Corporate Identity Manual

The Rio Frio logo ...

... has several key elements:

  • the white background
  • the light green oval "field"
  • the oval of 20 coffee beans
  • the "tree and river" blue graphic element
  • the Rio Frio "title" in blue with black outline, and
  • "since 1915", which can appear in English or Spanish.

Notes on the integrity of the Rio Frio logo

The logo must always be based on a pure white background. If the logo needs to be placed on a background field of another color, then the white rectange must be maintained for at least a distance of 10% of the height and width of the light green oval field.

The Font
