Millions of players. Millions of winners. Thousands of good causes. One brand making extraordinary happen for everyone.
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 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.
Digital colour requirement - when used with responsible play messaging
Mono - only to be used in cases where colour print is not feasible
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

The logo loves its personal space, so give it room to breathe and be seen clearly.
To make sure the logo retains its legibility and stand-out at all times, its minimum size has been set at 50px.
When using alongside imagery, make sure to place the logo in an area of clear space.
Centred, left-aligned, placed at the top or bottom of the canvas - if used with care, the logo is happy anywhere.

At all points of the customer journey, make sure you're using the game logo and TNL logo within the same touchpoint, to ensure people connect the dots between the game and The National Lottery.
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.

When saying thank you to our players.
Whether a winner or not, just by playing you are contributing to something amazing. The role of the Thumbs Up Crossed Fingers is simply to say thank you and well done from The National Lottery. It should only appear with the Thanks to the Players message.

The role of the Welcome Crossed Fingers is to introduce The National Lottery as a friendly and approachable brand. The subtle movement in the smile and the eyes is optimistic and encouraging and helps you connect with the brand on a more emotional level.
Some of these might seem obvious, but don't do any of the following with the logo - we're all about appearing as consistently and reliably as possible.
