We refer to ourselves differently depending on the context, audience and location within a piece of text. It is important that our audiences are clear that Médecins Sans Frontières and Doctors Without Borders are the same organisation. Use of the logo is important to reinforce this. Once Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders has been clearly articulated, MSF can be used further on in the text. Outlined here are the guidelines for referring to ourselves in different situations.

Logo

We use our Bilingual logo across all communications. Try to use it at least once in all forms of communication.

Email signatures

When signing off emails, we always refer to MSF as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / Doctors Without Borders.

HTML Newsletter emails

We always use our bilingual logo in text (as well as the footer) and refer to ourselves as Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders.

Presenting MSF Referring to MSF

Printed material (other than Dispatches)

We always refer to ourselves as Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders in the first instance, and as MSF from then onwards.

Dispatches

When talking about MSF on the phone (and/or leaving answerphone messages) we should always refer to ourselves as Médecins Sans Frontières – Doctors Without Borders.

Interviews

In interviews we should introduce ourselves as the medical aid agency Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders. We should speak of MSF from then onwards. Always ask the interviewers and captioners to write Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/ Doctors Without Borders.

Day-to-day conversation

When speaking about ourselves day-to-day, we should refer to the organisation as Doctors Without Borders – Médecins Sans Frontières.

Presenting MSF MSF in words

Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders is an independent, international, medical organisation. Most of its members are doctors and health workers, but many other professions contribute to MSF’s smooth functioning. All of them agree to honour the following principles:

MSF provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man made disasters and to victims of armed conflict. They do so irrespective of race, religion, creed or political convictions.

MSF observes neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal medical ethics and the right to humanitarian assistance and claims full and unhindered freedom in the exercise of its functions.

MSF volunteers undertake to respect their professional codes of ethics and to maintain complete independence from all political, economic and religious powers.

As volunteers, members are aware of the risks and dangers of the missions they undertake, and have no right to compensation for themselves or their beneficiaries other than that which MSF is able to afford them.

A few things to remember whenever communicating about Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders:

We are hands-on; doing what needs to be done •fast and effectively.

We are medical professionals, providing free skilled •healthcare.

We are passionate and compassionate, but not •sentimental.

We try to tell it like it is - our audience is intelligent •and we don’t talk down to them.

We try to avoid jargon (this is hard but important!). •

We are independent in thought, action and funding. •

We focus on helping people survive where the need •is most desperate.

We are focused on the immediate needs of our •patients, not the wider development needs in a country.

We are international – committed people of all •nationalities work together in MSF teams.

We deliver the aid ourselves. •

We use individual voices wherever possible (quotes •rather than descriptive sentences).

Presenting MSF MSF in images 3

The personality of MSF is reflected in the images we use. Always bear in mind these images are taken directly on location – so sensitivity is required.

When choosing photos and illustrations just a few high quality, well-composed images can really breathe life into your communications.

Try to keep it personal – remember, every picture tells a story, and people’s stories are what matterto us.

Remember - in many layouts, one principle photo with other smaller supporting photos works much better than several photos of the same size.

Presenting MSF Images: accuracy and honesty

More detailed rules and guidelines can be found in the Photography Documentation section atwww.msf.org.uk/styleguide

Always avoid:

Incorrect attributions.

False information about placesand people.

Misleading juxtapositions.

Using photographs from an outdated context without making this clear.

Using appeal/campaign photographsto make false generalisations.

Crediting photos

All images must be credited as follows:

Photograph: © Photographer name / credit,country, year

That is unless the country has been mentioned in the caption, in which case there is no need to repeat.

Note: on a page/spread where all photos are from the same country, the country info can be left out. If all photos on a spread are by the same photographer, a catch-all credit can be used, such as:

All photographs: © Photographer name / credit, country, year

Cropping

It’s hard to draw the line on what is acceptable or “good practice” and what is beyond that. Cropping pictures is considered a fundamental right by editors. However, it is a sensitive issue with professional photographers. Many make a point of telling MSF that they do not want their images cropped (check the database carefully for such instructions). Sometimes there’s no other way than to crop a little to fit – but remember, it is important to bear in mind the integrity of the photographer’s vision and cropping should not damage the context and atmosphere shown in the image.

Cut-out photos

If you need to use an element of a photo cut out from its background (designers would call this a clipping path), make certain that you have checked any photographer instructions on the photo database. Think hard about whether removing the background has any impact on the dignity of the subject. And remember that our readers trust MSF to be truthful and honest about everything we report – excessive or thoughtless use of cut-outs where the context is removed could damage our credibility.

Fair use of photos

MSF must represent patients fairly. If someone were suffering from one disease (e.g. malaria), it would be wrong to use his or her image to illustrate an article about kala-azar. It is extremely important that images used by MSF do not twist reality. For example, a child’s mother should not be cropped out of a picture in order to make a baby look more helpless.

Remember

MSF is an international organisation made up of staff from a wide variety of nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. When choosing a selection of images for a publication, make sure that this diversity is reflected in the spread of photographs chosen. A publication that only uses images of white European MSF staff does not accurately reflect MSF.

Page 7: Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders … We refer to ourselves differently depending on the context, audience and location within a piece of text. It is important that

Presenting MSF Images: captions 5

MSF uses captions at the base of every image, occupying between one and three lines, depending on space. Wherever possible, keep to just one line.

The captions are set in a 5mm black strip with 8pt Helvetica Neue CondensedBold reversed out in white, with 9pt leading. The credit is in 7pt Helvetica Neue Regular.

