The O'Reilly Logotype Guidelines for Use
The O'Reilly logotype is one of the primary trademarks of O'Reilly Media, Inc, and its use is particularly prescribed. The logotype is, a registered trademark of the company. When using the logo in any form, it must always be used with the (R) symbol, unless it is at such a small size that the (R) symbol would not be legible. The (R) symbol may be adjusted for use at different sizes.
This is the official O'Reilly logotype:
The O'Reilly logotype, as the sole logo identifier of the company, may only be used in connection with the business and products of the company. Its use on unofficial articles of clothing, novelty items, and the like, is not permitted. Questions concerning the use of the logotype or the official company name should be directed to
Color Guidelines
This is a two-color or two-tone mark, and must always be shown that way. The apostrophe is always a different color or tint than the letters OREILLY. If shown in full color, it is preferred that the apostrophe be PMS 200C (red) and the letters spelling OREILLY be either white or black, depending on the background color.
Attribution guidelines
The ® mark must appear on the upper right on all appearances. Attribution language must appear on any promotional, advertising, or marketing piece in type no smaller than 6 points: "The O'Reilly logo is a registered trademark of O'Reilly Media, Inc. Used with permission."
Web Site Use:
When using this logotype on a web site please have it link back to http://www.oreilly.com
Positioning
To maintain its visual integrity, the O'Reilly logotype should usually appear to "float" in an open area, free and separate from any surrounding detail. No typographic information may be placed any closer to the logo at the top and bottom than the dimension of the distance between the O and the R of the logotype, and no closer than twice this dimension at either end. You may, however, place the logo on top of a background image, provided that the logotype remains clear and legible.
General Cautions Regarding the Use of the O'Reilly Logotype:
- Do not change the typefaces in the logotype.
- Do not alter or deform the shape of the logotype.
- Do not print the logoype in more than 2 colors; the apostrophe must always appear in a different color or tint than the letters OREILLY.
- Do not use the logotype as part of a headline or sentence, unless the entire headline or sentence is in Gill Sans, formatted to match the size and style of the logotype. (This type of treatment should be the exception, not the rule.)
- Do not add ruled lines or a box around the logotype
