Our logos

• 

  

  Main logo

  The emblem with a white outline. Works on light and dark backgrounds. Use this one if you are unsure.

  SVGPNG

• 

  

  Emblem

  The emblem without the outline. Use it on light backgrounds only.

  SVGPNG

• 

  

  Horizontal logo

  The emblem with the NERDVANA wordmark, for banners and other wide spaces.

  SVGPNG

• Use the files as supplied. SVG is best for print and design work; the PNGs have transparent backgrounds.
• Give it room. Keep clear space around the logo of at least a quarter of its height, free of text and other logos.
• Keep it readable. Show the emblem at least 48 pixels (15 mm) tall and the horizontal logo at least 160 pixels (40 mm) wide.
• Pick a calm background. Place it on a plain colour or a quiet part of a photo, never over busy detail that hides the edges.
• We sometimes use Pride and Transgender versions of our emblem. They are not in the kit; please ask before using them.
