Logo configurations

We have two approved logo configurations—a primary horizontal and a secondary vertical. Please do not lockup our Emsignia and wordmark in any other configurations.

Primary Configuration of the Motorola Solutions logo


Primary configuration

The horizontal logo is the preferred configuration.

Secondary Configuration of the Motorola Solutions logo


Secondary configuration

The vertical logo should only be used when the primary horizontal logo does not fit within a layout or graphic.

Logo clear space

The preferred clear space of X (when X equals the size of the Emsignia) must be maintained on all 4 sides of the Motorola Solutions Signature. This area should be kept free of any graphic or typographic elements to ensure readability.


Minimum clear space requirements have been established for use only in those instances when space is limited. In these instances, the minimum clear space of X (1/3 of the height of the disk) must be maintained on all 4 sides of the Emsignia.


Maintain this clear area on all four sides of the horizontal and vertical Motorola Solutions Signatures.


Do not create relationships with other logos or graphic elements that can be interpreted as a lockup.
