LOGO USAGEThe Secrets brand logo is the primary

presentation of the Secrets master

brand and combines the icon and the

logotype. The letters of the logo are

specially drawn and spaced. The icon

is precisely proportioned and balanced

with the Secrets name.

Never redraw, replace or modify the

lettering in any way or rearrange the

relationship between the icon and the

logotype. Always use the Secrets brand

logo in its complete form — never use

a partial image or show just pieces.

Always use master artwork provided by

AMResorts® Art Department.
