JDRF

Established in 1975, JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is a leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. A new logo has been introduced by JDRF, which is also downplaying the “Juvenile” angle of their organizations as 85% of those affected with T1D are adults. From the press release: “An essential graphic element in the logo design is the unique and clever inclusion of the ‘T1D’ symbol. Intentionally subordinate to the JDRF name, the symbol reinforces our focus on type 1 diabetes, and moves us toward establishing T1D as identifiable shorthand.”
