University Logos

The Santa Clara University logo is our most important visual branding tool. Consistent use of the logo serves as an immediate identifier of the campus and helps reinforce a single, unified brand that showcases the University’s quality and character.

Any official materials associated with the University that the public may see—whether in print, online, or around campus—must include the SCU Mission logo or wordmark. For more information about logos and usage please contact the interim Art Director Colin Buckner.

University Brand Extension Logos

University logo guidelines also apply to SCU’s strategic brand extension units—also referred to as co-brands or sub-brands—which may have their own coordinated designs for marketing collateral and other communication efforts.

These units echo the themes of the institutional brand and exist to highlight reputation-building programs aimed at specific audiences, while telling the same institutional story.

Examples of the University’s brand extensions include Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, the Athletics department, and specified campaigns and programs of the Development Office.

Below is an example of the Miller Center’s official and primary logo. 

 

The newly released, official Athletics department logo leverages the core University brand, making our story more vivid and energetic as our athletics reputation rises in prominence.
