Logo Usage

Do

  • Use the logo on a light, uncluttered background

  • Use the inline version for horizontal layouts (headers, banners)
  • Use the stacked version for square placements (social media, print materials)
  • Link back to cszportland.com when using the logo digitally

Don’t

  • Stretch, rotate, or distort the logo proportions
  • Change the logo colors or apply filters
  • Place the logo on busy or low-contrast backgrounds
  • Add effects like drop shadows, outlines, or gradients
  • Use the logo smaller than 80px wide in digital or 0.75" in print
  • Combine the logo with other text or graphics in a way that creates a new mark
