Logo DesignThe Common Ground Logo has two variations: With text and without. The without text version of the logo is preferred for quick and easy recognition although the with text version may be used as circumstances warrant such or when additional space is available. Both variations must maintain the set clear space as designated on the Logo parts page. The Common Ground Logo can be placed on any color back ground provided the color does not drown out the assigned colors of the logo itself.Additional acceptable logo treatments will be addressed in the following pages.
