+
+---
+
+## 8. Logo Do's and Don'ts
+
+### ✅ DO:
+
+- Use the circular emblem for small spaces (favicons, profile pics)
+- Use the dark logo for most web applications

+- Keep clear space around logos (20px minimum)
+- Use PNG format with transparency
+
+### ❌ DON'T:
+
+- Don't rotate or skew the logos
+- Don't change the color balance or gradient
+- Don't add effects (drop shadows, outer glows) not in the original
+- Don't place logos on busy backgrounds (reduces readability)
+- Don't use low-resolution versions for large displays
+- Don't crop the circular emblem into a square
+- Don't stretch or distort logos
+
+---
+
