If you are unsure about your design, please contact the marketing committee. We'll be happy to review and recommend changes if the design doesn't meet the guidelines.

Academic Logos

In addition to our traditional square logo we now have some horizontal orientated logos for use. These logos should not be modified unless given approval by the marketing committee. You can download the DCB brand assets below.

When using either logo it is important to leave enough space around the logo so it stands out and doesn't look cluttered. When you scale the image, you'll also want to scale the margins around the image appropriately. Use your best judgement, this is just an example.
