Logo usage
Appropriate logo usage
Our logo should always appear crisp, properly spaced, and proportionally scaled. Maintain a clear exclusion zone around the mark and use approved file formats for the output you need.
Sizing
- No maximum size: scale as needed when quality is maintained.
- Digital minimum width: 90px @ 150 PPI.
- Print minimum width: 1.5" @ 600 DPI.
Clear space (exclusion zone)
Always allow a minimum space around the logo or icon. Don’t crowd it with text, edges, or other marks.
Icon-only use
The icon can represent the brand when the full logo won’t fit or where the mark is already well recognized (e.g., social avatars, app/favicon icons, signage, merchandise).
Do
- Scale proportionally.
- Use approved brand colors, black, or white.
- Maintain clear space for visibility.
- Ensure strong background contrast.
Don’t
- Stretch, skew, rotate, or recolor the icon.
- Apply gradients or outlines.
- Place on busy/low-contrast backgrounds.
- Combine with unapproved text or shapes.
Color palette
Primary + secondary colors
Primary brand colors should lead. Secondary neutrals support layouts, backgrounds, and readability. Use consistent values across digital (HEX/RGB) and print (CMYK).

Accessibility note
Ensure strong contrast between text and background colors, especially in digital graphics and web content. When placing the logo or icon, choose backgrounds that keep the mark clear and legible.
Typography
Gotham type system
Gotham is the primary brand typeface for web and official print materials. Keep typography clean and consistent, and avoid serif fonts (except within the logo).
Recommended weights
- Gotham Light — body and long-form readability
- Gotham Medium — subheads, labels, UI
- Gotham Bold — headings and emphasis
- Italic variants — limited, purposeful emphasis
Usage rules
- Web + official print: use Gotham as the primary typeface where available.
- Internal letterhead printing: sans-serif substitutes are acceptable if Gotham isn’t available.
- Avoid serif fonts on web and printed documents (logo is the exception).
Practical web fallback stack
If Gotham isn’t available in a browser context, use a clean sans-serif fallback:
font-family: Gotham, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
Note: If you want Gotham to render consistently on the website, it should be properly licensed and served via webfont files.
