BRAND MARKS [ CONTINUED ]
Primary Logo Marks with Tag-line - lockupThe Maher Group Logo Marks have also been designed with a positioning tag-line.
Please note the nature of the tag-line are designed to signifiy the hiearchy of the Logo Marks as outlined on (page 7).
The Maher Group for example utilites upper and lowercase defining the offering in a sentance form as this is the Primary Mark of the business entities.
Maher Partners and Mast Wealth are intentionally more specific, highlighting the services offered in the business categories in which they operate.

LOGO VARIATIONS
MAHER GROUP VISUAL STANDARDS I ©S2CREATIVE I S2CREATIVE.COM.AU I PAGE 11
Several possible constraints may arise when applying the Logo Mark. These can be related to reproduction issues or space allocation.
To ensure a consistant Brand image, various standard logo configurations that make up the Logo Mark suite have been carefully considered and designed to cover these issues.
These versions are only to be used in the event that using the main logo is not an option.
Example shown utilised where vertical space (depth) is limited, for example:
n email signatures
n signoff for advertising materials.
