Artistic Intent
The visual identity for National Volunteer Week 2026 is to create a visual identity that is warm, energising, and deeply connected to purpose.
It honours last year's story of connection, steps forward into activation, and pays tribute to a global year dedicated to volunteers.
- Soft, layered waves radiate outward, symbolising the ripple of collective impact.
- Blue and magenta connect to IVY26; warm gradients add local identity.
- Feels calm, grounded, and enduring, creating a visual echo of "the continuum of giving."
Most of all, it invites every individual to spark their own ripple of meaningful, lasting change.
