01.1 LOGO USAGE

PRIMARY LOGOMARK

The primary mark of the Denver Broncos is the Bronco head. This is our preferred mark. The logo should be used on a white or light background for maximum impact and clarity. Choose background colors or photos that provide sufficient contrast with the logo.

The primary and secondary one color logomarks should only be used in Broncos Orange, Broncos Blue, White and Black. Each logo should be used on a background that provides sufficient contrast with the logo.

The black and white primary logomark should be used at the discretion of the creative team. It should be used on a background that offers maximum impact and clarity.

EXCLUSIVE / OFFICIAL

When a partner has the “Exclusive Partner” designation, the partner has the option to either have a custom logo created with the Broncos logo incorporated or have a standard lockup with the Broncos logo.

 

Custom logos are a collaborative effort and will be routed to the participating partner for approval. Following the partner’s initial approval the Broncos will not seek approval on the mark’s use going forward unless the mark has been altered.

PROUD PARTNER

When a partner has the “Proud Partner” designation, the “Proud Partner of the Denver Broncos” copy would ideally either divide the Broncos and the partner logo along with two horizontal lines or be directly below the Broncos Logo. There is a standard of a 1:1 ratio between the Bronco logo and the partner logo. The Bronco logo should ideally have equal or greater representation when present with partner logos.
