Protecting The Mark

Clear Space
The minimum clear space is determined proportionally by the dimensions of the star element within the seal. Whatever size the seal is reproduced at, the buffer scales with it.
Maintain this buffer around the entire perimeter of the seal. Do not allow typography, graphic elements, or the edge of the canvas to encroach on this area.
In practice: if something is close enough that you are wondering whether it is too close, it is too close.
Background Control
Legibility dictates application. The lockup must maintain stark contrast against any background to preserve its structural integrity. Avoid complex textures or patterns that compromise the mark’s visual impact. Four rules cover almost every case:

Apply the stark white lockup against solid-color backgrounds to maximise contrast.

Use the white lockup over dark, uncluttered photographic canvases.

Deploy the primary green lockup over clean, light-toned photography.

Reserve the flat black configuration exclusively for absolute white backgrounds, high-contrast monochrome layouts, or stamped documents.
