This is our primary logo and expected to be leveraged in most cases unless otherwise directed.
The NEXTDC logo is also available in versions that include a tagline or an acronym.
When choosing an an acronym or tagline style, the underline set should be considered the primary version.
Use cases:
Reports
Covers
Presentations
The angled set of the acronym and tagline should be considered the secondary version.
Use cases:
T-shirt designs or merch
When vertical space is limited, and the underline style will not work
To ensure legibility of the acronym or tagline, you must ensure the overall logo lockup (logo and acronym or tagline) meets these minimum size requirements, otherwise the acronym or tagline will be illegible on screen or when printed. If your use case of the logo with acronym and tagline does not meet these requirements you must use the logo without the acronym or tagline.

Logo + Tagline – lockup must be 1.35 in. high or taller
Logo + Acronym – lockup must be 1.35 in. high or taller
Angle Version
Logo + Tagline – lockup must be 1.25 in. high or taller
