The BASF Logo
Components of the BASF Logo
Color and Background
Our BASF logo has no color of its own. The BASF logo does not include a corporate color. The impression of color is created by the background color:
Use in molding, embossing and etching
If color cannot be used, the BASF logo in its original form can be etched, embossed (raised or imprinted) or reproduced for molds. In these cases, it must always appear flat, never as a contour.
Blank space

Don'ts
Avoid 3D effects
The BASF logo is always depicted in the same layer as its background, without any 3D effects. If it is necessary to cut the logo components out of e.g. a plastic board, select the minimum thickness of the material to limit the 3D effects and shadows at the edges of the logo components.
