4-H BRAND RESOURCES

     The 4-H brand tells the world who we are and has a great impact when used correctly.  The 4-H brand uses a precise 4-H clover in a certain color.  Specifics on approved logos and colors can be found at www.montana4h.org/resources/4-H_brand.html.  If you are making a flyer and need logos or clip art sent to you, we are happy to do that.  Call the Extension office to make that request.

The national 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover with the letter "H" on each leaf, denoting Head, Heart, Hands and Health. The four-leaf clover signifies "Good Luck."

Head, Heart, Hands and Health represent the four values members work on through fun and engaging programs.

 

4-H Colors - Green and White

Green is nature's most common color and is emblematic of springtime, life and youth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals.
