Short boilerplate

World Zombie Day: London is a free annual fundraiser zombie walk through central London, held every year on the second Saturday in October. In 2026 it returns on Saturday 10 October, raising money for The Dead Good Club, committed to fighting brain rot. A not-for-profit pro-human organisation helping people build healthier digital habits.

Long boilerplate

World Zombie Day is an international annual event that grew from Pittsburgh’s first zombie walk at Monroeville Mall in 2006, the site where George Romero filmed Dawn of the Dead. Its aim is to bring fans of zombie culture together in an international effort to raise money for good causes, and more than 50 cities have taken part since its inception. The London walk has been running since 2008 and typically draws several hundred participants; it returns on Saturday 10 October 2026, raising money for The Dead Good Club, a not-for-profit committed to fighting brain rot. The event is free, family-friendly and dog-friendly, and open to anyone who wants to shamble.

Logo

The lock-up and the brain mark, exactly as supplied. Please do not recolour, stretch or add effects to either. Zombie Red is a display colour: use it for fills, rules and large headings, never for body text, where it does not meet contrast requirements.

The brain mark on its own.

The brain mark on its own, for avatars, favicons and anywhere the full lock-up will not fit.

  • Zombie Red#E74C3CDisplay only. Fills, rules and large headings, never body text.
  • Greige#F7E7D8The type in dark mode, and the rules and borders on it.
  • Dark Grey#404040Secondary marks and dividers.
  • Black#1A1A1AThe ground in dark mode, and the slabs on the red.

Typefaces

Two faces, both from Google Fonts and both free to use. If you are setting anything alongside the logo, these are the ones.

Grandstander

The display face, for headings and buttons. Always set in capitals: the site applies the caps itself rather than typing them, so a heading is never written in shouted text. Weight 700, with a little letterspacing added because uppercase needs it.

Donation QR code

QR code linking to the donation page

This points at the donation page. Save it and use it anywhere it helps: a poster in a window, a flyer, a slide, the end of a piece. Anyone who scans it lands straight on the page where they can give, and every scan is money that goes to the cause. Four versions, so it sits on whatever ground you have.

The Dead Good Club

The cause the walk raises money for, and the other mark you might need. It was drawn twice, once for each ground, and neither version should be recoloured or stretched.
