Cream slide showing the dark Mash mark inside a dotted clearspace box with 1/2 X and X measurement callouts.
Summary
The clearspace page: the dark Mash mark sits centered inside a dotted magenta exclusion box, with "X" and "1/2 X" callouts defining the minimum clear space around it.
Visual description
Cream background. The interlocking graphic mark is centered in near-black, enclosed first by a tight dotted magenta bounding box and then by a larger dotted magenta clearspace box. Thin leader lines and labels mark the spacing: "X" measures the mark height at left, and "1/2 X" callouts mark the clear margin at top and right. A mono header sits at top: "CLEARSPACE - GRAPHIC MARK" upper-left, "LOGO FAMILY" / "BRAND GUIDELINES" upper-right.
Key takeaway
Defining clearspace as a fraction of the mark's own X dimension (here 1/2 X) keeps the exclusion zone proportional at any size. Dotted magenta boxes plus minimal "X / 1/2 X" callouts say everything with almost no text.
Reuse notes
A textbook clearspace page, reusable for any mark or wordmark. Expressing the margin as a ratio of an X unit is the durable convention worth copying. Pair it with the construction page for a complete logo-mechanics spread.
