Primary Logo
OtterClam’s primary logo is a horizontally placed icon+wordmark. This shall be used across primary brand applications.
Secondary Logo
OtterClam’s secondary logo is a vertically placed icon+wordmark. It may be used instead of the primary logo if it better suits the associated media. However, it should never be placed directly next to the primary logo.
OtterClam Icon
As mentioned above, the full logo must be used unless the conditions permitting the usage of an icon alone applies. The conditions are as follows:
- The OtterClam name has been displayed in plain text, and
- There is not enough space for the full logo
It is important to note that the icon may be displayed without the wordmark; but the wordmark may never be displayed without the icon.
Logo Color Variants
The proper color variant to be used depends on the background of the medium. The logo with wordmark in Otter-Black should only be used on a white or light background. The logo with wordmark in white should only be used on a black or dark background. You can use a monochrome logo if the colored one does not fit in the place you apply to.
Exclusion zone
The logo and the icon’s exclusion zone is ⅓ the height of the icon (marked as × in the diagram).
Minimum size
To ensure legibility, an OtterClam logo must be applied at a minimum size as indicated below.
Logo misuse
