Our logos have been cropped and sized to include the clearspace.
Minimum display size:
Print: 1 inch wide
Web: 96 pixels wide
Do not stretch the logo horizontally or vertically, or tilt or rotate the logo. Always resize proportionally.
Do not add outlines, gradients, or different colors/shades to the logo.
