The Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce Logo and Link Guidelines


These guidelines are given in order to ensure that all Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce logos are used appropriately in all applications. This is vital to the development in the public’s mind of this identity with The Chamber. It is necessary that these guidelines are followed by those who are involved with preparing printed, visual and “new media” communications for The Chamber and Chamber members. The Chamber staff is committed to projecting this consistent identity. As some logos are new, you may wish to consult with the marketing/communications department regarding your various uses of the logo. Please contact Polly Welden at pwelden@cscc.org if you have any questions or if you need other versions of logos.

Incorrect Application of the Logo


The following key principles apply when using The Chamber or Chamber member logos:

  • Do not alter or modify the mark in any way. Ensure the mark is reproduced from art provided by The Chamber. Do not add any tag lines or other descriptors to the mark.
  • Do not use the logo within text. The logo should always stand alone. Do not change the typesetting or style of the logo.
  • Do not rotate, distort or reshape the logo. Be especially aware of this when importing the mark into different programs and when reducing the size. Please ensure that the horizontal and vertical scale are reduced or enlarged equally.


PMS Color


The PMS colors used for our mark are as follows:

  • Blue is 297U
  • Gray is 425U
  • Yellow is 1215U


Background


The preferred background color is white or black. Requests for exceptions must be approved by The Chamber.

Protected Area


In order to ensure that The Chamber logo is not infringed upon, there is a protected area surrounding the logo. Draw an imaginary rectangle around the logo. This represents the minimum distance between The Chamber mark and all neighboring graphic elements. The area contained within this rectangle is protected. No text, graphic elements, trade names, trademarks, symbols, logos, marks, emblems, or service marks may intrude upon this protected area.

Font


In both versions of The Chamber logo, the font type is Adobe Caslon Pro for the “The Chamber” text and Bell Gothic Std for the “Your Chamber…Our Future” portion.

Link Usage


In order to protect our identity and our members, we do not allow any mark, logo, or any other Chamber identifying image to be used by anyone other than members without previous consent. We ask that all Chamber members using the member logo on a website (and/or any other online digital document) provide an image link back to the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce home page. We also ask that whenever the initial image link to our page is created that we are contacted either by email, phone or fax that we may continue to evaluate the effectiveness and context of use in relation to our mark. Any other questions can be directed towards the contacts below.
