Clear-space page diagramming a .5x exclusion zone around the logotype using measurement markers and a faint repeated wordmark grid.

Summary

The clear-space page: the logotype boxed inside a measured exclusion zone defined as .5x the logo height, shown with dimension markers.

Visual description

A white content page with "Minimum Clear Space" top left and a paragraph top right stating the minimum clear space must equal .5x the height of the logo. Centered, the black "optty" logotype (with trademark) sits inside a thin rectangular boundary, with a faint, oversized repeat of the wordmark ghosted behind it as a measuring grid. Thin dimension lines and ".5x" labels run along the top, sides and bottom, marking the padding above, below and beside the mark. The footer and "012" page pill close the page.

Key takeaway

Expressing the exclusion zone as a fraction of the logo's own height (.5x) makes the rule scale-independent, and the ghosted repeat of the wordmark cleverly doubles as the measuring unit. Dimension markers on all four sides make the spacing unambiguous.

Reuse notes

A standard, essential clear-space page for any logo guideline. Defining the unit relative to the logo rather than in fixed pixels is the move to carry over so the rule holds at any size.
