You can download the Ballerina logo in the formats below.
Info: In situations where the original logo can not be used on a given background or a print medium, the Ballerina inverted logo can be used.
Logo colors
The coloration of the Ballerina logo is an essential element in setting a recognizable tone and identity. Consistent use of color enhances the strength of the identity.
The primary color for the logo is a dark gray shade, which is accompanied by a vibrant teal.
These colors should be balanced by adding white and light gray to complete the palette. Although the secondary palette adds greater depth to web and interactive applications, never use it in place of the primary brand colors. Rather, use it to provide further color variations for communication.
As a rule, the Pantone colors represent the most exact matches of the brand colors and should be used primarily. The CMYK values can be used alternatively when Pantone is not available. For onscreen uses (presentations, email, and other digital applications), use the RGB values.
COLORS VARY BETWEEN PLATFORMS AND MATCHING SYSTEMS. AS A RULE, THE PANTONE COATED CHIP SHOULD BE USED AS A MASTER.

Proper uses
If your usage of the logo is within the permitted scenarios listed above, then you should follow these visual guidelines when you are displaying the Ballerina Trademarks.
1. Use ample clear space.
To ensure that the Ballerina logo is the most highly visible whenever used, it’s important to have plenty of clear space surrounding the logo. This specifically refers to graphics, type, and other elements that could clutter and distract from the identity of the logo.
All sides of the logo must have adequate clear space, which are equal to the height of the letter "B" denoted by the "X" as shown in the diagram. The clear space around the logo will need to scale proportionally to the size of the logo.
2. Use a size above the minimum.
Care must be taken in the reproduction of the Ballerina logo. At small sizes, the artwork loses integrity which reflects badly on the brand.
The minimum length should be no less than 50px (0.7 inch) and usage below 50px is not allowed. But the ideal minimum length is 75px (1.0 inch).
Ideal Small Sizes Print
75px (1.0 inch) length
Minimum Approved Sizes Print
50px (1.0 inch) length
Too Small for Print Reproduction
Below 50px (0.7 inch) length
3. Use colors based on the background.
Use the normal logo for lighter backgrounds. If the background color is darker, use the inverted logo to make it clearly visible.
Improper uses
The Ballerina logo should always be seen clearly and consistently. Altering or recreating the Ballerina logo in any way is not allowed. When using the logo, avoid the mistakes below.
1. Do not change any of the components or design elements.
