2.0 LOGO STANDARDS 2.1 CONSTRUCTION The MAA logo is composed of three parts: the MAA mark or Icosahedron®, the MAA acronym, and the full name of the association. These components are always placed in the same location and should never be altered in any way.
MAA Logo The MAA Logo must always be production ready art and should never be recreated. MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
MAA Mark and Acronym The MAA Logo without the Full Name below logo must always be production ready art and should never be recreated. MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
MAA Acronym The MAA Acronym should only be used internally or for special situations such as book spines, specialty merchandise items where the full logo doesn’t fit [lanyards, stress balls) etc. If you are unsure or have MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA questions, please email Cheryl Adams at [email protected].
The MAA Icosahedron® logo is a registered trademark of the Mathematical Association of America. Members and the general public may use this logo only in approved ways. For further information, please contact Cheryl Adams at [email protected].

2.2 WHITE SPACE
X = White space
X
In order for the MAA logo signature to have its desired impact and strength, a X minimum of white space should surround it. Other graphic elements should not invade this space. The minimum space is a set measurement determined in the MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA logo and is defined as X. The X will change X proportionally as the signature increases and decreases in size.
The bottom example illustrates the proportional decrease in white space X when compared to the top example.

2.4 MINIMUM SIZE
The MAA Logo, Full Name and Mark or Icosahedron® have a minimum size of MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA readability. This standard is set in an effort to consistently present signatures in a legible format. In particular, the spelling out of the Full Name, Mathematical Association of
MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATIONAmerica, OF AMERICA could be compromised if this rule Minimum Size with full name 1.5 inches is not observed.
← To use the Full Name of the association
with the Mark and/or Acronym, the Correct small usage 1.0 inch
MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATIONminimum OF AMERICA size should be 1.5 inches in MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA width. To allow for flexibility, the Mark and/ MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA or Acronym should be used without the Full Name for any application when it is smaller.
MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
→ The minimum readable size for the Mark MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA and Acronym together is 1.0 inch in width.
→ The Acronym by itself will be readable down to a much smaller size. Therefore, Incorrect small usage 1.0 inch MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA for all MAA Logos smaller than 1.0 inch, we advise the implementation of just the Acronym as in the top right diagram. Again, good judgment must be used to
MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ensure readability.
