Logo Usage Principles
  • Aspect Ratio Conservation: The logo must be used preserving original aspect ratios; it must strictly not be stretched.
  • Color and Resolution: Corporate colors should not be changed; pixelated or low-resolution visuals should be avoided.
  • Visibility: Sufficient space should be left around the logo; readability must be ensured on complex backgrounds.
