*The full colour should be used at all times, the only time that other variants can be used is if visual integrity forbids its overall clarity.

Logo UseCorrect Usage
Exclusion Zones
Minimum Size
There is a set perimeter of clear space that the logo requires. Its presence is optimised by this space and should never be shared.
It is determined via the letter O used in the ROVERS part of the title. By using it’s height, doubling the size and setting a square to this measurement, gives a zonal marker that increases and decreases with the formatting of the logo.
The logo should never fall beneath 25mm in width. Any smaller, there becomes a problem with its legibility and effects becoming distorted and undefined.
