LOGO SPECIFICATIONS

03
THE LOGO
Primary Logo
The InComm logo is made up of two
components: The logo mark and the word mark.
The "swoosh" logo mark is brought forward from
our brand past and is symbolic of our 3 core
audiences: Retailers, Brands and Consumers.
The word mark has been given a modern tone to
reflect our commitment to technology innovation.
These two components are always placed in a
fixed relationship and should never be altered, or
modified in any way. The logo featured here is
considered the primary mark to be used in printed
and digital material.

* NOTE: The clear space is defined by the x height = to the height of the "i" in the logo.
No text, images or other elements should breach the clear space unless authorized by Marketing.

An alternate, horizontal version of the InComm
logo is suitable for use in applications where there
are height restrictions and using the Primary Logo
would lead to design conflict. The alternate logo is
available upon request.
