To properly stage the logo, a minimum clearance between the
logo and other elements must be maintained. The X height
indicates the measurement of minimum clearance between
the shield and other elements.
Use the blue versions on light or white backgrounds. The
reverse shield may be used on dark color backgrounds, as well
as dark areas within photographs. Approved blue backgrounds
are recommended.
A black or white (reversed on dark background) shield is allowed
when media reproduction is black only.

excede below 20-percent transparency.
The ‘S’ Shield must be used in tandem with the Sophos logo
somewhere within the design.
