Using the logos

## A few rules _keep it looking right._

- Do
    
    ### Match the version to the background
    
    Use the ink logo on light backgrounds and the white logo on dark ones. The preview above shows which one reads.
    
- Do
    
    ### Keep it at least 120px wide
    
    That is the smallest size our own sites show the wordmark at, on phones.
    
- Do
    
    ### Use the symbol only where space is tight
    
    App icons and avatars, where PubliWrite is already named nearby.
    
- Don't
    
    ### Stretch, squash or rotate it
    
    Scale the logo by its height and let the width follow.
    
- Don't
    
    ### Recolour the purple mark
    
    Its gradient is part of the logo, so leave it as the file has it.
    
- Don't
    
    ### Place it on the brand purple or a busy photo
    
    The purple mark disappears there. Give it a plain white or ink background.
    

Colour

## Purple is the signature. _Cream and warm greys set the page._

Purple belongs to the logo mark. The marketing pages sit on white, warm grey and cream, and each part of the journey has its own colour: blue for writing, rose for design, green for publishing. Click a value to copy it.
