At Luce, everything we do is centered around connection and understanding. That’s why we pour resources into exciting and innovative ideas and fund knowledge makers who seek to empower their communities with information. We recognize that knowledge has the power to reshape our world into what we want it to be–inclusive, just, and filled with opportunities for all.
Our History
Xinewh-ding - Hupa Language Immersion Nest
The deep red color of the Foundation’s logo is inspired by Henry R. Luce’s parents’ time in China and his own exposure to the country during his childhood. While this signature shade is an important part of our identity and history, we’ve expanded our color palette to signal growth and our hope for a more inclusive and democratic future. From an optimistic yellow to a powerful purple, we seek to convey openness, progressive thinking, and warmth with this updated visual expression.
The logo is available to download in JPG and PNG file formats. Vector files or other image dimensions can be shared upon request.
Please send any questions and requests regarding the logo or Foundation acknowledgment to Jacquelynn Osoro, Communications Director, at [email protected].
