Room to breathe

The DigiKey logo is the primary identifier for our brand. By providing ample whitespace around our logo, we make it easy for audiences to identify us.

Digikey is a red brand. In most applications, our logo should be associated with our brand Red-either through the logo or the background.

Logo legibility

Follow these key principles to help you use our logo.


Clear space

Clear space separates our logo from other elements and distances it from the edges of a page or screen. In most applications the clear space for the DigiKey logo is equal to the width of the D or larger.

For special applications- when the logo is the primary visual element-it may touch or be cropped by the edges of a layout.

Our Name

In keeping with the more contemporary aesthetic of the logo, our name should simply be displayed as ‘DigiKey’ when displayed in text. The word ‘Electronics’ should no longer be used in conjunction with our name as it has been seen previously.

Color


The DigiKey logo may be applied over a variety of backgrounds, including color and imagery. The key considerations when using our logo are visibility and legibility.

As a general rule, the DigiKey logo should be associated with our brand Red-either in the foreground or as the background color. When full-color reproduction is unavailable or limited (e.g. stamping, embossing, staining), an all-black logo may be used.
