All Continental Airlines logos, including the names and logos set forth herein are trademarks of Continental Airlines, Inc. These logos may not be altered or redrawn in any way, including changes in typestyle, proportion, letter spacing, color or placement of the individual elements making up the logo.

Changing a key graphic element, however good your intentions may be, detracts from the consistency of Continental Airlines trademarks and logos.

You must follow these usage guidelines:

  • When the square around the globe symbol is 0.5 inches or smaller, use the 3-pica logo.
  • When the globe symbol is larger than 0.5 inches, use the 6-pica logo.
  • The square around the globe should never appear smaller than 1-pica 6 points or 1p6 (0.25 inches).
  • The words "Continental Airlines" and the globe symbol should never be separated or switched around. Both elements are locked up.
  • A minimum of 0.25 inches of clear space needs to surround the logo to separate it from other elements such as copy, pictures, slogans, and other logos and symbols. This area, referred to as the area of non-interference, will preserve the visual impact and legibility of the Continental logo.
  • The background color should bleed through the lines of the globe.
  • No other logos, symbols, words, design or trademarks should be used in close proximity to or be combined with the Continental Airlines logo.

Below are some, but not all, unacceptable uses of the Continental Airlines logo:

  • Do not add any graphic elements around the logo within the area of non-interference.
  • Do not place the logo on a heavily patterned background.
  • Do not stretch or distort the logo.

  • Do not enclose the logo in any shapes.
  • Do not use any element of the Work Hard. Fly Right.® trademark as a logo.
  • Do not change the letter spacing of the logotype or move the globe in relation to the logotype.
  • Do not place type around the area of non-interference.
  • Do not use the globe design alone.
  • Do not place images or clip art next to the logo.
  • Do not apply the logo in any colors other than PMS 286 Blue, black or white.
