The Label

logo in a standardized, recognizable form. In most cases, it is placed
over a large photo or color field.

lines. It must stay clear of logo and not go

Color usage
The Medivators Blue is the foundation of the color system; it is used in the logo and
as the primary color in designs.
A secondary set of colors that compliment and harmonize with Medivators Blue is
available for accenting and highlights design elements, and for organization; i.e.,
color-coding product lists. Additional tertiary colors, tints and shades of the above
colors, may be used to add depth and variety to layouts.
Gradients may be built from these colors as well. In all cases, the color palette must
be limited and disciplined.
