BASIC elements
clipper logo + = The Clipper name consists of the name and the Clipper symbol. The name, symbol and logo are specially designed for Clipper. Always use the original logo files, never try to modify the elements. Name, symbol and logo are made in Clipper Blue. Black and white versions exists as well, and can be used when the blue color is not optimal. From time to time it can be most optimal to use only the Clipper name as a logo - i.e. without the Clipper symbol. This has been done for example on Clipper business cards. The name is a part of the Clipper logo and has been specially designed for Clipper. Always use the original files, never try to modify the elements. The Clipper name is available in Clipper Blue, black and white versions. Copyright Clipper 2016 5
logo in modular grid The Clipper logo is constructed in a modular grid which defines the proportions and the placing of the logo elements (name and symbol), as well as the minimum distance to neighbouring elements and text. In order to avoid visual disturbance a surrounding area is defined around the logo. Except for logos with division names (Group, Bulk) the area within the borderline must always remain free of other information. LOGO 100% / = 10 mm Copyright Clipper 2016 6
logo in standard sizes When 70% necessary, / = 7 mmthe logo can be scaled down to 70%, 50% or 40%. Recommended minimum size is 40%. There are no standard sizes for scaling the logo up. When scaling the logo up or down, it is important to constrain the original proportions and to respect the minimum distance to neighbouring elements and text (see Logo in modular grid). 70% / = 7 mm 70% / = 7 mm 50% / = 5 mm 50% / = 5 mm 40% / = 4 mm 50% / = 5 mm Copyright Clipper 2016 7
secondary logo Sometimes it is not practical to use Clipper s primary logo. For narrow, tall subjects a special upright sized version of the logo has been designed, with the name centered below the symbol. This is called Clipper s secondary logo. The secondary logo is typically used on give-aways, sports clothing and other items where a vertical format works better than the horizontal primary logo. The secondary logo is made in Clipper Blue. Black and white versions exists as well, and can be used when the blue color is not optimal. The secondary logo can not be used together with division names or similar. Copyright Clipper 2016 8
secondary logo in modular grid Clipper s secondary logo is constructed in a modular grid which defines the proportions and the placing of the logo elements (name and symbol), as well as the minimum distance to neighbouring elements and text. In order to avoid visual disturbance a surrounding area is defined around the logo. The borderline must always remain free of other information. When necessary, the secondary logo can be scaled down to 70%, 50%, 40% or 20%. Recommended minimum size is 20%. There are no standard sizes for scaling the logo up. When scaling the logo up or down, it is important to constrain the original proportions and to respect the minimum distance to neighbouring elements and text (modular grid).
