Whenever possible, the MasterCard® Brand Mark should be printed in match colors.

The name "MasterCard", as well as the ® symbol inside the right circle, reverse out to white. The ® symbol outside the right circle is 100% MasterCard Yellow.


The MasterCard Drop Shadow is either 100% MasterCard Dark Blue or 100% black, depending on the specific application and the type of media used. For all cards, black must be specified.
