Color
Black version - Use on lighter colored backgrounds. 
Reverse version - Use on darker colored backgrounds. 
Clear Space
To enhance it's visual effectiveness, proper margin (clear space) allowances around the (mt) Media Temple Inc. logo must be maintained. The "x" height of the logotype was chosen as the standard unit of measure for calculating clear space and other size and positioning requirements. The logo should be separated on all sides from all other copy, photos, or illustrations by a clear margin area of at least one "x" height measurement as shown above. When using the vertical version of the logo an additional 1/2 "x" should be used for the bottom margin so that the logotype is not crowded by other design elements. This guideline is a minimum, often greater space is desirable.
