HORIZONTAL FORMAT The horizontal format of the logo (icon left hand side of text) is recommended as the primary format, specially when it is placed beside logos of sponsors and external partners which are also on horizontal format. When using any two or three of these logos, make sure that the horizontal format is consistent, side by side other horizontal logos. NS logo, in all cases, takes precedence over all other logos. We strongly recommend using the logo primarily over a white or light background such as cream, light shades of blue, and light shades of green.

VERTICAL FORMAT The vertical format of the logo (icon on top of text) is recommended when there is a need to economize on the design space, specially when it is placed on logos of sponsors and external partners which are also on vertical format. When using any two or three of these logos, make sure that the vertical format is consistent, side by side other vertical logos. NS logo, in all cases, takes precedence over all other logos. We strongly recommend using the logo primarily over a white or light background such as cream, light shades of blue, and light shades of green.

Using the Logo in Dark Colour Background (Horizontal Format) In all other color background whether plain, solid color or multi-color use a white accent such as a white bar or a white arched space on top or bottom so the logo can be visible. On the left side are some examples. In all cases, ensure that the logo is visible, unobstructed, and its text portion is still readable.

Using the Logo in Dark Colour Background (Vertical Format) In all other color backgrounds, use a white accent such as a white circle or a white loop, or a white tab in any corner of the poster, depending on the design layout.

As illustrated in the left hand side, keep the spaces within the dashed perimeter of the logos free from other graphics or text. Keep it clear and clean.
