Our Primary Logos
Our primary University logo (full-color shield with wordmark) is the preferred logo for marketing and communication materials.
Our Secondary Logos
Secondary logos may be used in place of the primary logo due to size restrictions or other specific production requirements. The primary logos should be used whenever possible.
Our Spirit Marks
The bear head and bear paw are available for use as spirit marks and may be used to promote bear pride in University communications and promotional materials. University units are not allowed to create their own logos using the bear head or bear paw. The bear paw mark is an element to be used in materials as part of a design when a paw mark is needed. It should not be used as the identifier of the university. Spirit marks should never be used in place of the academic logos.
University Seal
The University seal is a restricted use mark. Use of the seal is primarily limited to the Office of the President and the Office of the Provost. The seal is intended for formal displays, transcripts, graduation materials, official recognition and legal documents. Permission to use the seal must be obtained through the office of University Marketing and Communications at branding@uca.edu.
