    Approved Logos
    Approved Logos

    BLOCK LOGO


    The Block Logo is the most commonly used logo on commercial and internally produced products. Usage of the block logo is preferable to other iterations. Other logos may be used on approval only.

    MEDALLION LOGO

    The medallion logo is used in officially sanctioned situations. Use on approval.

    HORIZONTAL LOGO


    The traditional word block logo is preferred over this iteration, but it is available in situations where a horizontal logo is necessary. An all-black version is also acceptable. Use is limited. Use on approval.

    Minimum Size
    To maintain their integrity and maximize their impact, the Ensign College Medallion and Block logos have minimum size standards of 1 inch.
  • Toggle Item
    Clear Space
    1. A "clear space" equal to the height of the capital "L" in the Ensign College Logo must be maintained on all four sides of logos when placed in printed publications or other materials.
    2. No graphic elements—including typography, patterns, illustrations, or photographs—should appear within this space.
    3. This space allows the official Ensign College logos to stand alone for better recognition and protects them from blending with text, headlines or other images.

    Backgrounds
    To ensure readability and maximize the impact of Ensign College’s visual identity program, the background colors that can be used with the Ensign College logos are carefully defined.


    • The color versions of the Ensign College Block logo should be used only on a white background. Other backgrounds colors can be considered.
    • The white "reversed out" versions of the logo can also be used on a background of the official school color of forest green.
    • To allow for more design flexibility, the visual identity system allows for the black version of the Ensign College logo to be used on any solid color background.

    There is one notable exception to these guidelines: The color versions of the Ensign College logo can be placed on photographs—provided that the photographs’ colors and patterns do not compete visually for attention. For example, placing one of the logos on the sky portion of a photo is acceptable in most cases.
