MOTOR Brand Usage Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure consistency, legibility, and accurate reproduction of the corporate logo across all/any media.

The MOTOR logo

The foundation of the graphic identity and image of MOTOR relies on the representation of our corporate logo. As the visual treatment of our company name, it is our signature. It is critical that any affiliations with MOTOR display our logo consistently. 

Our Corporate Logo

Spacing

Separate the logo from other elements in the layout with a safety area. See the illustration below for the correct margin. The safety area is proportional to the size of the logo. The clear space around the logo must always be equal to, or greater than, 1/2 the x-height of the MOTOR name.

Color

Use the blue MOTOR logo whenever possible. The black and white logo is intended for instances that do not have the color space to use the color logo. The color value for MOTOR blue is:

cmyk: 89, 18, 0, 0

rgb: 0,156, 220

hex #009cdc

 

The background color must never make the logo illegible. Never place the logo on a busy or patterned background.
