Logo Usage
Our logo represents a cross section of the earth, with heat radiating outwards from the core to meet the landscape above. It represents not only the way that heat
rises up from within the earth, but the upward momentum of the geothermal industry.
Logo Lockups
It’s essential to choose the correct version of the logo for different applications based on the size and shape of the space the logo will occupy.
The primary logo lockup is the horizontal version (A). It may be used with or without the tagline. The stacked version (B) may be used if the space the logo will occupy is more vertically oriented, and should always include the tagline. The Conference logo (C) should only be used within the context of the Geothermal Rising Conference (GRC). The logo icon (D) may be used on its own only when the space it will occupy is too small for the other versions to fit, or as a decorative visual element.

Logo Color
Choose a dark or light version of the logo based on the color of the background against which it will be placed, ensuring that there is always enough contrast for the logo to be legible.
The black and white versions of the logo should be used only in applications where color is not supported or where the contrast of the full color logo will be too low.
Logo Clearance
A minimum amount of clearance must surround the logo in all applications to ensure that it is legible. This also ensures that the logo remains distinct from surrounding objects such as photography, text, or other graphic elements that may detract from it. The minimum required clear space is equal to the width of the letter 'L' within the logo.
Photography
Select crisp, high-saturation images that convey a grand sense of scale and evoke a feeling of awe in the viewer. Images should feature a diverse range of landscapes from across the globe, including urban environments. Nighttime images are encouraged, as they emphasize that geothermal energy is always on. Always select free, public domain images such as those available on Unsplash and Pexels.
