University Logo

Color Variations
The images below demonstrate a few common color variations.
Background Colors
You are required to place the transparent images on the correct background color.

The H. Logomark

This logomark is generally only to be used when the name of the University has been spelled out or when the full logo has already been visually applied. Examples of this would be using the logomark as an avatar on social media as the University’s name is already part of the social media handle, or using the logomark on the interior pages of a viewbook as the full logo appears on the cover. (Some exceptions apply and may need the approval of Marketing & Communications.)
You are required to place the transparent images on the correct background color. Below are the ONLY color combinations allowed for the H.

Secondary Logomark

The diamond container for the “H.” is derived from the broader brand language, and represents the multi-faceted Polytechnic education. This can be the same color as the “H.” or used in an accent color.
You are required to follow the brand standards below and place the transparent png or pdf on the correct background color. Below are the ONLY color combinations allowed for the H.

Spirit Seal
The Spirit Seal can be used instead of the Primary Logo when a circular or square logo is needed. The colors in the full color logo cannot be altered. The 1-color logos provided can be printed or embroidered in different colors. Use the "1 color-Light Background logo" when the artwork is printed in a dark color on a light background, and the "1 color-Dark Background" logo when the logo is printed in a light color on a dark background.
