Using the mark
- Clear space: keep space around the mark equal to the height of one star on every side.
- Minimum size: the full mark at 48 pixels or 12 mm wide. Below that, use the small-size cut, which removes the stars so the shape stays readable; it is labeled as an optical variant, not the master.
- Grounds: the full-color mark on paper, white, or night navy. On photographs or busy grounds, use the one-color version.
- Contrast: the one-color mark needs at least 3 to 1 contrast with its ground.
- The line travels with the name: wherever "Democratic Republican Party" appears as a brand, "Leave left and right at the door." sits beside or under it where there is room.
Never
- Never present the dolphin as a historical emblem, add a founding date to it, or style it as an official seal.
- Never pair it with "National Committee", certification marks, or anything that imitates a party committee seal.
- Never recolor the full-color mark, remove or move the stars on the master, stretch it, rotate it, or add effects.
- Never use it to endorse a candidate, a party, or a campaign.
About the files
The master artwork is a raster image approved as final. The SVG files are a vector trace of it, measured against the original for shape and color; the trace and its fidelity record are included in the kit. Print PDFs are RGB; a printer's proof is needed before any CMYK or spot-color run.
