Logo Usage Guidelines
To make any use of our marks in a way not covered by these guidelines, please contact us at info@apexwheels.com and include a visual mockup of intended use.
Primary Logotype
Use the primary logotype as the main representation of the brand in most contexts, ensuring consistent and prominent brand identity across various platforms.
Logotype Construction and Clear Space
Clear Space is the area surrounding the mark. It should be kept free of any visual elements, including text, graphics, borders, patterns or other logos. The clear space on all sides should be at least half of the x-height of the logotype.
Mark
- In brand executions where the logotype or lockup have already been used, this mark can be used to provide graphic variety.
- For social media profile pictures, website favicons, and other digital applications where a smaller, simplified version of the logo is required for better visibility and recognition.
- In situations where the full primary logo is too large or dominant, and a more compact and subtle representation of the brand is needed.
Mark Construction and Clear Space
Clear Space is the area surrounding the mark. It should be kept free of any visual elements, including text, graphics, borders, patterns or other logos. Clear Space is measured in relation to “x”. X = the height of the top area between the a track and the border of the circle. Minimum Clear Space should be equal to or greater than “x” on all four sides of the mark.
Lockup
- While we advocate for using the logotype in most applications, the secondary brand lockup can be employed in certain instances to offer more variety and visual appeal.
- Consider using the lockup in executions that are mostly black and white and would benefit from a pop of color.
Mark Construction and Clear Space
The lockup is constructed by placing the mark at the same distance as the width of the “A” leg in the logotype. The height of the mark is the same as the height of the logotype. The clear space on all sides of the lockups should be at least half of the x-height of the logotype.
Scalability
The mark, logotype, and lockup should never be hard to see or read. To ensure this, never use the logotype or mark at sizes smaller than the minimum sizes specified to the right.
