Light page defining GitHub-plus-partner co-branding lockups using Microsoft, showing default, stacked, and horizontal lockup templates with equal optical sizing.
Summary
A co-branding page defining how GitHub locks up with a partner logo, using Microsoft as the example across default, stacked, and horizontal lockup templates.
Visual description
Light grey background. Left column: bold "We evaluate each cobranding opportunity individually" heading and grey copy directing teams to the GitHub Brand Studio for approval. The right area shows three labeled templates: LOCKUP (Microsoft squares plus Invertocat with a plus sign), STACKED LOCKUP (Microsoft wordmark over GitHub wordmark, marked as the last choice), and HORIZONTAL LOCKUP (Microsoft plus GitHub full logo, annotated "partner's logo, equal optical size" and "GitHub's full logo").
Key takeaway
The partner-lockup template set with a literal plus sign and an "equal optical size" rule so neither brand dominates. Flagging the stacked version as the last resort sets a clear preference order.
Reuse notes
Reference for any co-branding or partnership lockup system. The optical-balance rule and approval routing are the load-bearing pieces to carry over.
