The MasterCard Interlocking Circles Device

The MasterCard Interlocking Circles Device, a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated, is a feature common to the MasterCard family of Brand Marks. This distinguishing device enhances the visual link between our brands.

The "MasterCard" Name in Custom Lettering

The "MasterCard" brand name is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated. It is comprised of custom-drawn letterforms, in a size relationship designed to heighten the impact of the MasterCard brand. This custom-drawn artwork must not be altered in any way.

The Registered Trademark Symbols

In the grayscale version, the ® trademark symbols (or their local law equivalents) must be used. It is permissible to remove the ® symbols if production issues will produce illegible results.

Minimum Free Space

The MasterCard Brand Mark is a valuable asset that always must appear in an uncluttered space free of text, taglines, logotypes, shapes, and strong background patterns. Always surround the Brand Mark with sufficient free space, which at a minimum must equal one-half the height of one of the circles in the Brand Mark.

NOTE: Unlike color versions of the Brand Mark, the grayscale version has no MasterCard Drop Shadow.
