The Sphere Project logo may be used to identify products
and activities related to the Sphere Handbook and
developed by the Sphere community – that is, organizations
and individuals committed to the Sphere principles and
standards.
However, certain conditions apply:
• the authorship of these products needs to be clearly
identified and prominently displayed so as not to imply
endorsement by the Sphere Project office;
• the logo cannot be used in any way that might suggest
endorsement by the Sphere Project office (please consult
the Sphere Project office in case of doubt);
• the logo cannot be reproduced alone on the cover
of publications (print or electronic) websites or other
products (please consult the Sphere Project office in case
of doubt);
• the logo cannot be used for commercial purposes nor
be displayed on items designated for sale without prior
agreement by the Sphere Project office;
• the logo cannot be used in business cards, letterheads or
personal websites.
How not to use the logo
The logo should not be reproduced in any way that alters it
or causes its deterioration. In particular, avoid:
• stretching, distorting or condensing it;
• altering the proportions between logotype, tagline and
logomark;
• modifying the colour specifications;
• altering or substituting the Myriad typeface;
• reproducing the logo from a photocopy, facsimile,
printed sample or anything other than the approved
artwork files available alongside these guidelines;
• reproducing it on a busy background, like a photograph,
or on a solid background colour other than black or
