Media Kit

Official HELSE logos, visual identity and usage rules — for journalists, partners, sponsors and collaborators. Everything in one place.

v1.0 — updated August 2026

Clearspace

Clearspace = x

x = the height of one square module of the mark

No text, other logos, edges or graphics may sit inside the clearspace. For the logo with a descriptor, clearspace is measured from the outermost edges of the lockup.
