The University Logo

The University's visual identity consists of the words University of Delaware with interlocking initial capital U and D. It brings together, in a single distinctive design, the University's 250-year tradition of excellence. It is designed for versatility, and can be seen on everything from business cards to the floor of the new Bob Carpenter Center. Working together, the University community can use the logo to project a consistent, quality image to our various constituencies.

The Publications Office is here to help you do just that in a uniform way. Contact the Publications Office for any help you may need using the logo (831-2144 or shenkle@strauss.udel.edu).

The coat-of-arms, or shield, may appear to the left of the logo, as it does on University letterhead. When reproduced at smaller sizes, the shield should be omitted to eliminate loss of detail. The logo may be reproduced in its entirety, but the interlocking UD is a discrete element that may appear alone.

General Rules

Here are a few general rules to follow when using the logo:
  1. Please consider the particular usage to which you are putting the logo and select a size and placement appropriate to that use.
  2. The logo is a mark of identification, not an illustration. Please do not use it as the focal art for a document. Rather, consider using it as an identifying mark along with other illustrative material appropriate to your document, either at the top or bottom of your home page.
  3. The logo is a free-standing design, and may be used in publications set in any typeface or any design style. Do not be afraid to use it.
