Four golden rules

1

Use our files

Download the logo from this page. Never redraw it, retype it or take it from a screenshot.

2

Pick the right colour

Ink (dark) on light backgrounds, cream or white on dark backgrounds and photos.

3

Leave it alone

No stretching, rotating, recolouring, shadows or outlines, and keep space around it.

4

Spell it right

Beira Network: two words, capital B and N. In Portuguese: a Beira Network.

SVG for the web, PDF and EPS for print (vector), PNG with a transparent background for everything else. The PNG number is the width in pixels.

Guidelines

Stacked64 px18 mm
Symbol20 px6 mm

Below these sizes, use the symbol alone.

Beira Network is a non-profit business network dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and development in the rural regions of Portugal.
