Using the Oxford logo on screen
You should follow these guidelines when using the Oxford logo on a screen. If you’re using the logo on something that’s going to be printed use the logo for print guidelines.
The Oxford logo
The primary Oxford University logo is the square logo. You should use this square version of the logo most of the time.
You must
- only use the horizontal rectangle version of the logo if height (vertical space) is restricted
- always use the correct logo artwork without any modifications or additions.
Using the logo on backgrounds
You can use the logos on a light or a dark background. The keyline is now built into the logo, so you can use the same file on any background.
Size and positioning
You must always retain the original proportions when resizing the logo to avoid distorting the image.
You must use a minimum width of 65 pixels for the square version and 123 pixels for the rectangular version.
Ideally, you should position the logo top left.
Leaving clear space around the logo
You must leave some empty space between the logo and other design elements to make sure the logo stands out clearly.
The exclusion zone should be a minimum of 30% of the height of the logo for both the square and the rectangle logo.
What not to do
- Do not rearrange any element within the logo
- Do not recolour the logo
- Do not rotate the logo
- Do not tint or use any transparency on the logo
- Do not replace the fonts in the logo
- Do not alter the proportions of the logo
