Section 2: Logo Usage
This section outlines the guidelines for proper usage of the company logo. The logo is a registered trademark and its misuse can lead to brand dilution and loss of reputation. When using the logo, ensure it is displayed in its original form without any modifications or alterations. The preferred color palette consists of Pantone 288C (PMS) or #00698f (HEX). For non-branded merchandise, a minimum size of 2 inches in width should be maintained to maintain clarity and legibility. The logo must not be used as part of a composite image or combined with other logos or graphics without prior approval from the brand management team. Always verify that the most up-to-date logo version is being used by checking our website or contacting the marketing department.
