Logo – improper usage.
The Music Canada logo needs to be consistent across all print and electronic materials to help create a strong brand and awareness in the market. The logo should not be altered or misused in any way. The logo should only be depicted as referenced in these guidelines. No recreation of this logo using type or other drawing methods should ever be used.
Logo – spacing.
To ensure the greatest visual impact, the logo must always be framed within a zone of clear space as defined by the example below. Note that the measurement of space surrounding the logo is equivalent to the height of the “m” from the word “music”. The space is proportional to the logo, no matter how large or small it gets.
