LOGO | CLEARANCE

Clearance In Practice:

LOGOS | WRONG USES DON’T squash the trademark.

It must maintain its natural proportions in all uses.

DON’T use patterns, textures, effects, outlines, or off-brand colors on the trademark itself.

DON’T remove, resize, or relocate “THE”.

LOGO | WRONG USES DON’T use semi-transparent versions of the logo over photography in design.

The trademark should always be solid white, or solid black. The logo block can float over photography as long as the contrast is sufficient to allow the trademark to remain fully readable.

DON’T place logos over areas in photography that make them difficult to read.

Where possible, the logo should always sit over areas that provide sufficient, even contrast.
