Secondary logos are created to provide alternate layout options. Secondary logos typically offer horizontal or vertical stack options. These allow for a greater usage of the logo in unique placements. These logos come in handy for items such as envelopes, artwork with strict dimensions, and placement of logos on promo items (think pens, notepads, etc.)
