Logos

New Â鶹´«Ã½ City University's logos are our most valuable brand assets. Always position the logo for maximum impact and give it plenty of room to breathe. This will help to ensure our logo’s visibility and legibility.

Institutional Logos

This Â鶹´«Ã½ logo is the symbol of our academic institution. It is primarily used in communications for general audiences, influencers, and prospective graduate students.

 

Athletics/Spirit Marks

Athletics/Spirit marks represent the Gothic Knight athletics teams as well as all Student Life offices and activities. These are used primarily for communications with student athletes, sports fans, prospective undergraduate students as well as Â鶹´«Ã½'s undergraduate student population. 

 

Colors

By limiting the use of colors, our logos will feel contemporary and modern. Other brand elements will give us flexibility with identity, but it's important that our logo retains a singular, iconic identity.

Our institutional logo can be used in green, black and reversed in white.

Athletics/Spirt marks can be used in green, black, gold, and reversed in white.

When the Â鶹´«Ã½ logo is placed on a background other than white (such as another color or a photo), enough contrast should be present to allow the logo to stand out.

The Clear-Space Rule

Clear space is the term we use for the amount of space that a logo must have on all sides, no matter where it is used. Clear space helps a logo maximizes visibility and impact.
