Brand Guidelines

At Kaplan, our brand is an extension of our personality and aims to characterize the unique way Kaplan is seen, felt, and heard by our customers. Inspiring and authentic, key attributes of our personality come together to ensure our identity rings true in everything we produce, proving that who we are is just as important as what we do.

Kaplan Logo

The Kaplan logo is soft, playful and inviting.

White Space

Clear space is the area surrounding our logo that is kept free of other graphics and typography. It plays an essential role in ensuring our logo is easy to recognize across all of our communications. The minimum clear space surrounding the logo (both horizontal and vertical versions) is the height of the "K" in the "Kaplan" wordmark. All digital files for the logo have this clear space built in.

Minimum size

The minimum size for our logo is .25" tall for print use, 20 pixels for digital applications, and .4" for embroidery. Although these are the minimum sizes, in most cases the logo will be shown larger. It should never be smaller than the minimum sizes, as it would compromise quality and legibility.

Sub-brand Logos

The Kaplan brand consists of three sub-brands: Kaplan Elementary, Kaplan Playgrounds, and the Kaplan Outlet Store. Each of these sub-brands has its own logo that is an extension of the main Kaplan logo, just as each brand is an extension of the Kaplan family.

White Space

Each logo should be used with ample clear space surrounding it. Like the main Kaplan logo, the minimum clear space surrounding the logo (both horizontal and vertical versions) is the height of the "K" in the "Kaplan" wordmark. All digital files for the logo have this clear space built in.

Minimum size

The minimum size for each logo is .25" tall for print use, 20 pixels for digital applications, and .4" for embroidery. Although these are the minimum sizes, in most cases the logos will be shown larger. It should never be smaller than the minimum sizes, as it would compromise quality and legibility.
