Brand guidelines

  1. Use the full color logo whenever possible.
  2. There is no official preference between the vertical and horizontal logo variations. Use whichever suits the context best.
  3. The logo icon (without the name) should only be used as a secondary reference when the primary logo is also shown, or the Streets.mn name is shown (e.g., on social media profiles). Do not use alone.
  4. If the background is too dark for the full color logo to be legible, use the white version.
  5. The “dark mode” color variations are intended to provide a palette of colors that represent the brand but are suitable to be overlaid with white text. The Dark Orange, Dark Green, and Dark Blue colors are selected for white text. Dark Yellow is not suitable for white text but should be used of the yellow brand color is to be represented on the page.
  6. When used online or in digital materials, link the logo to Streets.mn.
  7. Do not modify the logo, alter colors, use without padding, or box the logo.
  8. When writing out “Streets.mn” in text, the first ‘s’ should be capitalized, and all other letters lower cased.

What NOT to do: Examples of disallowed modifications

DO NOT USE. Example of disallowed logo modification - padding and boxing

Do not:
Box or use without padding

What’s wrong? The logo does not have adequate padding, and is shown in a box.

What to do instead? Do not use a border box. Use padding consistent with the context. When in doubt, use approximately 1/2 the height of the “wheel” icon as a minimum padding.

DO NOT USE. Example of disallowed logo modification - color changes

Do not:
Change colors

What’s wrong? The colors have been modified from the standard brand colors

What to do instead? Use the brand colors, all-white, or all-black only.

DO NOT USE. Example of disallowed logo modification - capitalization

Do not:
Capitalize Streets.mn in logo

What’s wrong? Streets.mn has been capitalized. In the logo, it should always appear as lower-case.

What to do instead? Only use the lower-case variations provided.

DO NOT USE. Example of disallowed logo modification - rotation

Do not:
Rotate the icon

What’s wrong? The wheel icon has been rotated.

What to do instead? Use only the rotation as provided, with the points extending outward like compass points.

DO NOT USE. Example of disallowed logo modification - scale changes

Do not:
Use a non-standard scale

What’s wrong? The wheel icon from the vertical logo has been shrunk down, and used in a non-standard locations.

What to do instead? Only use the scale and placement provided in the logos on this page. The vertical logo should have the wheel icon larger than the text. The horizontal logo uses the wheel icon in-line, replacing the period in the name.
