Against a clear background, it should appear in black typeface. - A greyscale version of the logo is also available. ### Download our logo

* While still in use for many elements on the EMBL.org websites and news.embl.de, Orange should be avoided for new projects as it is the primary colour for ELIXIR.
** Olive should not be used as a primary colour on the web.
We added a series of neutral greys. We don’t use the Light and the Dark colours online.
