Master Logo - Preferred
This is the most commonly used version of our logo. We encourage the use of this logo, before any other version, if this is to be used on a white background.
Do not use this version of the logo on a background other than white.
Master Logo - Flat
The flat version of the logo may be used in circumstances such as 1 color print jobs or in cases where the gradient version will not read well. Do not use this version of the logo on a background other than white.
Isolated Master Logo
The NMHC acronym mark can be used alone in cases where the Council’s full name is mentioned in close proximity to the mark or when space is limited. Do not use this version of the logo on a background other than white.
White Logo (Highly recommended)
This logo is the best version to include in your materials as it provides a more coherent way to use the NMHC brand in conjunction with your own.
