These are the three different areas which must be clear of content for the logo to be properly represented. The spaces around the mark are of one X. While between the symbol and the word mark the space should be .5 X.

SIZING CHART
The sizing chart sets the standard for how the logo should be presented for the different sizes for optimal understanding of the logo, without sacrificing readability. The height refers to the symbol when combined. The “2nd� mark refers to the variation of the logo. This has been done so that the logo may retain legibility and form in lower sizes.
