# Symbol

> The symbol on its own: when to use it and how small it may go.

Source: https://brand.viscohoreca.nl/en/symbol

The symbol is the logo without the wordmark: the triangle with the red dot. It carries the same meaning as the full logo and follows the same rules.

## When to use it on its own

The symbol works well where the full logo does not fit or would not be legible, for example:

- As a profile picture on social media.
- As a favicon or app icon.
- As a small recognition mark in print, for instance in a corner or on a spine.

## Minimum height

The same floor applies as for the logo: below 5 mm (14 px) high, the dot visually disappears into the triangle.
