General Usage Guidelines

• The UND Logo System is the primary way to create a consistent visual identity for the University of North Dakota.
• The UND Logo System must be used prominently in the design of all print and digital communications associated with the University.
• The official logos and marks within the UND Logo System must not be altered or modified in any manner.

Use of Logo Variations

• The Primary UND Logotype is the main identifier for the University.
• The Flame Logo, the University Signature, and the University Seal are UND's secondary identifiers.
• The University Seal is reserved solely for formal, legal, or academic uses.
• When appropriate, University units may use their Primary and Secondary Unit Logos as their main identifiers.

Partnership Logos

• The UND Logo System should not be used in conjunction with any other logo.
• In situations where partnerships with external organizations exist, the trademarks or logos of the partners may be displayed in print and digital communications. The partnership logos:
  • Should not be given greater prominence than the UND logos and marks, and 
  • Should be clearly separated from the UND logos and marks.

Unique UND Logos

• Graphic elements that appear to connect or combine the UND Logo System with other logos or graphics should not be used without prior written approval from U&PA.
• Any University units wishing to create and use Unique UND Logos must have prior written approval from U&PA and must use them in accordance with the UND Identity Guidelines.

The colors of green and orange comprise one of the most distinguishable elements of the University's identity. Official colors are Pantone 347 (green) and Pantone 165 (orange).

	Color	Pantone	CMYK	RGB
	UND Green	Pantone 347	93,0,100,0	0,154,68

Preferred 3-Color Versions

The 3-color versions of the UND Logotypes (including Primary and Secondary versions of the UND and Unit logos) are always preferred.

• 1st Preference: Green UND, Orange Flame, and Black Signature
  
• 2nd Preference: Green UND, Orange Flame, and White Signature
  

If the 3-color versions do not work or are not available, designers may choose from the color variations listed below in order of preference.

Acceptable 2-Color Versions

• 1st Preference: Green UND and Signature with Orange Flame
  
• 2nd Preference: White UND and Signature with Orange Flame
  
• 3rd Preference: Green UND and Flame with Black Signature
  

Please note that a 2-color combination of a Black UND and Signature with an Orange Flame should not be used.

Acceptable 1-Color Versions

• 1st Preference: Green
  
• 2nd Preference: White Reversed Out
  
• 3rd Preference: Black
  

The color of the Flame should be at 100% tint or opacity. Do not scale back the color of the Flame in the various versions of the UND Logotypes.

Note: If designers are restricted to a 1-color design that does not allow for Green (PMS 347), Black, or White, they may use the PMS color available (e.g., promotional item). However, this option should be used only as a last resort, as it is not typically accepted to recolor the UND Logotype.
