Logo Standards

The DroidBuilders logo is the single most recognizable asset in our brand system. Consistent, correct use builds recognition and protects brand equity across every touchpoint -- from social media profiles to convention banners.

Never recreate, redraw, or modify the logo. Always use approved source files. Contact the Board of Directors if you need a format not available in the asset library.

Primary Logo (Standalone)

The full DroidBuilders logo is the default organizational mark. Use it wherever the full organization name should be communicated clearly.

Preferred Formats	SVG (all digital use), EPS (print production)
When to Use	Corporate communications, advertising, national marketing, website headers, partnership materials
Approved Color Versions	Full color on white or light backgrounds; reversed (white logo) on dark or photographic backgrounds; single-color black for embroidery and single-color print

Medallion

The DroidBuilders medallion is used across all tiers of the organization. Appropriate for both sector-level and national-level applications. Preferred for embroidery and screen printing on merchandise.

Sector, Region & Zone Logos

Sector logos are approved marks for local area clubs where direct community outreach most often occurs. Sector logos are always used alongside -- never as a replacement for -- the national DroidBuilders logo on any material representing the broader organization.

Approved Sector Logos (add links as logos are approved):

• BlackSun Sector
• Los Angeles Sector
• MidAtlantic Sector
• NorthEast Sector
• San Diego Sector

Clear Space

Clear space is the protected zone around the logo that must remain free of all text, logos, imagery, and graphic elements.

Rule: The minimum clear space on all four sides equals half the height of the logo as rendered.

Example: if the logo is displayed at 100px tall, maintain at least 50px of clear space on all four sides.
