The three versions of the logo are available in full color. The horizontal and stacked versions are also available in white (for use on dark backgrounds). The primary version of the logo should be used in most cases. The stacked version and the circle (or badge) version should be used only when the primary version will not work.
Each can be downloaded in a variety of file types: PDF, JPG, and PNG.
Tip: If you are using the files and need a solid white background, use the PDF or JPG logo files. If you need a transparent background, use the PNG logo file.
The Using Satellites to Learn About Animals educational resources were developed in collaboration with Argos, a system of instruments aboard satellites used to track tagged animals around the world and help understand other aspects of our planet.
