American Soybean Association "Signature" Elements

The American Soybean Association "Signature" is comprised of two elements:

The Stylized ASA Bean Symbol

The ASA Logotype

 

These "Signature" elements are arranged in a fixed visual relationship & may never be altered.

· The Logotype may not be used independently of the Stylized ASA Bean Symbol.

· The Stylized ASA Bean Symbol may not be used alone.

Adherence to these standards will ensure the image conveyed through the Signature will be enhanced over the years. The Signature must be applied to all uses in a consistent manner, in order to foster a strong, consistent image. Color, typography, and layout all play an important role in maintaining this image.
