Fan Orientation?

I am installing fans in my case and wanted to check I have them the right way round.

Is it that the logo on front means intake and the struts on the back are exhaust?

If so are these images correct for case fans and rad push/pull config?

If you are mounting the rad at the front of the case you want the rear/ bottom/top and side fans pulling air into the case and the radiator fans pushing air out threw the rad.

Yep, logo is intake, motor info is exhaust. They should have a little arrow on them on one of the four edges.

Id have thought id want to pull in from the front into the rad then suck out into the case and vent through the exhausts on the top and back. Otherwise your just heating up the air in the case with the graphics card heat then pushing it through the rad and out the case...

thought so, but no arrows hence asking for clarification!