The text frame settings of the black strip should have 1mm spacing at top and 0.5mm spacing at bottom and sides.

Things to avoid:

When captioning images of similar scale which sit together, try not to vary the number of lines used for the captions –be consistent. Sometimes it is helpful to run all the captions together in oneblack box. With stacked images, captions can

run underneath and occupy more than one line if necessary. Photograph: © Photographer name, country, year

Keep captions to one line ideally. Photograph: © Photographer, country, year

Visual Style Colours 6

Our aim is to develop an immediately recognisable visual language that in time will help our organisation communicate clearly and concisely.

If MSF Red appears slightly orange in print, small increments of MSF Black can be added to the CMYK blend for the correct appearance of MSF Red.

MSF Red

This is the primary MSF colour, used in our logo and documents. Red text is hard to read and should only be used to highlight short pull-out quotes, highlighting page numbers, subheadings etc. MSF Red can also be used as a box colour for highlighting information. MSF Red is very strong, so should be used with care.

MSF Black

Used to set the majority of body and headline text. It can also be used as a tint for creating graphic devices to break up the layout of a document.

MSF Blue

Useful as a secondary colour to denote content that is not instrinsically part of the article / story (i.e. for ‘boilerplate’ information such as a list of volunteers in the field, or information on how the reader can get in touch with MSF etc).

Page 9: Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders … We refer to ourselves differently depending on the context, audience and location within a piece of text. It is important that

Visual Style Logotype 7

The MSF logo should only appear in either a combination of MSF Red and MSF Black, or formono publications solid MSF Black. It is bad practice, but permissable if needed, to use a redlogo with white text when the logo appears on adark or black background.

Our bilingual logo is an important way to link the French and English versions of out name in the mind’s of our audience. There are a few variations on the MSF logo, which have been designed for use across a range of contexts. The basics are outlined as follows:

1) Bilingual Logo

This is our primary logo and should be used wherever possible, at least once per public document.

2) Running Man Logo

This has been designed specifically to work independently without the logotype. It can only be used as a supporting graphic and should always be accompanied by theinternational logo.

Note: full details of all the logos and howthey should be used can be found in the‘MSF International Logo Guidelines’ document, downloadable from our website: www.msf.org.uk/styleguide

Visual Style Logo restrictions 8

Restrictions

None of the logos should ever be modified in any way whatsoever. This includes changes to text, colour, opacity, shape, proportion or border.

Exclusion zone

The logo is protected by an exclusion zone. The minimum zone is the dimensions of the head around the outside of the logotype. Keep the zone free of any type or image, and clear of any distraction or complicated background.

On coloured background

The logos can be placed easily on top of uniform pale-coloured backrounds. They should not be used on top of uniform dark-coloured backrounds. They can be used on top of blank, pale-coloured sections of a photograph (as in the two examples here), but not on a dark-coloured portion of a photo. They must never be used on top of a busy and distracting photographic background. If necessary, add a white bar to the top and bottom of the page to insert the logo, rather than place it inappropriately on a photo.

Sleeping sicknessSleeping sickness is caused by a parasite that almost exclusively affects humans. The infection is passed from human to human through the aggressive tsetse fly. It is only found in Africa, where MSF’s treatment and research has done a lot to advance the care of this disease. Initially it causes intermittent fevers and a flu-like ill-ness, followed by anaemia, cardiac problems and severe neurological manifestations. A wide variety of neurological and psychiatric changes can occur including difficulty sleep-ing, excessive daytime sleeping, clumsiness, confusion, mania, paranoia, depression and person-ality changes. Patients can also develo p movement disorders where they involuntarily writhe around. The disease can ultimately end in coma and death.

MSF uses the Helvetica, Helvetica Neue and Miller typeface families.

Miller Text Roman is our main print font and should be used on all printed material as the ‘voice’ of MSF within body text. Miller Display Semiboldis used for headers.

Helvetica and Helvetica Neue are our secondary communication fonts, used to differentiate between our ‘voice’ and the factual data we present.

The fonts listed here should be used in all MSF publications. When work is being carried out in Word, or when the main MSF fonts are not available, Arial and Georgia should be used instead.

Sleeping sicknessSleeping sickness is caused by a parasite that almost exclusively affects humans. The infection is passed from human to human through the aggressive tsetse fly. It is only found in Africa, where MSF’s treatment and research has done a lot to advance the care of this disease. Initially it causes intermittent fevers and a flu-like ill-ness, followed by anaemia, cardiac problems and severe neurological manifestations. A wide variety of neurological and psychiatric changes can occur including difficulty sleep-ing, excessive daytime sleeping, clumsiness, confusion, mania, paranoia, depression and person-ality changes. Patients can also develo p movement disorders where they involuntarily writhe around. The disease can ultimately end in coma and death.

MSF UK publications should follow the layout and design elements of ‘Dispatches’.

Hints and Tips:

If text is justified there is no need for dividing vertical dotted lines. But if, as in most MSF documents, unjustified text is used, then the columns should normally be divided by 0.8pt black vertical dotted lines.

To use space efficently avoid widows and orphans (lone words occupying single lines) by making use of kerning.

To improve ease of reading, try to organise your layout to avoid awkward page breaks within articles. The following layout examples can be downloaded as Adobe InDesign templates from our website:www.msf.org.uk/styleguide

Remember - in most external publications we should include ‘England Charity Reg No: 1026588’and our website.
