It is the typographic portion ofthe combination mark and consists of the typeset characters inour name. Its function is that of a supporting device, meant to beloosely paired with the yogo or employed as a graphic element(e.g., product graphics). It must only be used with the approvalof a brand creative director. The logomark, or yogo as it is known internally, is our secondarylogo. It is the graphic portion of the combination mark and consistsof an omega symbol within a red circle.

It is important to ensure adequate clear space on all sidesof the yogo and prevent any other graphic elements fromcoming too close. This spacing should always be givento let the mark breathe, free from distraction. As a rule,the minimum clear space around the yogo is equal to theyogo's width/height.
