Logo, Tagline and Seal Usage Guidelines
Because CityU offers instruction worldwide it is imperative that the University's message and identity are
consistent. You may print a copy of this identity standards manual or use this webpage for reference.
The guide is intended to help communicate the rules and guidelines of our CityU brand message.
Consistent application of these standards over time will benefit City University of Seattle through improved awareness,
recognition and professional appearance.
Please review these guidelines carefully before using the City University of Seattle logo, slogan, seal, or any other
identifying symbol. The graphics shown in this manual are available in several formats via our
download page.
Questions about use and policies should be directed to University Relations.
The logomarks may be enlarged or reduced in size as required. The minimum size of any mark is often determined by the method
of reproduction or fabrication. The minimum size, using optimal reproduction methods, can be measured by the height of the "C" at
1/8". Using less than optimal reproduction methods, the logomark should only be used at a size which does not compromise quality
and legibility.
For the logomark to communicate effectively, it should not be crowded or overwhelmed by other elements. "Clear space" refers to the area
surrounding the mark that should be kept free from visual distraction. No graphic element or text of any kind should be placed within this
clear space unless otherwise shown in this manual. The recommended clear space is equal to the letter "U" in the University logomark
(X = width of letter U) as shown below.
Alternate Approved Usage
Where space is a premium, the logomark can be utilized as "CityU of Seattle" as shown. All other guidelines
outlined in this manual still apply, like color, size and clear space. In special instances
(such as location signage) the "CityU" logomark can be used as shown. In these instances, this stand-alone
treatment must be approved by City University of Seattle. For further guidance and approval contact Marketing at 425.709.3525.
When City University of Seattle appears within body copy, it should appear with proper grammatical spacing as
City University of Seattle and not as CityUniversity of Seattle. When using the shorter version of our name
in copy, you do no need to space the name as two words. Use CityU and not City U. You may reference the
country locations within body copy as City University of Seattle in Prague, Czech Republic and/or CityU of
Seattle in Prague, Czech Republic.
Because City University of Seattle offers worldwide instruction it is imperative that the University's name, message
and identity are consistent at all locations. The following logomark is an example of usage for City
University of Seattle when a specific location is added. All other guidelines outlined in this manual still
apply like color, size and clear space.
Approved locations are listed below. If desired, usage is approved for the country name without the
specific city, such as City University of Seattle in China. If your location does not appear, or you
desire additional special usage, you will need to contact marketing via email for approval.

must not be altered unless otherwise shown in this manual. When reproduced in color, the logomark must use the PANTONE,
CMYK, or Web color equivalents shown. The logomark can also be reproduced in PANTONE 195, black & white, greyscale and in white
reversed out of a dark color. Variations of all logomarks can be downloaded here.
Primary Typefaces
The Futura family of typefaces provide a simple yet modern appeal and helps emphasize the progressive qualities of
the university. The Archer family of typefaces is a classic serif font that compliments Futura and eases
in readability with long text blocks. The Futura family is preferred for headline, subheads and special copy. The Archer
family should be used for body copy in print advertising whenever possible.
Alternate Typefaces
In cases where the primary typefaces are not available, the Arial and Times family
of typefaces may be substituted. The use of these alternative typefaces should be
limited to body copy in general business documents and the web. These alternative
typefaces should not take the place of the primary typefaces when they are used to build the brand of City University of Seattle.
Boilerplate text
Boilerplate refers to any text that is or can be reused in new contexts without being changed much from
the original. Please use this copy when a summary of CityU or its programs is needed for third parties.
