Logos

Sometimes coverage has logos. In-depth supports using any image file from the CDN as a logo. All file formats are supported, but it is strongly recommended you use an SVG.

Should I use a logo

Probably not. A multi-part project, possibly with sidebars, doesn't need a logo. If coverage is going to be spread out across a long time or across platforms (e.g. Olympics, election 2020) then a logo could serve as a unifying factor. Despite what an editor might insist upon, we generally recommend against project logos. They add clutter to a page and, being so new, often have little "brand value" for readers.

Examples

The Women of the Century project, such as this story, uses a project-wide logo.
