A minimum amount of space surrounding the logo is required in order to preserve its formative characteristics.
Mandatory guidelines regarding spacing include Spacing Rule A and Spacing Rule B.
Spacing Rule A
A sufficient amount of clear space according to spacing regulations is required when applying the logo. If the length of the logo is 14x, x amount of space should be set aside on the top, bottom and right-hand sides. The left must include spacing of 1.5x.
Spacing Rule B
For billiboards, signs, print material and other media for which legibility is key, Spacing Rule B can be applied to ensure legibility in the case of limited spacing. If the length of the logo is 25y, the top, bottom and right-hand sides should have y amount of space while the left must include spacing of 1.5y.
