Brand · Co-branding & Trademark Usage
Sharing space, never sharing a lockup.
Two marks can sit side by side. They never become one.
Minimum spacing next to a partner mark
Same clear-space unit already defined for the logo system: leave one full X (half the icon's diameter) of separation between the iibdaei lockup and any partner or client mark. A thin hairline rule between them is optional, never required.

LOGO
Equal weight vs. subordinate placement
Which one applies depends on the relationship, not preference.
iibdaeiLOGO
Co-marketing / joint venture — equal height, equal weight
iibdaeiVendor / supplier to a client project — iibdaei subordinate and smaller
Never merged
The two marks are always independent objects — never combined into one shape, one shared border, or one redrawn lockup.
iibdaeiLOGO
Reason: a shared border, a single container, or a redrawn combination mark implies a merged company identity that doesn't exist — iibdaei and a partner remain two distinct, independently legible marks.
Trademark & running text
In press releases, partner materials, or any external document, the first mention should read "iibdaei, a Rax-Tech International company" — establishing the parent relationship once, up front.
After the first mention, just iibdaei — lowercase, as the wordmark is drawn, never capitalized to "Iibdaei" or set in all caps.
iibdaei is part of Rax-Tech International. In co-branded material this stays a lineage note in text (as above) — the Rax-Tech name or mark is not added into the iibdaei lockup itself.
External, press, and partner use of the iibdaei mark needs written approval before publishing — contact hello@iibdaei.com with the placement and context ahead of release.
