03 LOGO CLEARSPACE Vertical To maintain the integrity of the lock-ups, a certain amount of space around the lock-up must be kept clear of competing visual elements. The following is the clearspace rule for the vertical Brothers Barbershop Logo. In order to gain maximum visibility, the Brothers Logo should always appear with a minimum area of clear space around the logo. This area should be free of any type or graphic element. Using center-line height of the letters “B,” “T” and “H” as “x,” the clear space is a 1x area around the entire Logo. This rule applies to all versions of the Brothers Logo on all mediums.
