Logo
The Intercultural Development Inventory logo reflects the bright confidence, wisdom and authenticity of the IDI brand, the tool and its administrators. The layered “D” in the logo bug symbolizes inclusion, progress and development—all key components of the IDI brand.
The logo is crisp, simple and legible in a variety of sizes. There are two orientations: horizontal and stacked. The horizontal version is preferred and should be used most often. The stacked version is a good alternative for applications with width limitations that would make the horizontal logo look very small.
The company name is set in Nimbus Sans, a friendly but authoritative geometric sans serif font. It has a relatively neutral personality that appeals to a wide and varied audience.
The logo bug and text are all one color—#5F0028. This is IDI’s original burgundy, which is easily recognizable by IDI’s current clients. The white “D” in the logo is transparent.

Logo Usage
The IDI logo should be used in burgundy whenever possible. If the logo is running on a dark background color, or if the background color clashes with the burgundy, please use the white or black versions of the logo instead. The logo should never be altered in any way including stretching, skewing, titling, layout, color or font modification. The IDI logo and all mentions of the Intercultural Development Inventory and its properties should follow the IDI Trademark Guidelines.

| SPACING | |
| Be sure to allow spacing around all sides of the logo equal to or greater than the width of the “I” in the logo bug. | |

Supporting Graphics
Intercultural Development Continuum©
The Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC)© is the most important supporting graphic in the IDI library—it offers the clearest picture of what IDI assessment results mean and how the five stages of intercultural development relate to each other.
Each stage represents a person’s ability to interpret and adapt to cultural similarities and differences. Moving from left to right along the arrow, the stages range from least complex (Denial) to most complex (Adaptation).
The IDC is a key visual tool that helps organizations and individuals chart a path for continued growth along the continuum.
The IDC graphic should never be altered or reproduced in any way.
