Usage rules
Use the logo in its original proportions. Do not stretch, crop, recolor, add effects, or place it over visually noisy areas without sufficient contrast.
Use the standard lockup for Nova Garage references and the + host state version when the host-state context is relevant and explicitly intended.
Maintain generous clear space around the mark. When in doubt, use more space, not less.
