PMI Logo Guidelines

If you have any questions about the use of the PMI logo in any form, please contact the PMI Brand Development Department. All requests to use the PMI logo must be submitted to Brand Development for approval.

Logo branding guidelines

To preserve the integrity of the logo, an area of isolation has been established.  No other graphic elements may appear within this area, which is based on half the width of the vertical stem of the “I” in PMI, represented by the distance “X”.

PMI has a graphic identity and a corporate brand known as the “PMI Brand Experience.”  PMI’s graphic identity is just one element of our corporate brand.

By keeping consistent with one graphic format, PMI’s brand and identity are strengthened. Please keep this in mind when placing the PMI logo on documents and other printed material.

Basic logo colors are Blue PMS 300 for the graphic elements and black for the Globe border, typography and registration mark. The preferred background is a white field.

The “X” length, measured as the width of half the “I” in PMI, is the unit of measurement that defines the white space surrounding the logo on all four sides. Leave this minimum space to avoid other elements from interfering with the logo.

Color Logo: Acceptable Usage

Use only the established logo files provided by PMI Brand Development. DO NOT recreate any logos.

  • •  Colors: Blue PMS 300, Black
  • •  Trademark symbol must be in black
  • •  Should always be used on a white background in order to provide contrast and retain its strong clear properties
