Logos

Firstly, you need to determine whether you should use our Mercers’ Company logo (i.e. working in partnership with) or one of our charities logos (i.e. funded by). When referring to funding please check the charity that your organisation or project has been funded by and use this logo. 

We are the corporate trustee of six registered charities:

• Mercers’ Charitable Foundation
• The Charity of Sir Richard Whittington
• St Paul’s Schools Foundation
• The Earl of Northampton’s Charity
• Mercers’ School Memorial Trust (The Merrett Bequest)
• Charter 600
• and sole member of Mercers' Company Housing Association. 

If you are at all unsure, then please email comms@mercers.co.uk 

Please note you should only download and use our logo if you are permitted to do so. We reserve the right to stop you from using our logo if we do not believe its use is appropriate. By using the Mercers’ Company trademarks and resources on this site, you agree to follow the Company’s Brand Guidelines.
