LOGO APPLICATION AREAS Many variables will determine how one uses the logo. It should also be seen clearly but does not need to be the focal point. Headlines, text, photography, and media platform all play a factor in how and where the logo will appear.
IMAGES Make sure when placing the logo on an image that the image has enough free space . If not, a transparent strip can be used to create a calmer background .
