Logo Usage

Logo clear space

The clear space (or whitespace) keeps typography, images or graphic elements from crowding the logo. For the University Mark, use the width of the uppercase ”I“ in “Idaho“ as a base for adding clear space. For the Bengal logo, use the space between the top teeth as a visual guide for how much clear space to add.
