Learn the proper usage of each of Chocolatey Software's logos.

Combination Logo

The Chocolatey official logo can be presented on any colored background, however it is preferred to be used on one of the official Chocolatey Background Colors. Do not rotate the Chocolatey logo to any degree.

Logo Mark

The Chocolatey icon can be used in exchange for the main logo above in cases where size or format is restricted. The full Chocolatey logo should be used whenever possible.

Clear Space

The Chocolatey logo should always have clear space around it to maintain impact and reduce a cluttered look. Ensure the logo has at least 15px of space on every side.
