To preserve the integrity of the WordPress.com VIP logo, you should allow at least 150% of white space horizontally and 200% vertically around the logo. In the diagram below you can see how the minimum safety space is drawn from the logo’s proportion. The minimum size for the logo reproduction is 1 inch on print or 85 pixels wide on screen.
