Logos & Stationery

Logos are listed below. Stationery files can be found here. And now, for your presenting pleasure, PowerPoint templates are here.

Faculty and staff are free to use the “official” identity files. But, and this is a huge caveat, by downloading these files you are agreeing to be bound by the new Graphic Identity Style Guide. Download the guide right now if you have not already done so. Although primarily for print applications, many of the rules in the guide will apply to online use.

A Web Style Guide is still being fully developed.

Before downloading any of the the exhaustive list of files below, you must, must, download the following ReadMe files

Check the file extensions before downloading!

Do not download .ai  files unless you have Adobe Illustrator or a similar vector graphics editor (or you’re savvy with Photoshop and smart objects). For web use,  JPG will probably be what you want. Keep in mind that raster format images (JPG, TIFF, PNG) must not be enlarged as they quickly lose quality. Vector images (EPS, AI) can be resized, but only via vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator or Fireworks.

You can place a vector file in Adobe Photoshop image as a Smart Object and resize as needed. In many cases this produces very good results.
