Wordmark placement and color rules

Summary

A logo-rules page: two numbered rules on placement and color at left, beside a numbered stationery mockup on olive (1) and a grid showing the DIA monogram on every accent background (2).

Visual description

Charcoal background with the thin olive top band. "WORDMARK" sits top-left in cream sans over two numbered paragraphs: (1) the logo may sit in any of four corners or on the half-points of width or height, and (2) the logo must be Charcoal or Gesso except when used as a pattern, with pairing rules for colored backgrounds. The right column shows photo (1): a letterhead and two envelopes on an olive field, the stationery cream with faint golden-rectangle curves; and grid (2): a 5x2 arrangement of the "DIA" monogram on Charcoal, Deep Red, Light Purple, Teal, Gesso, Light Blue, Medium Yellow, and a multi-colored pattern tile. The standard footer runs below.

Key takeaway

Pairing placement geometry (corners and half-points) with a real stationery system in one shot, then proving legibility by tiling the mark across every brand color. The pattern exception (multi-color mark) is shown, not just described.

Reuse notes

A thorough logo-usage page covering both placement logic and color-on-color legibility. The accent-grid test is a clean way to validate a mark against a broad palette. Reusable for any identity that must hold up across many background colors and on stationery.
