Correct use

Please follow these rules when using the FORS logo:

 

Keep a minimum clear space around the logo. The X-measurement is based on the width and height of the square of the Swiss cross. Simply divide these dimensions by 1.5 to obtain the value and apply the safety zone all around the logo.

 

 

 

Always maintain the original proportions of the logo to preserve its visual integrity. Do not stretch, rotate, distort, or alter it in any way. Use only the official color versions provided in the brand guidelines; do not substitute colors, add shadows, gradients, or other visual effects. Ensure there is sufficient contrast between the logo and its background to guarantee clear visibility and consistent presentation across all applications.

Minimum size

For readability, the logo should never appear smaller than:

  • 25 mm wide in print
  • 95 px wide on screen
