Freedam's take

When I looked at the British Museum brand page, I found a direct gateway focused entirely on logo usage rights. Instead of immediate direct asset downloads, it organizes rules around commercial and non-commercial contexts. I like how clearly it outlines the requirements, including specific print run boundaries for educational and scholarly projects. Visitors can request permission directly through dedicated inquiry links, and the museum links out to a comprehensive PDF containing their full design guidelines. It acts as a clear permissions checkpoint before granting access to brand assets.
