Logo Guidelines & Download

General Logo Versions

There are two logo versions that can be utilized depending upon the format and vehicle.

The above is the preferred logo.

As shown in the preferred logo, the interoperability background diagram should not be used separate from the logotype. It should not be used in backgrounds, screen tints or other treatments by itself.

Additionally, we have a version to use for black and white only printing and a Member logo that can be utilized shown below.

Usage of Logo

• The logotype and graphic elements assembled in their correct placement, proportions and colors are required to properly make up the SGIP identity, and should never be altered in any way. The SGIP logo should never appear as part of a sentence.
• Any version of the SGIP Logo should always be presented against a white background.
• The visual size and proportion of the elements in relation to each other should not change.

Logo Sizing

Offline: The minimum size for the main logo elements on printed materials is 1.25”.

Online: For online applications, there are 2 preferred sizes for the SGIP main logo elements.
