Hello Everyone,
I'm working on a new template for our team's site. The idea I'm currently playing with has a yellowish header and sidebar where the FIRST logo would fit perfectly (see
here). I read the
guidelines and the two things that might be a problem are the background and the space around the logo:
Quote:

Do not obscure and weaken our logos by placing them on visually active background patterns, strong textures or incompatible shades of color.

Quote:
Logo protected area:
Focus and strong visual impact are achieved by keeping a “quiet” space around our logos. The minimum protected area, or clear space, is determined by the height of the letters within the logo shown as “X” in the diagram on
this page.
|
Unfortunately, the manual doesn't give a number for how large the quiet zone should be.
You can see a screenshot of what I'm talking about here. Does it look like the FIRST logo is OK to you?

And...for official advice, any idea who should I email at FIRST for clarification?
Thank you!
