Alert:

This component is only used for HealthCare. Please use the theme switcher to view the component with HealthCare styles.

In keeping with our theme of trust, the HealthCare.gov identity marker establishes a universal signature across all HealthCare.gov communications. We treat the marker the same across all media. See the rules to follow when using the HealthCare.gov identity marker below.

The Health Insurance Marketplace, the authenticated application where consumers buy insurance, uses a separate and distinct logo. This logo appears in the HealthCare.gov footer.

To ensure that our identity marker is clearly discernable, it requires space as shown below, free of type, graphics, and other elements that might cause visual clutter. There is also a Spanish version of the marker.

Variations

There are two variations of the HealthCare.gov identity marker that should be used sparingly. The first is a white logo against black. The second is a gray version. Both are intended to be used as "tags" in areas such as a footer where subtle use of the mark is appropriate.

Favicon
