Color Versions

When communicating "I market MasterCard products and programs" or "I issue MasterCard cards," in print or on-screen, use the color version of the Brand Mark whenever possible.


Elements

The color versions of the MasterCard® Brand Mark shown here are produced using different methods, but all include the same five essential elements: the Interlocking Circles Device, the MasterCard name in custom lettering, the MasterCard Drop Shadow, the registered trademark symbols, and the minimum free space area.


  1. Match Colors

    The match color version of the MasterCard Brand Mark is preferred for reproduction in all print media when the brand does not signify acceptance, and is required when the Brand Mark is printed in color on cards.


  2. Process Colors

    The four-color process version of the MasterCard Brand Mark may be used when match colors are not available.


  3. RGB Colors

    The RGB color version of the MasterCard Brand Mark must be used for Web sites and all other on-screen applications. Hexadecimal values are provided to assist with color matching of other text to the Brand Mark.


Minimum Size

Because of reproduction limitations, minimum sizes for the Brand Marks have been created for print and on-screen use. Standards provided for minimum size must be followed carefully. Authorized artwork can be downloaded from this site.


Background Colors

The Brand Marks may be used on a wide range of background colors provided there is sufficient contrast between the background color and the Brand Mark.


Avoiding Common Mistakes

Consistent reproduction of the MasterCard Brand Mark is vital for recognition. Common mistakes have a negative impact on the MasterCard brand.


Special Considerations
