Logo System
Use this guide to ensure our logos are applied consistently and correctly, preserving brand recognition and integrity across all platforms.
Ensure you use the correct file type for the right purpose. For digital, use SVG, PNG, or JPEG. For print, use EPS. These file types will ensure clean and crisp graphics across the brand system.
Full Signature
The full signature is the primary logo and should be used in most cases. There should be empty space around the full signiture that is equal to the size of “C” in “Central.” The height of the full signature should be no less than 7/8". Note that the logo signature uses IvyPresto.
Wordmark
On occasions where the primary mark is too large, the wordmark can be used on its own. There should be empty space surrounding the wordmark that is the size of its first "C." The height of the wordmark should be no less than 1/4".
Mark
The mark on its own should be used minimally. There should be empty space around the mark that is the size of the first “C” for the minimum size of the wordmark. The height of the mark should be no less than 1/4".
Tagline Lockup
In most cases, when the tagline is used, it must be locked up with the full signature, as displayed. There should be empty space around the lockup that is the size of the first “C” in the wordmark. The height of the signature and tagline lockup should be no less than 1 3/16". The space between the signature and lockup should be used as provided and not altered under any circumstance.
Ferris State University Wordmark
The full signature is the preferred mark usage and should be used in most cases—don't use any version of the Ferris State University logo containing the bulldog. There should be empty space around the logo that is the size of its first “F” in its wordmark size. The height of the full signature should be no less than 2/5".
Logo Placement
Due to the nature of the centered design of CMREN's logo, the logo should be placed in the center of a composition. The logo can be placed in other areas if it contained within a space or an element.
Do Not
Don’t adjust alignment within the logo.
Don’t adjust the structure of the logo.
