Guidelines

Correct wordmark usage

ECFE wordmark in four colors

Primary full-color

The standard full-color wordmark should be used whenever possible on digital and print media.

ECFE wordmark in black and white

Black and white

Use this wordmark version only when black and white printing is the only option.

ECFE wordmark reversed

Reversed

The reversed wordmark should only be used over a dark background.

Incorrect wordmark usage

It is important to maintain the integrity and consistency of the ECFE wordmark.

The wordmark must:

  • Always be presented in a clear and legible manner
  • Always be reproduced from the approved files
  • Not be altered in any way

Additional factors to consider when using the wordmark include colors, backgrounds and the clear zone. Although not an exhaustive list, below are common incorrect uses of the wordmark.

Do not alter the color.

Always leave space around the ECFE wordmark equal to half the height of the box in the wordmark (marked as “X”). Keep this area free of any text, images or other graphics.

Minimum size

For the greatest impact and readability, a minimum wordmark size has been established. This is the smallest size at which the wordmark should ever be reproduced. Smaller versions are difficult to read. The minimum size of the identity is based on its width; it should never be less than one inch.

Color palette

The identity should be printed in the approved ECFE colors.

The CMYK colors are the preferred color combinations for all the colors chosen. Use color text for headlines only.
