White Logo Mark White lines over a dark background appear thicker than dark lines over a white background. To combat this constraint, the white RC logo mark has been created thinner than its darker counterpart. Although it may appear the same when side by side, the two logos have been placed on top of one another to highlight this difference.

For this reason, the colored or black RC logo should not be turned white to use on a colored background. Instead, the white logo file should be used.the white logo
