Using the mark
Six rules, no exceptions
Do
Keep the lockup intact
Use the supplied file at any size above the minimum. The rules, the box and the letter spacing are part of the mark, not decoration around it.
Don't
Rebuild it in another typeface
The nameplate is drawn, not set. Retyping the name in a similar serif produces a mark we cannot authorise for publication.
Do
Place it on white or pale tint
White is preferred. Where a background is unavoidable, use a pale tint and keep contrast above 4.5:1.
Don't
Recolour, rotate or add effects
No gradients, shadows, outlines, or single-colour substitutions other than the supplied one-colour version. Never set the mark at an angle.
Do
Credit the source in text
Write “Montlior Wire” or “distributed by Montlior Wire” in the body, credit line or on-screen caption. Attribution in words, not only in logo form.
Don't
Imply endorsement
The mark identifies the source of a release. It must not sit beside your own branding in a way that suggests partnership, sponsorship or approval.
