Centennial Logo

Date: December 03, 2012    

The wrapper is off the Centennial logo. Look for it in print materials and on websites next semester.

The logo features Founders Hall, the most recognizable building on campus and one frequently visited by alumni and newcomers alike. It has a somewhat traditional look, which was preferred by focus groups of students, alumni, faculty and staff. It is also readable up close and from a distance.


HSU Centennial Logo

Here is the primary version. Three different ways, in one small package, to learn HSU is 100 - “100” and “Centennial” and “1913 ... 2013”.

HSU Centennial Logo Secondary

Here is the secondary version, which leaves out “HSU.” It is designed to be used when the full University name is already present.

For HSU faculty and staff: Business cards and letterhead featuring the logo can be ordered starting next January. Guidelines for using the logo will be available then as well. Information will be posted before the end of the Fall semester at the HSU Marketing & Communications website.

Thank You Historians!

Nearly all the historical facts and photos on this website are available due to the efforts of Joan Berman and others in HSU’s Humboldt Room; former HSU History Professor William Tanner who authored the comprehensive campus history View from the Hill (available in the University Library); and HSU alumna Katy Tahja who authored the recent photo history titled Humboldt State University (available from the Humboldt Alumni Office).
