We love our Logo-please treat it with tender, loving care.If you mess around with how it looks, it just won’t seem like it’s darling little self anymore.
Do not use a light-coloured version of the logo on backgrounds that aretoo light in colour and cluttered; this will also include placing the logoon a heavily-patterned background.
ADDED EFFECTS. Do not add embellishements like drop-shadows, embossing etcto the logo.
THE OBVIOUS Keep the logo’s proportions sound and keep it straight,a scrunched up, crooked, or stretched-out logo hurts our feelings and makes us sad.
