Only use Fleet dots when it is clear they represent Fleet. + +#### Clear space + +Leave a minimum clear space around logo marks equal to the height of the Fleet dots on all sides. This helps maintain clarity when placing the logo near other elements. + +> Less clear space may be used in certain placements, like the navigation bar on fleetdm.com and the Fleet product. + + + + + +### Logo placement + +Anchor the logo to the top-left or bottom-left of the canvas. + +> You can make exceptions when needed. For example, center or right-align the logo on slides, videos, or swag.
