School, Center and Department Logos

Options to recognize your specific unit.

School and College Logos

Case Western Reserve University College of Arts and Sciences logo

The university's schools and college each have their own logos that place the school name above the university name and devote one-third of the space to the school name—putting greater prominence on the school name, while keeping the university's name as the anchor. These logos differ from ones originally released; all schools and the college must now use this logo format.

As with all logos, these school logos should not be altered or added to in any way. They should only appear in the university-provided colors: blue, white/reverse or black. They should not appear smaller than 2 inches in width.

These logos can appear on the cover of communications materials that are specific to the school or college. The formal university logo should then appear on the back cover as a sign off. In single-sided applications, such as a poster or flier, it is acceptable to use the school or center logo and forgo the formal logo. The same guidelines regarding anchored position, background control and clear zone apply to all uses of these logos.

On websites, the schools and college can use the university's logo, which links to case.edu, with the school name in titillium below it, which links to the school's homepage. This format is for web use only and is not considered a new logo. Rather, it improves the university's user experience for website visitors, allowing them to easily access both the university and the school's homepage easily, from every page.

Strategic, Interdisciplinary and Vanguard Institutes

Case Western Reserve University interdisciplinary institute logos

New logos have been created for a limited number of vanguard institutes and centers whose areas of emphasis are specifically identified in the university’s strategic plan and that involve interdisciplinary collaboration among the university’s schools.

Creation of a logo for an institute or center must be approved by the university president and provost. Please submit a project request to make a formal request.

Strategic, interdisciplinary logos are made up of four elements: the sunburst, the university name, the vertical rule and the entity name. They should not be used with the tagline.

As with all logos, these logos should not be altered or added to in any way. They should only appear in the university-provided colors: blue, white/reverse or black. They should not appear smaller than 1-1/2 inches in width.

They can be used in the same manner as the school and college logos: on the cover of communications materials that are specific to the institute or center. The formal university logo should then appear on the back cover as a sign off. In single-sided applications, such as a poster or flier, it is acceptable to use the school or center logo and forgo the formal logo. The same guidelines regarding anchored position, background control and clear zone apply to all uses of these logos.

Departments

Case Western Reserve University human resources and history departmental logos

For departments and non-vanguard centers/institutes, their names (in the university font Titillium) can be affiliated with their corresponding school or college logo, or the university logo if not affiliated with a school or college. The name of the department or center should not be positioned in a “lock-up” manner so as to appear as part of the logo; the “clear zone” space surrounding the logo should always be maintained. Download the Logo Clear Zone Guidelines.

Department names should not appear below the logo on print pieces, as the logo is to appear last as the sign-off.
