Authorized users and purposes.

the appearance of or add anything to the logo.
4. Ensure the logo is displayed in a favorable manner, with a sharp image, and without alteration.
5. Give the logo design room. White space around a logo is important because it shows that it is unique; that it is not another designed element on the page. Don’t place other elements too close to the logo. Don’t place the logo too close to an edge.
6. Maintain legibility of the logo without altering its appearance. Don’t place on a busy background. Don’t add a glow, drop shadow, or outline. Instead of altering the logo to work on the background, adjust the background to maximize legibility.
7. EPS logos may be available for high resolution use. PDF logos are available for general printing use. JPEG or PNG logos are available for online use.
