Visual Identity
The Rising T1DE Alliance (RTA) visual identity is designed to reflect its commitment to collaboration, innovation, and impactful change in Type 1 diabetes care. Our brand elements are carefully chosen to ensure consistency, professionalism, and recognition across all platforms.
RTA Logo
- The official RTA logo should always be used in its original form, maintaining its blue and white color scheme for clarity and brand consistency.
- Boat and origami: We harness data overlooked by much of the healthcare ecosystem, combining Al and human expertise to illuminate systemic insight across the entire care journey. • Symbolic boat represents hope.
- The origami shape represents the precision of care.
- “Set sail” is the phrase that embodies the message of the origami boat.
- The logo should not be modified, stretched, recolored, or altered in any way. • Adequate padding should be maintained around the logo to keep it visually clean and distinct. • Partner organization logos (e.g., Children’s Mercy Kansas City, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago) should not be included alongside RTA branding without explicit approval.
RTA Color Palette

These colors should be used consistently across digital and print materials to maintain brand recognition.
Typography
RTA’s typography reflects clarity and modernity:
- Montserrat is the official font for all branding materials.
- Headers should be bold and easy to read, ensuring a strong visual presence. • Subheadings and body text should maintain a clean and professional appearance, ensuring readability across various platforms.
