Unacceptable Use

The PALNI visual identity must not be distorted in any way. Distortion includes any modification to the logo (other than size or approved colour variations) that would alter its original design by adding to, or removing, elements.

The logo will always appear on a horizontal axis. It must not be tilted or placed at any alternate angle, nor should it be placed in a shape.

  • Use only the approved color palette when reproducing the logo.
  • Logo colors cannot be reversed.
  • Use only the approved typeface when reproducing the logo.
