## LEED v5

[LEED v5](https://www.usgbc.org/leed/v5) is the next version of the globally recognized comprehensive framework for green building practices.&#x20;

The LEED v5 logo is modern, confident, and sophisticated. It gives the LEED wordmark momentum through subtle angles in the letterforms. The logo pushes forward towards version 5 and LEED’s vision for the future of greener and better buildings.&#x20;

The lockup includes an updated version of the original LEED wordmark paired with the current version number, v5, in a box and type that coordinates with the wordmark style. The box creates a flexible system that can be updated for future versions of LEED. Please follow logo color usage guidelines when applying the logo to materials.
