 WSI 01 Identity Guidelines

Logo colour variations

The logo should be produced in colour whenever possible. For specific colours to use when reproducing the logo (spot or PANTONE®, CMYK, RGB), refer to the Identity Guidelines document. White is the most effective background colour on which to reproduce the colour logo because it provides a clean, crisp contrast for the logo’s colour and elements. If colour is not available or is not a viable option, the logo should be produced in solid black or solid white on a solid colour background.

The logo should always maintain maximum visibility over any background colour or image. The logo may be placed over photographs or patterned images as long as maximum readability is maintained.

Any variations to these guidelines must be approved by the Secretariat.  

RGB, CMYK, PMS logo for use on white backgrounds or where there is sufficient contrast between the logo and the background for readability and reproduction.	RGB, CMYK, PMS logo for use on dark or black backgrounds.	White logo for use when full-colour reproduction is not an option or viable solution on dark or black backgrounds.	Black logo for use when colour reproduction is not an option.
