New Look. New Products. New Delivery Options.

A New Look for a Trusted Industry Brand

The Institutes are excited to unveil our new brand look.

The great writer, Victor Hugo, once observed, "Change your leaves, keep intact your roots." We thought that was good advice. After all, a logo is only a small part of what a brand is all about; brands are truly defined by the quality and value of their products and services.

You’ll notice some changes here at The Institutes; changes to our leaves. But we’ve been serving the industry for more than 100 years and we have very strong roots. Not only are we going to keep those roots, we’re going to keep making them even better.

The Core of The Institutes´ Brand
We´ve built The Institutes’ brand on a strong foundation, including

Respected Technical Content
Our technical insurance content is the best in the industry. It´s the core of our corporate DNA. Expect to see exciting new content and comprehensive revisions.

Recognized Credentials
We know our designation and certificate programs are important to you and the industry; they´re important to us, too. We will continue to confer the professional credentials our industry demands, including new ones like our Associate in National Flood Insurance (ANFI^TM).

Authoritative Research
The Institutes´ research division, the Insurance Research Council (IRC), provides timely and reliable empirical research to all parties involved in public policy issues affecting risk and insurance. Their comprehensive, objective studies help policy makers and insurance organizations make more informed decisions.

High Quality
The Institutes have built a reputation for quality over 100 years—no one can match that. And just as we have for more than a century, we´ll work to continuously improve our products, processes, and service so they meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

The Look of Our New Brand
The Institutes are excited to unveil a sneak preview of our new brand look. You´ll begin seeing our new brand look and logo rolling out over the next few months.

Our Name
The property-casualty and risk management industry knows us as The Institutes, for short. We´ve been calling ourselves that for quite a while, too. So now we´re just making it official. It better reflects the responsive and straight-forward way we do business

The name "The Institutes" also represents the combined brands of the American Institute For Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters—which is our full legal name—and the Insurance Institute of America. These are respected names in the industry; names that belong to us, names that we´ll protect. So you can be assured that the diploma hanging on your wall will retain every bit of its value.

Brand Positioning
Our new brand positioning simply declares who we are and what we do. It evokes our history of and reputation as an industry leader while focusing on the overall benefit to you, our customer:

The Institutes are the leader in delivering proven knowledge solutions that drive powerful business results for the risk management and property-casualty insurance industry.

Tagline
Just about every brand has a tagline. It serves as a quick reminder about what the brand means to you, the customer. For The Institutes that reminder is:

"Proven Knowledge. Powerful Results.^TM"

And here´s what it means to you:

Proven Knowledge. The Institutes have a history of delivering industry-respected technical insurance content. You can trust us to provide you with the knowledge you need to be more effective and efficient.

Powerful Results. Additionally, the knowledge you gain from The Institutes—and the decisions you make using that knowledge—will ultimately yield measurable and meaningful business results.

Our Logo
The four arrows in our logo are not simply a design element. The four arrows symbolize, in a dynamic way, The Institutes and how we conduct business. Three arrows point inward to a common place—a convergence of needs, proven knowledge, and collaboration. All four arrows also point forward to a goal, driving toward powerful business results.
