Logo
This is the official logo for DLT Science Foundation (DSF). Use of the DSF trademark and logo must comply with these rules.
We should use the primary version of logo wherever it is possible.
The small version of logo should only be used at extremely small sizes such as favicons or social signatures.
Clearance
The minimum clear space surrounding the Primary and Small Logotype is equivalent to 1/2 of the height of the logotype.
Color
Our logo's two colours provide flexibility, ensuring a professional appearance on a variety of backgrounds. The black logo works well on light backgrounds, while the white version stands out on both coloured and dark backgrounds. In situations where there is imagery in the background, we recommend adding a layer of blue to enhance contrast and uphold our brand's distinct identity.
The white logo should be used on dark backgrounds.
Dark logo should be used on white and light backgrounds
Co-Branding and Partnerships
The logo should be used with a partner logo with specified clearance. For alignment, match x-width of logos if possible. If DSF is the main organiser, keep the logo bigger than the others.

(secondary - but same level as other partners)
Restrictions
- Don’t use the logo on top of plain images.
- Instead, add a layer of color that turns the image blue and creates contrast with the logo
- Don’t modify the logo in any way (change shape, font, etc)
