Guidelines
The MetLife name as expressed in the logo is the single most important visual component in establishing our brand presence. Our logo is a clear, strong, timeless presentation of our name.
Clear Space
A minimum amount of clear space must always surround the MetLife logo, separating it from other elements such as headlines, text, or imagery. The protected area is equal to the cap height of the MetLife “M” and is proportional to the size of the signature being used.

Minimum Size
Careful consideration should be given when determining the size of the MetLife logo. When it is too small it can be ineffective. The minimum size for the logo should be 1 pica for the height of the “M” in MetLife.
Color
The preferred color for the MetLife logo is MetLife Blue (Pantone 285). Acceptable alternatives are for the logo to be reversed out in white or reproduced in black.

Outside of the US, the "®" registered mark must be used to protect the MetLife mark.
