Reference:

guard band

seems to be the correct EN term - it means according to the URL below - the width of the border band around the logo that must be left clear of anything else (nothing should be in that "no man's zone" around the imaginary rectangle of the logo proper).

neutral Tony M : Have to say I'm not convinced that 'guard band' is used in this specific context?
