Before grabbing a Barbells for Boobs logo, please be sure to follow our basic rules, if you have any questions about logo usage, you can reach us here.
This is the first logo to choose when referencing Barbells for Boobs, unless being used on a background that makes it illegible. If you are using the logo on either a dark or pink background, use the alternate assets.
Don’t alter the shape, proportion, color or orientation of the logos. Keep ‘em pink, black and white, and only as they appear above. (We know you have some great design ideas — but this isn’t the place to get creative!)
Provide at least as much padding around the logo as what we’ve displayed above. This helps our logo appear clean and uncluttered.
