Visual logo guidelines

Our logo is connected and conveys the notion of growth through the rounded elements that emerge from one letter to the next.

As a Greenhouse Partner, you can co-brand your own assets by pairing your logo with ours. Please follow these design and visual guidelines and only use official logo files without modification.

Download logo

At the center of the Greenhouse identity is our wordmark. It’s how our audience recognizes our name and quickly associates our message with our brand. It is one of our most sacred assets.

Logo spacing

Use the width of the Greenhouse “e” as a guide for clear space when placing other elements around the wordmark.

When using the Greenhouse logo by itself, use a minimum clear space of 3 e’s around the logo.

Logo pairings

When pairing your logo with the Greenhouse logo, make sure to:

Ensure logos maintain an equal hierarchy (see guidance below)

Separate logos visually by space or a visual divider and always have the minimum clear space around them

Create a harmonious feel in relation to logo positioning, weight, proportions and scale

Below is an example of a preferred lockup

*When pairing logos horizontally, we prefer that you use the divider line. When stacking logos, we prefer you use no divider. If you’d like to use other visual divider symbols, please reach out to our Partnerships team before doing so.

Horizontal pairings

The clear space between two or more logos should be at least six e’s when paired horizontally.

Make sure to visually align the logos as best as possible in the space.

Notice in this example that the x-heights of both logos are centered within the red line to align them horizontally.

Stacked pairings

Horizontal co-branded lockups are preferred to avoid a hierarchical relationship. If a stacked pairing is required for your asset, please make sure to use minimum clear space (3 e’s stacked vertically). We prefer you do not use a divider when stacking logos vertically.

Make sure to visually align the logos as best as possible in the space. Logos can be vertically centered or left aligned. Please avoid right-aligning the logos and use minimum clear space (3 e’s stacked vertically).
