Logo Usage Guide

The official Open Sky Leadership Institute identity system. Use the supplied files without redrawing, recoloring, stretching, or altering the artwork.

Official variants

Choose by placement and background.

Use the static wordmarks for persistent navigation, the stacked full-color lockup for prominent identity moments, and static one-color variants for print and motion-limited contexts.

Placement hierarchy

A consistent identity has a clear rhythm.

Navigation

Use the static one-color wordmark at 36–44px high. Keep it quiet, left aligned, and linked to home.

Hero

Use the animated stacked lockup once above the fold. Never show more than one animated propeller in a viewport.

Footer

Use the full stacked navy-background variant with copyright and formal institute name.

Print and PDF

Use a static one-color stacked logo. Animation and external SVG fonts render unpredictably in document tools.

Minimum size

Stacked lockup: 180px wide. Wordmark: 120px wide. Below that, use the propeller roundel alone.

Reduced motion

When reduced motion is requested, remove the animated transform or swap to the static variant.

Clear space

Give the identity room to breathe.

Maintain empty space around the logo equal to at least the height of the propeller roundel. Keep text, buttons, imagery, and edges outside this zone.
