Logos
The Helix
Our logo is a double helix: two collagen strands with one subtly broken rung for the collagen disorders we represent. Choose the version made for your background. Each is a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background, except the square avatar.
- Use the version made for your background.
- Leave clear space around the logo, about the height of its capital letters.
- Use the helix mark on its own where space is small.
- Recolor, stretch, rotate, or redraw the logo.
- Place it over busy or low-contrast images.
- Use it in a way that suggests we endorse or partner with a product, service, or event without asking us first.
