Solid & Outline Versions

The solid and outline versions of the MasterCard Brand Mark have the most varied acceptable applications. Special care must be taken to understand and use these marks correctly.


The solid and outline versions of the MasterCard® Brand Mark were developed for use at very small sizes and for limited one-color applications. These versions also may be used for special reproduction methods like etching, embossing, or embroidering.


Elements

The solid and outline versions of the MasterCard Brand Mark include these four essential elements: the Interlocking Circles Device, the MasterCard name in custom lettering, the registered trademark symbols, and the minimum free space area.


Solid & Outline Color

The match color version of the MasterCard Brand Mark is preferred for reproduction in all print media. The solid and outline versions of the MasterCard Brand Mark are acceptable alternates for limited use by merchants to communicate "brand acceptance" on sales receipts and one-color ads. The solid and outline versions must not be used on cards or acceptance decals and signs.


Minimum Sizes

Because of reproduction limitations, minimum sizes for the Brand Marks have been created for print use. Standards provided for minimum sizes 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.
