Showing our logo with others

Rules for placing our logo next to another organisation's, for example in partnership or sponsorship announcements.

Example
  1. Balance the two logos so they look the same size and weight.
  2. Separate them with a “×” or a thin vertical rule, and keep each logo's clear space.
  3. Describe only the relationship that actually exists (partnership, sponsorship, membership and so on); do not suggest anything closer or an endorsement.
  4. Follow the other organisation's own guidelines for their logo.
