Logos and Presidential Seal

Requesting Use of Logos

To request use of the St. John Fisher University logo, athletics logo, or Cardinal head logo, submit a Logo Request form. We will review all requests and send you the appropriate file, if approved.

Official University Logo

The official St. John Fisher University logo suite is the primary visual representation of the institution. The logos can be displayed in cardinal red, black, or white. The logo should never be recreated or typeset, and should not be produced in any other colors or tints of the approved colors. Only official logo files should be used in all marketing and communications materials.

The primary logo is the preferred graphic to use in most applications. The secondary logos may be used in some cases when a horizontal or vertical application is preferred. The official logomark (the steeple) may be used as a stand alone graphic, but only when accompanied by the full logo lockup within branding materials. However, the St. John Fisher University wordmark is not to be used separately from the steeple graphic.

Always present the logo in its entirety unless using the steeple icon. In addition, never outline or add a drop shadow to the logo. Do not stretch or distort the logo in any way.

Color Variations 

There are three different color versions of both the official logo, logomark, and School-specific logos: color, black, and white. Use the color and black versions of the logo on white or light-colored backgrounds only. Use the white versions of the logo on dark, simple backgrounds only.

The full-color CMYK logo is the preferred graphic to use in most applications. The established brand colors must be followed in all print and web treatments. All other uses are dependent upon print and web limitations.

Logo Clear Space and Sizing  

To maintain proper and maximum visibility, logos require ample space surrounding them, known as clear space.

The height of the clear space for the logos and logomark correlates with the height of the “Fisher” letters. Keep this space open and clear as shown below to maintain the integrity of the logo and brand.

There are now two official versions of the St. John Fisher University seal.

The English seal may be used—with authorization—as a design element on certain ceremonial communications, such as invitations as well as merchandise items.

Other than the above-mentioned applications, the University seal may not be used without the express permission of the director of marketing and communications.
