While the full color logo is preferred, certain applications may require an alternate version due to limitations in media reproduction. The following versions are available for those situations.

Color & White

If it is necessary to place the logo over a dark background, use this Color Logo & White Text version.

Black & White

If your media is limited to black and white colors, use this Black & White version.

All White

If it is necessary to place the logo over a solid color background, use this All White version.
