Clear space is the area surrounding our logos that must be kept free of any text or graphic elements. By leaving space around the logo, we make sure it stands out on all our communications. The minimum clear space is at least 50% of the height of the entire graphic element.

It is sometimes necessary to increase and decrease the element depending on the print area. Always keep in proportion. Always ensure the text is legible.

Use of Type

4.3

Typography

One of the most important techniques for effectively communicating content is the use of typographic hierarchy. Typographic hierarchy is a system for organizing type that establishes an order of importance within the data, allowing the reader to easily find what they are looking for and navigate the content. It helps guide the reader’s eye to where a section begins and ends, whilst enabling the user to isolate certain information based on the consistent use of style throughout a body of text. It is important to maintain these type pairings. This allows for clarity, consistency and a strong hierarchy for all communications.
