The horizontal arangement includes the logo stamp to the right of
“EZSTEPS” with the tagline “Stepping Up” below it, in a block text. Text should be level to the capital “EZ” in “EZSTEPS” to look proportional.
EZSTEPSSTEPPING UP
The verticle arangement includes the logo stamp directly above “EZSTEPS” with “Stepping Up” below it, in a block text. Text should be level to the lower tip of the top square to look proportional.
As the diagrams indicate, when the word mark combined with the logo is used, the clear space must be equal to the height of the “S” in “EZSTEPS.” This is applicable to both the verticle and the horizontal arangement.
The “clear space” refers to the area around the logo that must be clear of any interaction to ensure that the logo remains consistent.

preferably used for images being used. The background cannot
interrupt the logo, and should be placed either in a corner or exactly in the middle. Opacity settings can be changed, depending on photo.

should give off as an emotional feeling.
