Example of Logo Clearspace

The ֱ University logos may be scaled proportionately to fit everything from directional signage to small brochures. To ensure successful reproduction, the crest should not be reproduced smaller than .5 inch high and the V should not be reproduced smaller than .25 inch high.

The University's mission of fostering an academic community of students who learn to think critically, act compassionately and succeed while serving others is captured in our University tagline.

When using the tagline on it’s own, please do not typeset (key in by hand), but use the existing artwork for the tagline to ensure consistency with font, punctuation, and registered trademark designation.

For help on how to use the tagline in running text, please refer to the editorial style guidelines.
