the logo The Boost Mobile ® logo’s design denotes momentum. The forms of the marque are based on the original logo designed in 2001, and have been improved to portray a more premium aesthetic. Disassembling the Boost marque is not an option. The logotype uses a custom-designed typeface and should not be altered. The symbol icon and logotype together create the Boost marque. Together these two registered trademarks form the most significant feature of the Boost product and corporate identity and should be used on all aspects of marque communication. The Boost logo should never be altered, tilted, distorted, or manipulated on any application.

In order to gain maximum visibility, the Boost logo should always appear with a minimum area of clear space around the logo. This area should be free of any type or graphic element. Using mean-line height of the letter “b”’ of the logotype as “x”, the clear space is a 1x area around the logo which should be clear of any type or graphic element. These rules apply to all versions of Boost lock-up on all mediums.
