So many iconic logos to choose from, but which one is the right one to use? You'll find our University, college, and departmental logo usage spelled out here.

Primary Logos

---

The University of Utah’s primary logos serve as the central visual representation of the institution’s identity.

Institutional University Logo

The institutional logo of the University of Utah comprises two essential components: the interlocking U’s icon and the accompanying wordmark, “The University of Utah.” These elements are designed to function together as a unified mark and must not be resized independently, rearranged, or otherwise altered. This cohesive presentation reinforces the connection between University of Utah Health, Athletics, and the broader institutional brand, ensuring a consistent and recognizable identity across all university entities. 

The institutional logo is the primary visual representation of the university and is intended for external use to signify and promote the institution as a whole. Its consistent application across communications helps maintain the integrity and reputation of the University of Utah in public and professional settings.

Horizontal Institutional University Logo

Whenever possible, the Institutional University Logo should be used as the primary mark. In cases where space or layout constraints prevent its use, the horizontal logo is an acceptable alternative. Regardless of format, all elements of the logo are designed to function as a unified mark and must not be resized independently, rearranged, or otherwise altered in any way.

The Block U Logo

This logo is intended primarily as a design element in an academic setting and should be used when the Institutional University of Utah logo is not suitable. Its use is most appropriate for internal and in-state audiences who are already familiar with the University’s brand. 

The Block U may be utilized across campus and is acceptable for academic applications as a visual or design element.

Institutional University Logo Usage Guide

---

Use this guide for the primary logo in digital and print media.

Clear Space

A “clear space” should always exist around the logo to allow for maximum legibility. The clear space is equal to half the height of the Block U used in the logo for that application. No elements such as typography, other logos, or graphics should intrude into the clear space. Placing the logo too near a cut or folded edge also violates the clear space. Photos and colors can appear beneath the logo so long as the logo remains easily visible and recognizable.

Minimum Size

To ensure legibility and recognition on printed materials, the primary University logo may not appear smaller than 0.6827 inches wide or 100 pixels wide for web use. The horizontal University logo may not appear smaller than 1” wide or 150 pixels wide for web use.

Unacceptable Applications

To ensure consistency, do not alter the University’s logos or wordmarks in any way. Do not distort the logo. Do not change the color or the alignment of the type and Block U. Do not cover, fill, or add texture to the logo or Block U. The U logo should not print gray, as a screened value, or as semitransparent. The logo should not be used as a decorative border or as a background element.

University Seal and Medallions

---

The University seal and medallions are for special uses and as art elements. They should not be used in place of a standard University logo.

University Seal

The University seal is reserved for official use such as diplomas, certificates of graduation from formal certificate programs, University “white paper” reports, scholarly papers, etc. In addition, the seal may be used at the president’s discretion.

Specifically, the seal should not be used on letterhead of any sort, nor on related printed materials (brochures, business cards, envelopes, mailing packets, etc.).

The seal may also be used in situations calling for a permanent identifying mark for the University, such as architectural elements produced in stone, metal, glass, or other permanent materials.

University Medallion

The University medallion serves as an alternative to the University seal and may be used in print or on the Web. The medallion may be used as a design element. It may be cropped, tilted, screened, embossed, or foil stamped. The medallion should only be printed in approved primary brand colors. The medallion is an art element only and should not be used for official documents. The medallion should not be used in place of a standard University logo.

College medallions can serve as art elements in lieu of the official University seal or the University medallion. College medallions must be reproduced within the University’s primary color palette, i.e. University red, black, gray, and white.
