    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.
