Academic department and unit logos

To address varying needs within each department, three different horizontal and vertical logo lockups are available. When promoting a single department, one of the respective University of Waterloo department logo formats can be used.

Usage

checkmark Use a department logo:

  • if you are promoting a single Waterloo department.
  • if you or your group officially represent a department at the University.

x-mark Do not use a department logo:

  • when you are promoting more than one Waterloo department or school. When your communication represents multiple departments or schools from a single faculty, the faculty logo can be used. When your communication represents multiple departments from more than one faculty, the official University logo can be used.
  • if you are an unofficial individual or group.
  • if you are an individual or group unassociated with the University.

Guiding principles

  • Use the simplest version of your logo. Communicate only the information necessary to achieve goals specific to your audience.
  • Whether or not you include the faculty in your logo is dependent on your audience and how formal you want to be perceived.
  • Logos with a program/unit do not include the faculty because they are only used to target an audience that is already familiar with the department's affiliations.

    Additional resources:

    Requesting a new logo

    Department heads must approve all new logo requests. Once you obtain approval from your department head, request logo files by submitting an online requisition to Creative Studio.
