Should I include my logo files in the brand guide PDF?

Question that comes up a lot: Do I need logo images in my PDF for PaletteCheck to work?

Short answer: Including logo images is fine but not required.

What matters more: The logo RULES, not the images:

• Clear space requirements
• Minimum size specifications
• Approved color variations
• Placement guidelines
• What NOT to do with the logo

How PaletteCheck uses logo info:

• When you analyze text, it checks for proper logo usage descriptions
• When you analyze images, it checks if logos appear correctly sized/placed

Pro Tip:
If your PDF shows logo rules as visual examples only, add a text summary:
"Minimum size: 50px height"
"Clear space: 1x logo width on all sides"
"Never stretch, rotate, or add effects"
