2.1_IDENTITY

The Forever 21 logo is an important asset to our organization and should serve as a foundation for all our visual communication. To maintain a strong brand image, it is important that the logo is always applied consistently wherever it sppears. It should never be manipulated or distorted. Its colors, position and size are all specified within this document. Our signature consists of two component: our symbol and the logotype. It is used to identify and strengthen our brand identity.

CAP HEIGHT The distance between the baseline and the meanline

For ultimate visibility and impact, it’s important to retain a designated ‘clear space’ around the signature. The minimum required clear space is defined by the measurement of ‘X’, as shown. In which, ‘X’ is measured by the x-height of the company’s name. The ‘clear space’ should never be interacted or intruded upon by any other graphic object or edge. Nor should it

be enclosed in shape. MINIMUN SIZE

Maintaining this clear space in all uses to give the signature the proper ‘breathing room’ to visually stand out.

The minimum size that the logo can reduce down to is 25mm width
