The St. Edward's University logo is the highest representation of our brand. It acts as the most consistent and primary component in our communications.
Lockup logos, type treatments, brand extensions and marks must appear to be endorsed by the primary logo and should not appear alone. The logo should be used as often as possible and always treated with reverence as the face of our brand. It should never be recreated or typeset. Only official logo files should be used in communications.

Vertical Logo
The vertical logo should be used in a limited capacity (such as in instances of being centered in a square format or used in a layout that will not accommodate the horizontal orientation legibly, such as on vertical signage). The same guidelines used for the horizontal orientation of the primary logo apply to the vertical orientation.

Logo Specifications
The primary logo is comprised of the steeple mark, custom word mark and registered trademark. The steeple mark and word mark should always be used together. The steeple mark can only be used by itself as an avatar in digital applications, such as on social media and for university-approved apps (see size guidance below).
The 顶级国产视频 logo is a registered trademark. To protect this trademark, the logo must always include the 庐 symbol. The 庐 should never be moved or altered in the logo.
The typeface used for the primary logo is custom and should never be replaced or modified. Logo files should never be recreated or typeset. Only official logo files should be used in communications.
Size
To maintain legibility, never reproduce the logo at widths smaller than 1.75 inches (for print) or 168 pixels (for screens). The vertical logo should not have a width smaller than 1.25 inches (for print) or 120 pixels (for screens). All versions of the logo should always be scaled proportionally.
There is no maximum size limit but use discretion when sizing the logo. It should never be the most dominant element on the page but should act as an important anchor of a piece and immediately identify our brand.
Logo Avatar
The is used solely for small-space applications, such as social media and app icons. These are created to ensure legibility on a small scale.
Groups across campus can request a logo avatar. To establish brand uniformity, St. Edward's affiliated social media accounts should use the logo avatar as opposed to a custom graphic.
Do not:
- Create your own assets or separate the steeple in the logo for any reason.
- Use the logo avatar in any other application besides social media or apps. The graphic should not be used as a stand-alone logo. Departments, schools and groups should use their Core Identity Logo Lockup instead.
Clear Space
At a minimum, the clear space around the logo should be equal to the height of the upper-case 鈥淒鈥 in 鈥淪t. Edward鈥檚鈥 to maintain legibility and prominence. In addition, other logos should not be placed right next to the St. Edward's logo, possibly giving the appearance of a partnership when one does not exist.
