with activities or events sponsored by FermiForward. Please contact Creative Services at creativeservices@fnal.gov to obtain a copy of the FermiForward logo, and for questions or if design assistance is needed.

Horizontal relationship

Step 1: Begin by making the height of the FermiForward logo the same height as the Fermilab text.

Step 2: Bottom-align the Fermilab text and the "Forward" text and use the width of the Fermilab logomark as the spacing between logos.

Proper horizontal alignment

Vertical relationship

Repeat the first step as listed for the horizontal relationship, left-align both logos and use half the height of the Fermilab logomark as the spacing between logos.

Proper vertical alignment
