Every brand should have its set guidelines for its logo and design. In this way, they can stand out from the crowd as an individual.
Riseup Labs has its branding guidelines as well. Once you know about it, you will love using it for your work because they are an essential part of the brand strategy.
We are very proud of our logo, and we require that you follow these guidelines to ensure it always looks its best. Our logo is the combination of a modern and straightforward wordmark with the icon.
Our logo is Riseup Labs' face - the primary visual expression that we use to identify ourselves. Which means that we need to be careful to use it correctly and to do so consistently.
Clear space prevents type, imagery, or other graphic elements from interfering with our logo's legibility. No graphic elements should encroach the border around the logomark. This space is determined by 50% height of logomark on each side. Measure the clear length for primary logomark by the height 36 px.
Establishing a minimum size ensures that the logo's impact and legibility are not compromised in the application.
Riseup Labs logo should never be smaller than 70px in digital or 20mm in print.
