Concept
The quote motif, created by overlapping triangles, is a visual expression of speech or communication. This motif should be used sparingly as a design element when enlarged, or as a subtle graphic element that accompanies copy.

Usage
These elements are meant to accompany brand communications as an up porting graphic element. They should never be used on their own without the official logos. Common usage should enlarge these elements, exposing only parts of the graphic. Please see the examples section showing mockup usage.
