Logo Variations

While our default logo is orange, use the black or white version on layouts that are black and white only. You can also use the white version on dark backgrounds so it's easy to see.

Clearspace

To make sure our logo is legible, and to maintain its integrity, keep the area surrounding it free of other elements. The minimum clearspace around the logo is equal to the cap height of the "e."

Logo Alignment

It is preferred to align the logo on the baseline. Alignment along the the bottom of the logo is also acceptable.

Logo Lockup

When locking up the logo follow these guidelines:

  • Separate the logos by the "C"
  • Use a .50pt line
    ​​​​​​​(if using Adobe Illustrator)
  • The line should be the same height as the Credly logo
  • The secondary logo should be the same size as the cap height and baseline. This makes sure the Credly logo is always slightly bigger.
