Logo Clear Space and Sizing Clear Space Clear space is the area around the logo that must be kept clear of competing graphic elements. The minimum required clear space is defined by the measurement x, as shown. This measurement is equal to the height of the e in our wordmark. Horizontal Keep in mind that x represents the minimum amount of space you must give the logo. Increasing the clear space surrounding the logo can result in a greater impact. Vertical To help our logo stand out we ve established a minimum size, as shown in the exhibits to the right. Minimum Sizing The minimum size shown here should accommodate most applications. Whatever reproduction technique is used, our logo should always be clearly executed. Applications such as the Web, signage or merchandise may require larger sizes for legibility.
