The Small Acorns Fund

Fund brand identity

The National Brain Appeal is the charity dedicated to raising funds for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. The launch of The Small Acorns Fund gives front-line hospital staff the chance to apply for funding to fast-track small scale projects that could have a big impact and benefit to patients. This simple logo represents the programme by using a shift of perspective to illustrate the metaphor to which Small Acorns alludes.
