Gracenote Logo & Brand Guidelines :: Music Solutions
Rev. 0513
Welcome to the Gracenote Logo and Brand Guidelines for music
products and technologies. This guide provides a framework for
consistent application of the Gracenote identity.
Gracenote requires any company that will be offering Gracenote
products and technologies to first enter into an agreement with
Gracenote regarding the use of Gracenote trademarks. As the
Gracenote products and technologies expand to meet the needs
of consumers, it is important that the Gracenote brand, including all
the elements that make up the company’s visual identity,
remain consistent.
We appreciate your commitment to these standards. If you have
any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your Gracenote Global
Services and Support Representative.
