Question 1

What’s the difference between a badge, wordmark, and full logo in Motomarks?

Accepted Answer

In Motomarks, **badge** typically refers to the emblem/icon portion of the brand identity (ideal for compact UI like dropdowns, chips, and cards). A **wordmark** is the text-only logo (useful for headers, navigation bars, or where icon detail becomes unreadable). The **full** logo generally includes the complete brand lockup (often badge + wordmark), which works best for hero sections or brand detail pages.

You can request these using the `type` query parameter, for example: `?type=badge` or `?type=wordmark`. If you omit `type`, you’ll get the default full logo presentation. For more guidance and examples, see /glossary/badge, /glossary/wordmark, and /docs.

Question 2

How do I choose the right logo format and size for performance?

Accepted Answer

For most web and mobile UIs, **WebP** is a strong default because it’s small and renders quickly. Use `format=webp` and pick a size that matches your UI density: `xs` or `sm` for lists and autocomplete, `md` for grids, `lg` for hero areas.

If you need sharp scaling (print, PDF exports, high-DPI dashboards), prefer **SVG** (`format=svg`) when available—especially for wordmarks. A good approach is to render WebP in the app UI and reserve SVG for exports or where zooming is expected.

Example badge optimized for lists: `https://img.motomarks.io/triumph?type=badge&format=webp&size=sm`.

Question 3

Can I use these motorcycle brand logos commercially in my app or marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Logos are trademarks and are typically subject to brand guidelines and trademark law. Motomarks helps you **retrieve and render** brand marks consistently, but you should still ensure your use is compliant—especially if your product could imply endorsement.

In practice, the most common compliant uses are **identification** and **compatibility** (e.g., “fits Ducati,” “BMW Motorrad models,” dealer inventory browsing), where the logo is used to reference the brand rather than to brand your own service. Avoid modifying marks, combining them with your own branding in a confusing way, or using them as your primary identity.

For implementation and plan details, review /docs and /pricing, and consult legal counsel for your specific use case if needed.

Question 4

How should I handle brands with both cars and motorcycles (like Honda, BMW, Suzuki)?

Accepted Answer

Treat the brand as a single canonical make (one slug) but segment your product taxonomy by **vehicle type**. For example, you can keep `bmw` as the brand while tagging listings or models as `motorcycle` vs `car`. This avoids duplicating brands and keeps logo usage consistent across your app.

If your UI has separate experiences (e.g., “Cars” and “Motorcycles”), reuse the same Motomarks logo asset and differentiate with context: “BMW Motorrad” in text labels, motorcycle-specific model lists, and motorcycle-specific filters. This approach reduces confusion while keeping brand recognition high.
