STAGING To protect design integrity, Harley-Davidson has established standards for a clear space around logos. This area of isolation, based on the height of the “H” in “Harley-Davidson” allows the logo to command visual atten- tion. No typography or design element may be placed within this area. FEDERAL TRADEMARK SYMBOL DISPLAY (U.S.ONLY) The primary placement of the ® is outside the Bar & Shield, and centered below the “N” so that it is legible and noticeable. When the design is self-contained, as on metal pins, embroi- dered designs, or in small applications (width of 5mm or less), incorporate the ® within the logo.
