Usage Highlights (taken from the rule)

Basic Logotype Types and Abbreviations

The Digital Agency logotype consists of the "basic form," which consists of two lines, and the "abbreviated form," which can be either Japanese - or English-only. Please use the appropriate form according to the area of the media on which it is posted or displayed.

Basic (2-line Japanese / English)

As a general rule, use the Basic Form (2-line Japanese / English) unless there are particular restrictions.
"Digital Agency" is printed in large black letters on a white background, with "Digital Agency" written below. This is the official logo of Digital Agency. Vertical layout with Japanese and English text arranged in two columns.

Abbreviations (Japanese / English only)

The Japanese-only or English-only abbreviated logotype may be used only if the media on which the logotype is displayed or posted is too small to use the basic Japanese-English composite version and if the content is intended only for Japanese - or English-speaking audiences.
On a white background, "Digital Agency" is vertically arranged in the upper part, a small "or" in the center, and "Digital Agency" in the lower part. Illustration of the logo indicating that abbreviations in Japanese and English can be used.

Isolation

To prevent being identified with or confused with other visual elements, keep an isolation area (an area that separates the logo from other elements) and do not place any other visual elements in it.

The standard size of the isolation area differs depending on whether it is an English-only abbreviation or a basic one that includes Japanese. Each defined spacer is placed at the four corners of the smallest rectangle (bounding box) that encloses the logotype body, and the area indicated by the smallest rectangle that encloses all of them is defined as the isolation area.

In addition, when displaying and printing the logo, if this isolation area alone is insufficient, please give sufficient consideration to separate other elements such as characters and figures as much as possible to ensure proper visibility.

Basic forms and abbreviations that contain Japanese words

Spacer

For the basic logotype and the abbreviated logotype only in Japanese, use the width that ignores the voiced sound mark of "de" in katakana as "standard size A," and use a square made up of sides half that length as a spacer.
On a white background, the large katakana character "de" is displayed on the left, and the width of the character is indicated by a red arrow as the full-width alphabet "A". On the right, there is a light pink square with the half-width alphabet "a" written on it, and a red arrow and dimension line indicate that the width and height are respectively "A/2". Figure showing the spacer for the basic form including Japanese and for the abbreviated form.

Isolation area of the basic form

"Digital Agency" is printed in large black letters on a white background, with "Digital Agency" written in English below. A light pink square with the letter "a" is placed at each corner of the logo, with a solid red border around the entire logo and a dotted red border around the logo text. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an isolation area of a basic form including Japanese and a basic form in the case of an abbreviated form;

Abbreviated (Japanese only) Isolation Area

Only the Japanese logo of "Digital Agency" is displayed on a white background. A light pink square with the half-width alphabet "a" is placed at each corner of the logo, and a solid red outer frame surrounding the entire logo and a dotted red inner frame surrounding the logo text are shown. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an isolation area of a basic form including Japanese and an abbreviated form (Japanese only) in the case of an abbreviated form.

For abbreviations in English only

Spacer

For abbreviated English-only logotypes, use the height of the capital letter "D" as "reference size A," a square with sides that are 1 / 1.5 of the height as "spacer a," and a rectangle that is 5 / 6 the width of spacer a as "spacer b."
On a white background, the large full-width letter "D" is displayed on the left, with a red arrow indicating the height of the letter as the full-width letter "A". On the right are two boxes, one top and one bottom. The top box shows a light pink square with the half-width letter "a" ("A/1.5" wide and "A/1.5" high), and the bottom box shows a light purple square with the half-width letter "b" ("5A/9" wide and "A/1.5" high). Figure showing the spacer for abbreviations in English only.

Abbreviated (English only) Isolation Area

Unlike the Japanese-only abbreviations, the English-only abbreviations logotype requires visual correction and therefore uses different spacers on the left and right sides. Use "Spacer a" on the left side and "Spacer b" on the right side.
Only the English "Digital Agency" logo is displayed on a white background. A light pink square with the letter "a" in the two left-hand corners of the logo and a light purple square with the letter "b" in the two right-hand corners of the logo, with a solid red outer border around the entire logo and a dotted red inner border around the logo text. Figure showing the Abbreviations (English only) isolation area for English-only abbreviations.

The minimum size for the basic form is 50 CSS pixels high or 9 mm, and the minimum size for the abbreviated form is 20 CSS pixels high or 3.5 mm.
The vertical Digital Agency / Digital Agency logo on a white background is shown as "50 px / 9 mm" in the top row with a red arrow and text, and "Digital Agency" (Japanese only) and "Digital Agency" (English only) are shown as "20 px / 3.5 mm" in the bottom row.
