Use of the Bloomberg logo

Bloomberg want to use the images in adverts with their logo on.  The brief sets out clear guidlines for how the logo should be applied.  I added the logo to some images to see how it would work.

·         The Bloomberg logo should be - legible, clear and noticeable against any background.
·         The Bloomberg logo should never be placed inside of a holding shape.
·         Prefrerred logo colours are WHITE AND YELLOW.  These colors can be interchanged based on legibility.  BLACK AND GRAY- A black logo should only be used with yellow or white and light photographic backgrounds. A gray logo should only be used on white backgrounds (i.e., stationery).
·         The Bloomberg logo can be placed on top of various backgrounds: solid colour, colour gradient mesh, and image
·         The logo should be prominent wherever it is used.
·         The logo can be used vertically or horizontally. At its maximum size, the logo can be as wide as the format–at a tangent with the format’s edges. Never use the logo at a size smaller than half a format’s width vertically or horizontally
·         When the Bloomberg logo is positioned vertically, it should always be reading up (i.e., the “g” should always be at the top).
·         Placement of the logo on a page is flexible as long as it is active, impactful and legible. It can be anchored to type but shouldn’t overlap.
·         The primary typeface is:     BERTHOLD AKZIDENZ GROTESK BOLD
·         The secondary font is Arial, bold and regular.
Here are some trial edits.  They were all edited in Lightroom as follows:
  • Sharpen portrait preset
  • Direct positive preset
  • Square crop applied
  • Clarity and Vibrance increased - each image adjusted individually
then opened in Phootshop and the Bloomberg logo added - font used is Ariel as Bertolhd Akzidenz not available in photoshop:
Horizontal logo (all half-size)







Vertical logo (large and half-size)
