Brand marks: Primary logos
This section contains guidance for the use of our core brand assets. Our design system revolves around a number of distinct logos and badges that are integral building blocks. Each block carries a unique purpose and should be used within the right context.

Primary logo lockups
When to use
The primary lockups should be used for all marketing materials and in-product applications, except in cases when badges should be used, like packaging. See badging guidelines for more details.

Badge guidelines

Don’t use the lockup on color, gradient or photography backgrounds.
Monochrome logos
Use for marketing materials and in-product applications, only where the full colored logo or badge cannot be applied. The background should provide good contrast against the logo. Use these rules: Black above light max 5% black. Reverse below dark min 85% black. If the background value doesn’t adhere, use a badge as a visual fallback for static assets.
