Logo clearspace To ensure the legibility of the logo, a margin must be left around the logo when placed on any poster or composition.This isolates the logo from competing elements such as photography, text or back ground, patterns that may distract attention and lessen the overall impact. Using the logo in a consistent way across all applications helps establish and reinforce immediate recognition of the ACM Gold’s identity. Unit “ X” is used as the measuring unit. In the ACM Gold’s identity, the letter “A” from the name “ACM” is considerd X.
