- Colors should complement the colors of TCO14 theme.
- Add the new topcoder logo somewhere in your design on both PDF and Powerpoint presentation
- Fonts are open to creativity. However, we would like them to match the TCO14 theme. Use the fonts wisely to make the design attractive, not busy. Declare your fonts according to the Studio font's policies.
