Element Arrangements 2:1 Ratio The Elite Dealer Crest and Arcoaire Logo To ensure brand recognition and consistency, the Elite Dealer crest must always appear in context with the Arcoaire logo. The way it is displayed can, however, vary greatly depending on circumstance. If the Elite Dealer crest and the Arcoaire logo are within the clear zone of one another, they must never be stacked vertically. Rather, the original artwork file (.ai,.eps, or hi-res raster image) must be used. This ensures that the Elite Dealer crest and Arcoaire logo are in the standardized lock-up arrangement. If the two elements are not arranged within each other s clear zones, each individual element must maintain its own clear zone and both elements must be displayed above minimum size as explained on pg 5. ex: Elite Dealer emphasized over Arcoaire When separated, the two elements should be used in a way that is balanced. No layout should ever have both elements aligned to the same side and the elements should have a clear size difference, (height ratio of at least 2:1) depending on whether the layout s objective is to emphasize the Elite Dealer status or the Arcoaire brand itself. Horizontal Arrangement Only 6
Apparel Use White Apparel Logos For Apparel Printing & Embroidering For consistent and crisp apparel production, all apparel should be printed using the apparel version of the logo, which omits the cross hatching in the crest, using PMS colors when possible. The Arcoaire logo and Elite Dealer crest must never be printed on apparel side-by-side. One of the two elements can be on the back or side, with each unique arrangement being determined on a case-by-case basis. Full-Color Apparel Logos For dark clothing, the white apparel versions of the Elite Dealer crest and Arcoaire logo should be used, while on light clothing the full-color apparel versions apply.
