For The Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center focused collateral the 鈥極鈥 framing graphic element can be used.
The 鈥極鈥 should only be placed in either the bottom left corner or the top right corner. This placement allows for the 鈥極鈥 to be placed in such a way that it blends seamlessly with the framing element.
- The frame should always have rounded corners. The radius of the corners may vary depending on the size and shape of the frame.
- The frame can be a square or rectangle.
- When the 鈥極鈥 is placed in the top right corner you need to 鈥榗ut out鈥 a small piece of the frame that intersects the 鈥極鈥.
University Co-Branding with a Sub-Brand
When branding for an SDSU department or school event, the branding should reflect 80% SDSU brand standards and 20% sub-brand standards. Use the SDSU primary brand colors for 80% of the design. The primary logo is the university unit lockup and the secondary logo is the sub-brand logo. The hierarchy of logos is established by the primary logo always to the left of the secondary logo.
