Moss Miata Logo
The Moss Miata logo incorporates the Moss Block as its focal element, with the addition of Moss Miata branding. There are vertical and horizontal versions of the logo, as shown in "Logo Variations" below, for different display purposes.
Logotype
This logotype was created using a custom typeface. It has been converted to outlines, so you do not need this font for reproduction.
Logo Sizing & Ratio
When adjusting the size of the logo, make sure it is sized proportionally.
Clear Space
Clear space maintains the Moss Block’s integrity. If the minimum clear space is not applied, the logo’s impact is compromised. The clear space is determined by the width of the “M” in the Moss Block. Do not allow any graphic elements, such as copy, images, or background patterns, to infringe upon this area.
Minimum Acceptable Size
The Moss Block must always be legible and appear crisp in print, with sharp edges and a high resolution. It is important to consider the limitations of various media when sizing the Moss Block. The minimum acceptable size is 0.5 inches, 3 picas, or 12.7 millimeters in height.
Logo Integrity
In order to preserve consistency with our identity, never attempt to recreate or change the logo.
The proportions and position of the block to the logotype should never be altered. Do not skew, stretch, rotate, or violate clear space.
Logo Variations
Depending on the use case, we have some acceptable variations of the Moss Miata logo. Horizontal and vertical versions shown.
