Logo

When applied consistently and purposefully, a logo is instantly recognizable and immediately conjures the unique essence of a brand experience.

Our individual logo components — our symbol, wordmark and tagline — are eloquent when standing alone but even more powerful together.

I soar with the current and move with precision and decisiveness — qualities First Republic has embraced over the decades. Drawn in such a way as to suggest gracefulness, I embody refined brand behavior even as I quietly communicate the heritage of our brand.

It’s a privilege to serve you®

Born on the Klamath Ferry along the docks of San Francisco in 1996, I capture the First Republic brand and mission in a nutshell. Keep me top of mind to ensure that everything you create is personal, humble and refined.

Construction

Our logo comprises three elements: First, our symbol, the Eagle in flight. Then, a wordmark — First Republic — in Bembo caps and small caps. Finally, our tagline, which highlights our dedication to service.

Horizontal lockup

Vertical lockup

Lockups

Logo elements are locked in place, forming our recognizable lockups. The First Republic lockups are our default lockups and are available in two balanced and scalable options: horizontal and vertical.

The horizontal lockup is suited to applications with limited space, while our vertical lockup stacks and centers all identity elements. Use the logo that best complements the design and balance of a layout.

Please note that lockups may be used with or without our brand tagline, but they should never be taken apart or altered.

Although the First Republic logo is the default logo for our brand and most applications, rare instances may require the First Republic Bank logo. Two balanced and scalable lockups are available: horizontal and vertical.

The horizontal lockup is suited to applications with limited space, while our vertical lockup stacks and centers all identity elements. Use the logo that best complements the design and balance of a layout.

Please note that lockups may be used with or without our brand tagline, but they should never be taken apart or altered.

Tagline

Our tagline emphasizes our values and mission. Include it with our logo whenever space permits to reinforce these essential messages. Note that the tagline must always be accompanied by a registration mark and is not punctuated.

Logo with tagline
Because we consider serving our clients a privilege, most of our communications use this logo. This version allows us to express the very essence of our brand.

Logo without tagline
We use this logo in communications to simply identify First Republic or to accommodate extreme space constraints.

Colors

Our iconic brand identity is enhanced and elevated with a flexible system of light and dark background brand colors. Please select from these approved positive and reverse color options.

Positive logo

The preferred First Republic logo is the two-color version, with the symbol in Gold and both the wordmark and tagline in Black. To ensure legibility, the logo is reproduced on a background selected from our white space palette of Cloud, Cotton, Sand and Pebble.

For one-color applications, the logo should be reproduced entirely in Black.

Background / Cloud #FFFFFF

Background / Cotton #F9F8F6

Background / Sand #F0EDE9

Background / Pebble #E0DCD4

One-color applications
For one-color applications of the positive signature, the logo must be reproduced entirely in Black, as no other color is acceptable.

Print applications
For print applications, the Eagle may be printed in Gold Metallic ink.
Please review our Color section for additional guidance.

Reverse logo

As an alternative, the First Republic logo may be reproduced on a Forest or Pine background. The two-color version uses Gold for the symbol and Cloud for the wordmark and tagline.

For black-and-white applications, the wordmark and tagline are White with the symbol converted to 50% Black.

Background / Forest #082A21

Background / Pine #0A382B

Black-and-white applications
When reproducing the signature as a reverse in black and white, the Gold is converted to 50% Black.

Print applications
For print applications, the Eagle may be printed in Gold Metallic ink.
Please review our Color section for additional guidance.

Symbol

Perhaps the single most identifiable aspect of our brand, the Eagle is our unique symbol and is included in everything we produce.

Careful consideration should be given to placement, prominence and treatment each time the Eagle is applied.

When used alone, the Eagle should be set off with ample and proportional clear space on all sides. Clear space should be equivalent to 1/4 of the Eagle’s height (x).

PowerPoint Presentations

In PowerPoint presentations, the Eagle may be used alone once it has been presented within a logo lockup on the title page. On the inside pages, the symbol should be positioned in the bottom left corner.

Special cases

The symbol may appear cropped only in social applications where size and legibility are constraints.

Social Media — circle containers

Social Media — square containers

Usage

Using approved logos and lockups creates a consistent, proprietary and memorable identity for First Republic. It also communicates our distinct personality and publicizes ownership in all branding efforts.

Clearance

To maximize our logo’s visibility and impact, a specific amount of open blank space — or clearance — must appear on all sides of our logo lockups in all use cases. Clearance should be equivalent to the height of the First Republic “F” (x).

Minimum sizes

To preserve the clarity and integrity of the First Republic logos, always follow the minimum size requirements outlined below for lockups. Note that minimum sizes are based on logo height.

The proportions of the symbol, wordmark and tagline must stay consistent. It is critical that these elements never be sized separately and that they enlarge and reduce as a group.

Positioning

We strive to present our brand consistently across all applications, and this concept extends to where our logo is positioned. A uniform logo position communicates hierarchy, conveys stability and enables discoverability.

We offer three tiers of logo positioning: primary preferred, secondary preferred and acceptable alternatives. Please use the primary preferred position whenever possible.

top left (preferred)

In most cases, our preference is to position the logo at the top left of a communication.

In this particular instance, use the horizontal lockup.

top center (preferred)

You may also position the logo at the top center of a communication.

Use either the horizontal or vertical lockup, whichever fits the composition best.

Acceptable alternatives

In rare situations, alternative positioning may be required to ensure the integrity and legibility of our logo.

Bottom Left
bottom Center
bottom right

example: top left

In this preferred position, the logo appears at the upper left corner of the communication. It is set within the margins and with appropriate clearance.

example: Top Center

In this preferred position, the logo appears centered along the top of a communication. The composition dictates whether the vertical or horizontal lockup strikes the right balance.
