Five ways to brand the podium

Drop your logo
on the real thing.

Every general session opens on the same shot: a speaker, a backdrop, and the podium between them. Load your mark below and it lands on our lectern at true scale — 30 inches wide, 49 to the lip — so you can see how big it actually reads before anything goes to print.

The canvas

Measured off our lectern · build artwork at 100%
AB49" front44" back30" wide · 20" deep19"13.5"15° lip

A Header zone

The band directly under the desk — the only area a wide camera shot never crops. Max panel 26" W × 13" H. Anything wider than 28" overhangs the desk edge and catches hands.

B Body zone

The tapered face, 19" at the top narrowing to 13.5" at the floor. Full-face art runs the whole 30" drop, but the mark belongs in the top third — the lower half sits behind heads in a house-left camera position. The preview above starts every logo there.

Dead zones

The top 1.5" is the paper lip and is hidden by the speaker's notes. The bottom 4" is blocked by the front row in any room without risers. Nothing that has to read goes in either.

What we need to hit the print deadline

Files

  • Vector PDF/X-4, packaged .ai, or .eps — fonts outlined or included.
  • Raster only if it is 150 dpi at final size. A 26" panel needs a 3900 px wide file.
  • Send the logo on its own too. We reset type constantly; we should never have to retrace a mark.

Size & bleed

  • Build at 100% scale. No "scale me up 400%" files.
  • 0.25" bleed on anything trimmed to shape — clings, medallions, inserts.
  • 0.5" safe margin inside the trim. Contour cutters drift.
  • Cut vinyl needs true vector, outlines only — one flat color, nothing thinner than 0.125", no gradients or shadows.

Color

  • CMYK for print, plus the brand hex so we can match the backdrop and the lower thirds.
  • Rich black stays under 280% total ink or it stays wet and marks.
  • Give us a Pantone for the primary mark if the brand has one. Blues and reds drift most between substrates.

Built for camera

  • Matte laminate on everything. Gloss throws the key light straight back into the lens.
  • A field of pure white blows out under a 5600K key. Drop it to 3–5% warm grey and it holds detail.
  • Smallest logo height 1.5" — the floor for reading from row 10. The preview above flags anything under it.
  • Thin reversed type under 18 pt fills in on an LED wall shot. Go heavier than the brand guide suggests.
