Unit and Department Logos

The arched OHIO logo lockup should be used to represent Ohio University colleges, departments, programs, schools, centers and institutes. Units may not create their own unit-specific graphics or logos as these dilute the Ohio University brand and can create confusion.

Unit/Department Logo Lockups

To allow the maximum flexibility, UCM provides units with the ability to utilize just the college or division name, both college/division and school/department/center or only the school/department/center depending on the unit’s needs and preference. Note that the font choices are different for each of these marks and signature marks should only be created by UCM.

As much as possible, OHIO UCM wants to support prolific use of the Ohio University identify, particular the primary University logo. To that end, we’ve provided downloadable assets for University faculty and staff. Use of the University identity in ways that are contrary to the guidelines found here may result in corrective action including but not limited to removal of access to website editing and/or social media channels or a required reprinting of the offending item(s) at a cost to the unit or department.
