2. Product Logos Product Logos • Product logos are available in two versions: a) the product name only, or b) product name plus the product category name (example: In-Sight® Vision Systems). • It is recommended that product logo graphics be used when the product name appears as a standalone item. The logo graphics should not be used when the product name is combined with other text.

However, the ® or ™ symbol should be used the first time the product name appears within the text of a document.
Example: Product name and product category logo

Color • Cognex product logos may be reproduced in any color in the Cognex color palette specified on page 5 (plus white or black). Product logos should always appear on a white, yellow, or light gray background color. • Yellow product logos should only be used for PowerPoint presentations that have a grey or black background.
