TNL Logo TOP BLUE

Millions of players. Millions of winners. Thousands of good causes. One brand making extraordinary happen for everyone.

More than a logo, the 'Crossed Fingers' are our crown jewels - the distinctive, joyful, reassuring heart of the brand since 1994.

A new logo with extra character, reminiscent of the moment the game balls drop.

Where we are now

The brand has a wealth of valuable physical touchpoints up and down the UK, printed with its 2014 logo.

As a result, rather than updating or replacing these with the new logo, the new design system has been adapted to work alongside the 2014 logo on these touchpoints - and these touchpoints only.

THIS LOGO IS NOT FOR DIGITAL USE.

The logo should sit on negative space of a photograph. If there’s no clear space, the game logo should be placed within a Lotto Red rectangle with the correct clear spacing around it.

Colour & backgrounds

Colour is key to the brand and we highly recommend heading to the 'Colour' section to learn more about it. As a result, when it comes to the logo, colour is vital to creating the right level of stand-out.

The logo can be used with a TNL Heritage blue keyline on a royal blue background, unless mono-printing is required.

The logo can be used directly on a TNL Heritage blue background, with the exception of responsible play messaging on digital to drive flexibility and legibility.

Logo options

These are the logo options for use across TNL branding. In environments where the Crossed Fingers logo requires added context to drive familiarity with new players, it should be locked up with the TNL wordmark. Wherever possible, the simpler, stand-alone crossed fingers should be used

Animated crossed fingers

To bring more character to the brand and drive an emotional connection with players at key moments, we've brought the logo to life through animation. To retain their impact and charm, use them in the right places at the right time.
