Our Name

In business contracts, we are formally known as Research St. Joseph's – Hamilton (RSJ–H or RSJH).

In everyday use and on social media, we use the name The Research Institute of St. Joe's Hamilton, The Research Institute of St. Joe's, or simply The Research Institute, depending on the context. Note that only our formal business name uses "Joseph's," whereas all other forms use "Joe's."

Variations that mix naming elements of RSJH and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton are not correct. Here are some examples of how not to refer to us:

• The Research Institute of St. Joseph's Hamilton
• The Research Institute of St. Joseph's Healthcare
• St. Joseph's Research Institute
• St. Joseph's Healthcare Research Institute
• The Research Institute at St. Joe's/St. Joseph's

Our Templates

• RSJH Slide Presentation - 2019 PowerPoint Template (16:9 aspect)
• RSJH & SJHH Co-branded PowerPoint Template (4:3 aspect)
• RSJH Letterhead - Word Template

Our Logos

The Research Institute's logo is comprised of the words "The Research Institute of St. Joe's Hamilton" in white over a green square with the upper left and lower right corners rounded. This logo is offered here as a PNG file in two different sizes. Unless you require the logo for a print design, it is recommended to use the digital/web resolution version.

The logos that represent each of the five research pillars contain a white symbol over a colour-themed circle. There are versions with and without an outer ring of text that contains the name of the pillar. When the five pillars are presented together, they should always appear in the same order: 1) Mental Health & Addiction, 2) Lungs & Chest, 3) Father Sean O'Sullivan Research Centre, 4) Kidney, 5) Genitourinary.

Do not alter, add, or remove any elements of the logo. Do not change the aspect, typeface, colours, or proportions of the logo. Avoid using cluttered or busy backgrounds. Try to keep some white space between the logo and any others, as well as the edges of your design or other elements.

Our Colours

The exact colour codes are presented below. Many software applications, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, have a colour picker or eyedropper tool that can be used to copy the colour from the logo images. These are less exact, but will be sufficient for almost all cases. These colour codes are built-in to the RSJH PowerPoint Template (available above).

Note: Web colour codes contain letters A-F and numbers 0-9 only.
