The minimum size for general applications is 2.5 cm or 1 inch high. The Dinos logo should be protected on all sides by a clear area to ensure no other text or graphics encroach on the logo. 

The clear area is determined by using the height of the D in the Dinos wordmark. The clear area is one times the height of the D on the top and bottom and one times the width of the D on the left and right of the logo.
