Brand Integrity

Logo Usage Rules: Dos & Don'ts

To maintain the credibility, recognition, and stature of Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre, adhere strictly to these usage standards across print and digital media.

Always Do

Approved practices for accurate logo presentation

  • ✓Use the official high-resolution PNG vector-grade assets provided in this manual.
  • ✓Preserve the exact aspect ratio (5:2 for primary lockup, 1:1 for square mark).
  • ✓Maintain adequate clear space around the logo equal to at least 20% of its total height.
  • ✓Pair the logo exclusively with the official Roboto typeface for accompanying typography.
  • ✓Use the full logo against high-contrast, clean backgrounds for maximum legibility.
  • ✓Accompany with the statutory line: 'A Govt. of Karnataka Undertaking' when in formal print.

Never Do

Strictly prohibited treatments that violate BBC brand identity

  • ✕Do not stretch, squash, tilt, or distort the proportions of the logo.
  • ✕Do not change the logo colors, gradients, or rearrange individual symbol elements.
  • ✕Do not place the logo on busy, low-contrast, or cluttered photographic backgrounds.
  • ✕Do not add heavy drop shadows, outer glows, bevels, 3D extrusions, or outlines.
  • ✕Do not recreate the logo using third-party fonts, clip art, or modified symbol shapes.
  • ✕Do not place unauthorized company slogans or non-approved text inside the logo bounding box.
  • ✕Do not use generative AI tools to synthesize, hallucinate, or auto-render the BBC logo on banners, pamphlets, or social collateral.
Mandatory Compliance AdvisoryAI-Generated Creatives & Brand Preservation

“When generative AI tools (such as Midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, Canva Magic, and automated social banner creators) attempt to produce marketing imagery, the official Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre (BBC) emblem, typography, color gradient, and statutory government wording become distorted, mutated, altered, or disfigured.

Strictly Prohibited: Never use generative AI tools to automatically produce pamphlets, flyers, banners, social media creatives, backdrop graphics, or marketing collateral that attempt to generate or synthesize the BBC logo. Any image, banner, or document bearing an AI-hallucinated or synthetic BBC logo is completely unapproved, non-compliant, and strictly invalid.

The BBC logo must only and always be placed manually using the authentic, unmodified high-resolution PNG or vector master assets provided in this official brand manual, strictly maintaining all clear space, aspect ratio, and background contrast rules.”

✕
Prohibited Practice:

Prompting AI platforms to generate “a conference banner with Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre logo” or using generative fill on logo boundaries.

✓
Approved Practice:

Generate background artwork or layouts independently, then manually overlay official BBC logo files with verified clear space as specified in Section 2.
