Signature
The University Signature
Inspired by the Colorado State University seal, the University Signature is a new addition to the Colorado State University visual brand language. Colorado State University is a networked brand, in which distinct entities come together to create the University as a whole. The University Signature allows those distinct entities (colleges, departments, programs) to pair their names and identities with the University.
The Signature is Colorado State University’s primary mark. Use the Signature in all applications except:
- In formal University communication and external signage, use the Word Mark.
- In President’s Office communications, the seal may substitute.
