There are two types of partnership treatments for The City of Calgary Visual Identifier – The City as the primary partner or as an equal partner. When The City is the primary partner the identifier remains top left bleeding off the top edge with sponsor logos removed from it. When the City is an equal partner the identifier can appear beside the other sponsor logos and does not need to bleed off of the top edge.

When placing the visual identifier next to a partner logo always ensure that you use the minimum clearspace as a buffer. One unit of clear space is calculated by creating a square with a width and height equal to the vertical measurement from the top of the letter “l” to the bottom of the letter “g” in the Calgary wordmark.
