School, College or Unit Logos

School logo example

Logos for university groups—also known as logo signature extensions or unit-specific lockups—follow a standardized and consistent visual hierarchy that supports the University of Colorado brand while providing a clear and strong unit or group identifier. Eligible groups include all:

  • Schools
  • Colleges
  • Academic and administrative units
  • Departments
  • Programs
  • Centers and institutes
  • Student groups as recorded by the are also eligible to use campus marks, including unit-specific lockups.

Unit logos include two elem​ents: The CU logomark (interlocking CU), and the unit or group name, followed by the university and campus affiliation. These components are always placed in a fixed relationship and should never be altered, modified or redrawn.

Unit logos are available as horizontal, vertical and centered lockups in four-color, spot-color, grayscale and black-and-white variants. The two-line, color, horizontal signature is the preferred treatment for most applications.

Unit logos are standardized throughout the University of Colorado system. Nonstandard or custom marks of any kind—with the exception of those groups that have received a co-branding exemption—are not permitted.

Logos are available for current university employees and can be requested using the download form under the section: "Unit-specific lockups".
