Logo

The QuickBooks logotype is the main identifier of the brand. It represents the QuickBooks story as a stand-alone element. In visually overwhelming spaces, it also takes a stand against competitors and opposing messaging and must be treated with great care, protecting its integrity at all times.

The basics

Preferred logo

To maintain consistency, we strongly recommend using our primary logo variation whenever possible. In the event that this logo variation is not suitable for your specific use case, please reach out to our brand team for further guidance.

Clear space and minimum size

Think of clear space as an invisible space around the logo artwork that protects its legibility and integrity. No visual elements should be placed inside of it. The margin should be half of the height of the QuickBooks symbol. This rule applies to any logo variation.


The minimum size protects the clear legibility of our logotype. The QuickBooks symbol in any logo variation can never be displayed under 16 pixels for digital (at 72dpi)

Logo variations

While the primary logo should always be your first option, the alternate variations can be used to fit different background colors. There has to be high contrast and the logo should always be perfectly legible. Below are approved background colors and logo combinations. Please note that the black and white logo option should only be used for print purposes and not for digital media.

Logo lockups

Use AvenirNext for INTUIT Medium in black for product names. The cap height should be at the 2/3 height of the logo symbol. Product name should always start with the word QuickBooks (for example, QuickBooks Self-Employed).


The proportions are fixed, but placement of the product name is flexible, and will vary by asset and context. Maintaining the minimum distance of 2x from the logo is key.
