Modifications

The Noble Research Institute logo must be used in its full and complete form. This logo is collectively defined by its font, arrangement and coloration. The elements of the Noble Research Institute logo may not be separated or omitted.

Margins

A margin free of design elements should be created around the logo.

  • Print margin: At least 5 millimeters (equivalent to 21-point Times New Roman font)
  • Web margin: At least 20 pixels

Sizing

Once the logo is placed and positioned in a document, slide or template, it can be sized as needed; however, the Noble Research Institute logo must maintain its original proportions. To resize correctly, (a) click on the logo (graphic) and (b) hold down the shift key while dragging one of the corners of the surrounding graphic box.

Holding the shift key ensures that the proportions of the logo are maintained.

Appropriate use:

  • Size the logo to fit your application; however, keep the logo's original proportions.
  • Keep the logo large enough to be read when used.
