Logo Usage Guidelines

Always use original art files. Never approximate the logotype with ordinary typefaces. Never print the logo smaller than 1 inch wide for the mark-center logo or 1.25 inches wide for the mark-left logo. Do not reverse the logo out to a color other than white. The logo should not be scaled non-proportionately. Always provide space around the logo, free of typography, graphics, or other distracting elements. The logo should never be placed on its own side or on an angle.
