Exclusion zone and minimum size

The exclusion zone is the margin of clear space that is required around our Partner Logos. The zone safeguards the legibility and impact of the logo by isolating it from other visual elements like text, graphics and imagery. No other elements can enter the exclusion zone, which is the margin of clear space equivalent to ‘x’ in the image shown.

Descriptor text must be scaled appropriately to ensure it is legible, and clearly associable with the Core Logo.
