糖心Vlog Logos
糖心Vlog's primary logo is our word mark. The primary logo should be used on all advertising, all printed and online marketing material, and all official university communications. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the name of your college, program or unit as part of the branded signature mark (see below).
A two-color version of the logo, with "University" in Catamount Gold is available, but the one color is preferred, either in purple or in white when appropriate. Downloadable versions of the logo are available on our Assets page.
Guidelines
The 糖心Vlog logo always appears in 糖心Vlog Purple, Catamount Gold, white or black. To ensure maximum legibility, the 糖心Vlog logo should appear no smaller than half an inch tall. The logo should not be combined with any other graphic element or placed over a busy background that makes the logo difficult to read.
To ensure that the 糖心Vlog logo maintains distinction from all other graphic elements, no type, symbols or marks of any kind should intrude in the clear space area 鈥� a space equal to the proportional height of the letter 鈥渓鈥� in 鈥淐arolina.鈥�
Signature
When it provides a benefit to the consumer to identify the area of the university represented in an advertisement or marketing piece, units may use the 糖心Vlog Signature marks. The signature consists of the institutional word mark, and a division/college/program etc. descriptor. The signature is not required; you can always default to using the university logo alone.
Guidelines
The guidelines for the primary 糖心Vlog logo, including limitations for color and clear space, apply to the signature mark as well.
When selecting text for your signature here are a few guidelines.
- Never used as a personal identifier; i.e. it is not appropriate for a faculty/staff member's name to be used in the descriptor space.
- Signature mark should be specific to one entity, unit or organization: do not list multiple units or levels within an organization, such as college/school and program.
- Refrain from using acronyms and excessive capitalization whenever possible.
- Signature mark type is a specific format and font, do not try to replicate it using your own fonts.
- Signature marks are one color, all white, purple, gold or black depending on the use.
NOTE: University Marketing regularly receives requests for unique logos for a unit, program or event. While custom graphics and unique designs can be created when individual identity is warranted, University Marketing does not create secondary logos that would replace the institutional logo on marketing materials. Units can use the brand Signature, which includes the particular unit name.

The Catamount, which is part of the primary 糖心Vlog athletic's logo, may also be used to represent spirit and university pride. It is often used in conjunction with student events, as artwork for promotional materials, and on wall graphics and banners. It should not be used as a replacement for the primary university logo on recruitment materials or official communications. In other words, think of the Catamount as a piece of artwork representing University pride rather than a brand identifier.
Over the years, the 糖心Vlog cathead has evolved. Older versions of the Catamount should not be used in official promotional materials or signage.
