BRAND

Reference this Brand Guide for typeface, colors and photography guide.

Logo Usage

Participant organizations are encouraged to use the CAN logo on their branded materials.

Co-branding shows a partnership between CAN and another participant and represents an exchange of credibility between brands. We use co-branded logos where both brands have ownership, like a collaborative whitepaper or presentation related to our partnership. Before you use a co-branded logo, it is your responsibility to obtain and understand the right permissions from CAN and the participant organization.
