LOGO GUIDELINES

Logo PLACEMENT guidelines:

• Logo at top of screen should be left aligned

• Logo at bottom of screen should be right aligned

• Logo should only be centered if it's the only graphic on a page, or combined with 3 or less lines of text (eg. announcement, name badge)

Logo SIZE guidelines

• Logo should never be larger than 1/3 the width of a page and most often should be 1/4 or less of the size of a page.  However, it should never be less than 1/6 the size of any page

Logo Margin SIZE guidelines
the margin around the logo should always be 1/2 the height of the logo. So if the logo is sized to be 1.5 inches, the margin around should be .75 inches.

Energy Bar Guidelines
Whenever practical, use the blue energy bar with the main APIC Blue color (shown above)

Logos with other Logos
Logos should never be placed with other logos unless for the goal of expressing a partnership.  In cases of partnership, ideally the APIC Solutions logo is placed in the first left position and is equal in size or larger than other logos.

Alignment to the logo

When aligning text below the logo... align to the lowest dot on the left

When aligning text above the logo... Align to the highest dot on the left (or right)
