Our Logo
The Christian Brothers Logo is an instantly recognizable symbol of our brand. It must be used on all brand communications. Our logo is comprised of two elements: the CB Glyph and the Christian Brothers Automotive logotype. The Christian Brothers logo appears in three variations: the CB Glyph (as a standalone), and the CB Full Wordmark (CB Glyph with logotype) in vertical and horizontal orientations. When possible the CB Glyph should be used first.
The CB Full Wordmark
The full wordmark appears in two orientations.
Vertical
Horizontal
Clearspace
The clear space zone between the logo and other graphic elements (e.g., type, images, other logos) ensures the logo is unobstructed and separated from any other graphic elements.
Clearspace is equivalent to the height of the CB Glyph.
Clearspace Exceptions
Logo clearspace can deviate in accordance with the following examples.
Color
The logo should appear as positive or negative. When presented as positive it should always appear as a solid color and in Legacy Green first, or as negative (knockout to white) when applied over color, photography, or motion elements.
Scale
Our logo is designed to scale to small sizes on print and screen.
Glyph minimum size: 12 pixels tall/.175 inch tall/.445 millimeter tall.Example is for illustrative purposes only and is not to scale.
Full Logo Vertical minimum size: 50 pixels tall/0.6944 inch tall/17.63776 millimeters tall.

Iconography
Christian Brothers Icons are illustrative, expressive, and visually descriptive. They use a consistent line weight mixed with fills. The icons should feel substantial, but not tight or dense in any specific area. In addition to the base “hero” icons an extended stock library is available to use.
Typography
The Christian Brothers brand uses two typefaces: Crimson Text regular and semibold; and Montserrat in regular, medium, bold, extra-bold and black.Where possible Crimson Text Semi-Bold should be used first. Both font families are available for use under the Open Font License and hosted for free on Google Fonts. Please contact our helpdesk if you are experiencing any issues while installing fonts.
