UAH Graphic Standards Manual

IntroductionThe logo and identity graphics for The University of Alabama in Huntsville have been revised to establish consistency in branding campus-wide and to create a consistent brand experience for the university.
Primary Logo
The preferred primary logo format is shown (left).
Never stretch it out of proportion, rotate it, or screen
it. Never try to recreate the logo. Use only approved
logo files. The UAH mark should never be used alone.
Official Colors
The Pantone colors should be used when printing
stationary items. When a Pantone color is not
available, the CMYK mix may be used. The HEX value
is for screen display only.

Space and Size Requirements
Minimum Size Requirements
For legibility, the total width of the logo should not
be smaller than 1.5 inches.
Space Requirements
A minimum of negative space equal to the height of
the university name is required to avoid crowding. For
example, x equals the boundary of closest acceptable
element represented by gray box.

Approved One Color and Grayscale LogoOccasionally a grayscale version of the logo may be required from a vendor for black and white printing
(as in a newspaper). The approved grayscale version is shown below. The logo may also be reversed out
in white if the background is dark enough.

Logo Use on Color BackgroundThere are times when the logo appears on a photograph or colored background. It is important to use the correct version
of the logo in these situations so the UAH logo remains impactful.
