Hex Codes for FIRST Colours

February 25th, 2010 web No comments

 

Hello Everyone,

As I was designing the website, I found it hard to find the official first logo in a good format (.png, .psd, or .ai).

The FIRST logo standards PDF was useful, which we have in our website under links/documents. One can search for it too.

This is the quick start guide.

Here is the comprehensive guide.

However, I wanted to find the hex-codes to make sure the image I found online had the right colors for our footer on the site. After sampling the screenshot I took of the PDF, I found the following:

On a dark background: the blue is #007DC5 , the red is #EE1C25 , the white is the standard #FFFFFF , and the gray is # 9E9FA3

On the white or light background: the blue is #0067B3 ,  the red is #EE1C25 , and the black is #231F20.

One can put the FIRST logo on a variety of colour backgrounds as long as the follow the guidelines in the pdf. I do not know if my colors’ hex-codes are official, but I derived them from eye-dropping a screenshot of the PDF.

I hope this post was helpful and please keep true to the guidelines so that we can respect the program that has given so much!

Good Luck in the Competitions & Regards,
