Logos

Our logo has two components: the crest and the wordmark. See below for information on how to use our logo correctly in various situations.

We also own a number of official marks used for ceremonial purposes, including the academic seal, the coat of arms, and the university tartan.


Vertical

The vertical stacked format gives prominence to our crest while balancing the wordmark. It works in most applications.

Protective space between elements

The logo should be separated from other graphics, equal to or greater than the width and height of the letter ‘A’ in 'CALGARY'.


Protective space from edges

The minimum space from the edge of your format gives the logo breathing space. The distance to any outside edge must be two times the width or height of the letter 'A' in 'CALGARY'.
