Lockup Structure

These lockups build on the Smith logo to establish credibility, create unity and retain a strong and consistent visual relationship with the main Smith brand.

Lockups may be used in marketing, advertising, communications, and business applications. They are not recommended for websites.

Lockups are one-colour, and may be used in Smith Blue, black, or white.

Logo Lockup Use

All logo guidelines, including background colour, incorrect usage, and placement, also apply to the logo lockups.

Clear Space and Minimum Size

Clear Space

A minimum clear space must be maintained around Smith’s logo at all times in order to preserve its impact and integrity. The clear space for the logo is defined by the height of the lowercase “m” in Smith, extending from the furthest edges of the logo on the top, bottom, and sides. No other type or graphic element may appear within the prescribed clear space, including the edge of an application.

Minimum Size

The recommended minimum sizes have been established to maintain the legibility of the Smith logo. A lockup should be no smaller than 19 mm (0.75”) in print (or 100 pixels) in height.

Incorrect Logo Use

The following are examples of how the logo cannot be modified or used. These parameters apply to all logos and any lockup versions.

DO NOT place the logo on a background with low colour contrast

DO NOT place the logo on a detailed background or photo

DO NOT place the logo such that photographic elements infringe on the logo's clear space

DO NOT place the logo such that it crosses over multiple background colours

DO NOT place the logo on a patterned background
