There are many benefits from adopting the Home Grown logo on your plant labels and marketing material not least the creation of one symbol that consumers will come to recognise whatever part of the country they live in as standing for British grown plants.
These guidelines have been created to ensure that these benefits are realised through the consistent and controlled use of the Home Grown logo by growers throughout the country.
The logo is only to be used in the formats shown in this document. All Home Grown logo artwork is available as eps, jpeg or png files from the BPOA.
Growers are permitted to include their business name and location/address on the label with the Home Grown logo. There are no requirements for the typeface or colour of this text. We recommend using a standard san serif typeface such as Arial, and keeping the text in black or the Home Grown blue. This gives the text clear visibility and complements the Home Grown logo. The Home Grown logo typeface is Century Gothic Bold.
Grower-specific text
Text recommended be updated to the following specifications:
Business name and address text recommended be set as Arial Bold or Century Gothic Bold in black or Home Grown blue centred under logo, with business name and location/address split onto two separate lines.
