Application
Size and clear space
The clear space around the logo is equal to the height of the “o” in “Colorado,” regardless of the size. The downloadable word mark files on this site include a bounding box around the artwork. To preserve clear space, no graphics or artwork may overlap this boundary.
The downloadable files above are saved at the smallest allowable size. You may increase the size proportionately, but please do not reduce its size.
Do not pair the word mark with any other logo, college, department, or program name. In these instances, use a signature with unit identifier.
The word mark should always be used against a clean, contrasting background.
