To maintain the integrity of the mark, the configuration of the name and garland must not deviate from examples shown here.
The mark must never be redrawn or modified in any way. When reproducing the mark, always work with the master artworks.

The exclusion zone applies to all versions of the mark.

The mark should never be used smaller than the minimum sizes specified here.
The minimum sizes are measured by the width of the symbol
Standard size
In literature design there are standard sizes for the most commonly used print formats - A4, A5 and 1/3 A4 - which are specified here.
