Making Your Club Logo
Build your club's official logo from Rotary's free template, instead of a wheel copied from Google.
Your club logo
Use the template, not a wheel from Google.
Rotary asks every club to "always use your customized club, district, or zone logo" when promoting the club, made from the Brand Center template, and to retire older club logos (Brand Center, logos; club logos). It's free for every member.

The official lockup. The Rotary wheel and wordmark with your club's name, from the template. Shown: the district's own.
Home-made. A stretched wheel from an image search, a different colour, a club motto and a font of your own. Rotary's rules say don't add wording, use colours outside the template, or manipulate the logo's parts (do's and don'ts).
Make it in the Brand Center
- Go to the Rotary Brand Center at brandcenter.rotary.org and sign in with your My Rotary account. Screenshot to come
- Open Templates, then Logo systems, and choose the Rotary club logo template. Screenshot to come
- Type your club's name the way your community knows it. The template keeps the font, colour, position and size fixed; a long name can wrap onto a second line. Screenshot to come
- Download it, including the simplified version for anything smaller than 1.25 cm or embroidered. Save the files somewhere the whole club can reach, not only on your laptop. Screenshot to come
Stuck, or the template won't take your club's name? Email publicimage@rotary9660.org.au and we'll make it with you.
Using it
- Clear space around it equal to the height of the capital R in "Rotary" (Rotary's rule). A plain background helps it read (district tip).
- Rotary's don'ts: don't move or manipulate its parts, use colours outside the template, use only part of it or cover any of it, or add descriptive text, mottos or event themes.
- Profile pictures: your club logo, or the round Rotary wheel on its own. Rotary calls the wheel the Mark of Excellence: it can be the round profile image on club social pages, and on flyers and banners it must sit near your club logo. There is no simplified version of it (Brand Center, Rotary logos).
- With a partner or event: use Rotary's lockup template, with exactly one partner, sponsor or event beside your club logo.
- In Canva: upload it to your Brand Kit so every design uses the right one: brand assets in Canva.
