02 / Logo & signatures
A mark that stays unaltered.
The LPDP Groningen emblem — the Martinitoren rising between orange, yellow and red flames — exists in two approved variants. Use the original files, keep the proportions, and pick the variant that suits the surface.
Approved variants
Two files. No more.
Only two PNG objects on R2 are defined as the source of truth by the ecosystem logo contract. The white version only turns the tower white; the flames keep their colors and the shape is identical (alpha masks match exactly).
No SVG. No authentic vector master was found. Every LPDP Groningen SVG in the website repository only wraps the same PNG. 1024/2048/4096 px exports are not offered because the master is 638×843 px; upscaling adds no detail.
Background comparison
Check before you place it.
Background rules
The surface decides the variant.
| Surface | Normal | White |
|---|---|---|
| Paper Ivory | Right — Primary pairing for light surfaces. | Wrong — The white tower disappears on ivory. Use the normal version. |
| Clean White | Right — Approved for light surfaces. | Wrong — The white tower is invisible. |
| Firmament Navy | Wrong — The navy tower disappears on navy. Use the white version. | Right — Primary pairing for dark surfaces. |
| Charcoal Ink | Wrong — The navy tower is unreadable on charcoal. Use the white version. | Right — Usable on neutral dark surfaces. |
| Atomic Orange | Wrong — The orange flames merge into the orange background. | Wrong — The orange flames merge into the orange background. |
| Photograph | Only on a calm, even area of the photo with clear contrast. If in doubt, place the logo on a solid field outside the photo. | |
Approved Normal on light, white on navy/dark: ecosystem logo contract. The orange and photograph rows are this portal’s visual reasoning. Proposal — needs approval
Anatomy & signature
The emblem, and the name set beside it.
Anatomy
One emblem, three elements
- The Martinitoren — navy in the normal version, white in the white version.
- Layered orange, yellow and red flames — identical in both versions.
- No text inside the logo file. The name "LPDP Groningen" is not part of the image.
Observed in website code Visual description of the master file; flame colors are artwork colors, not palette tokens.
Signature
LPDPGroningen
The website lockup
LPDPGroningenThe website composes the signature live: emblem + "LPDP / Groningen" set in bold Inter Tight, navy (white on dark). It is live text, not an image file.
Observed in website code src/components/shared/logo/brand-logo.tsx. No downloadable lockup file is approved.
Clear space & size
No official numbers yet.
The logo contract requires preserving the aspect ratio, but sets no clear-space or minimum-size numbers. The figures below are proposals for approval — not rules.
Approved
Fixed ratio
Always 638 : 843. Scale proportionally only (object-fit: contain).
Proposal — needs approval
Clear space
At least ¼ of the emblem width on every side. No text, rules or other logos inside this area.
Proposal — needs approval
Minimum size
Digital: 40 px tall. Print: 15 mm tall. Code evidence: the website renders the emblem at 32×42 px at its smallest.
Do & don’t
Wrong examples exist to be recognised, not copied.
Every "Wrong" example is produced with CSS on this page from the original file. No incorrect file is downloadable or included in any asset pack.
Wrong example: a product name replacing the community logo
Wrong example: another typeface on the name
Provenance
Legacy files kept out of downloads.
A forensic audit inspected every logo candidate in the website repository. The files below are not removed from the website (outside this portal’s remit) but are not published as approved assets.
