Clear Space Specifications 

Clear space is the clean, unfilled space surrounding the RF logo. A critical component of the logo design, this clear space allows the logo to stand out, to be clearly read, and to remain free from the interference of other design elements, such as typography, photography, textures, colors, or other logos.

Always maintain the clear space around the logo. For The Research Foundation combination mark, this clear space is the equivalent of the elected type height, above and below the physical logo. For example, if the selected The Research  Foundation type height is 2", maintain 2" above and 2" below the logo mark as clear space, free from any design elements.
