Clear space

To ensure readability, always keep the minimum clear space around the logo.

This isolates the logo from any competitive graphic elements such as other logos or texts which could conflict, overload or reduce the impact of the logo.

  • The minimum free space is defined by the height of the X, shown in grey.

  • The proportions of this clear space should be maintained as the size of the logo is scaled.

Unacceptable usage

It is important for brand success that the logo be displayed correctly. This includes using the correct colours, relative positioning and size of the elements.

DO NOT compromise the logo by:

  • Rotating, skewing, or distorting in any way – this includes adding text treatments like drop shadows and outlines.

  • Adding line(s) of text directly below, above, or beside the logo.
