Please use the files unchanged: don't recolour or stretch them, don't add shadows or outlines, and never rearrange the wizard and the name. Keep clear space around the logo at least as high as the letter h in the name, on every side. Don't use the full logo narrower than 190 px on screen or 50 mm in print; below that, use the wordmark. The stacked logo and the wordmark need at least 150 px or 40 mm. We write our name "hackers&wizards": lower case, no spaces.
