The Rule

Maintain minimum clear space equal to the cap-height of the wordmark (or the x-height of the mark unit) on all four sides. Preferred clear space is 1.5× this value.

Clear space ensures the logo is not visually crowded by adjacent elements, preserving its recognition signal and perceived authority.
