available for use on different backgrounds. The logo is the
entire lettering (figurative mark “F in a circle”) and the
typographic addition (Friedrich Naumann Foundation for
Freedom.). The “F in a circle” is used in the design as the
“supersign”. Minimum height 20 mm (offline) large view 40 mm (offline)

any other combination.

cannot be separated from each other. If the supersign is

a magenta rectangle and can be used horizontally or
vertically. Like the other logo variants it must not be
changed.
Application
Original size 8.7 mm print
Note the vertical standard application, which is
always placed on the right side. The URL is more
at the bottom, matching the layout. However, if
this is not possible, as with a beach flag, it may be
set as high as necessary.
To get a high quality print of freiheit.org, it is
imperative to provide a protected area at the edge. In
this way, flashes and incompleteness of the edge-
dropping element can be avoided. The protected area
of the URL is marked with a dashed line and is placed
in the bleed for printed products. Large view
If it is not possible to place the element on the right
side in a layout, it may in exceptional cases also be
horizontal at the bottom.
