Logo and lines
Presentation of the full vertical version
For full-color prints/supports, the Board Game Arena logo is reproduced in four-color positive (BGA gradient) only.
For plain background colors matching any parts of the original gradient, the all-white version should be used.
For color composition, please refer to the corresponding page.
Protected Areas
The Board Game Arena logo may be used within the protection zone.
The minimum space is represented by the height and width (shaft) of the bottom-left graphic element.
Exceptions: if the height/width of the protection zone is restricted, the minimum space can be reduced to half the height/width of the graphic element.
The full vertical version of the logo is the prefered one to be used for all needs (Print/Web/etc...).
The different BGA logos
Depending on your display goals, there's different sizes and version of the logo you can use. Please refer to these informations whenever you want to promote your BGA version on your games, whether it's on the box, or in the rules (or anywhere else).
Having a BGA logo or QR code on your box, rules or anywhere helps players find informations about it online.
- Have it on your box sides to lead to your online version of the game directly, helping people try the game or play the tutorial to learn more about the game.
- Have it displayed on your rulebook so once users played it they can find more players to play online or to learn the game in another way.
Note that we provide a lot of informations on our pages about games, and that it's best for you to check if all languages / informations / packshots are up to date, so users would also find the latest informations about the game.
Don't hesitate to ask us if there's any issues.
Printing a BGA logo on board game boxes
If your game is available (or soon to be) on Board Game Arena, you can use these files to add awareness and promotion about your game being playable on our plaform right from the shelves.
If your game is NOT already available on Board Game Arena, you can check this page or send us a message about how to make the best of both worlds (printed games and virtual ones).
Note that now that QR codes are quite common, it's better for you to use this specific version so users don't have to type anything to find your game online.
The box examples
Depending on your box size/ratio, there's a few options you can use to display the BGA logo as well as the QR codes which would lead directly to your game page.
The vertical box
Depending on the orientation of the box art and way it should be displayed on shelves, we recommend not to display the BGA logos/QR codes on the front face.
For the sides, you can use different display versions to fit your needs. We strongly recommend to use as little space as possible, and to have the long horizontal one on the tallest sides, while using the tallest ones on the horizontally-oriented spaces.
Bottom position/Right positions are prefered.
White background should be used on most cases, but you can use the variation to fit your box artwork.
Note that for boxes having a side of less than 3cm width, we don't recommend using the box sides but the box back.
