In some cases using only symbol without wordmark is allowed:
- when logo legibility is compromised. If the size of the logo would make the wordmark illegible.

- inside the block between groups - 80 px;
- inside of the group - 60 px, ecc

Distance between elements should be always a multiples of 8. So, for example,

Accessibility

Pay attention on the color contrast. Users can be able to distinguish various text and non-text elements. Higher contrast makes objects easier to see.

Contrast ratios represent how different one color is from another color, commonly. The greater the difference is between the two numbers in the ratio, the greater the difference in relative luminance between the colors.

Some reccomendation for contrast using for text:- for large text (from 18 px in bold, from 24 px in recular) we use 3:1 against the background;- for small text - 4.5:1 against the background.
