LOGOTYPE

The INFORM logotype is the key component of the company’s corporate design.
It communicates from where the information originates (the company) and identifies all INFORM GmbH media.

Word and figurative mark

The word and figurative mark can be used in all company communications.

If it is not possible to use the color version of the logotype, for example, due to production limitations, the monochrome version may be used.

Minimum size
The word and figurative mark may never be less than 10 mm wide.

Negative-space version
The negative-space version of the logo is not intended for use in general communication media. The negative-space version may be used only in specific cases.

Important
The word mark (logo lettering) should always appear with the figurative mark (rhombus). The logotype may not be arbitrarily modified.
If you wish to use a version of the logotype not described in this manual, simply contact corporate communications:

Minimum spacing

The defined minimum amount of space around the word mark on all sides, meaning the amount of clear space, should equal at least the height of the uppercase letters (I, N, F or M) when completely straight.
