University Logo

The CSUDH logo is the core component of our visual identity system. It creates a distinctive graphic presence for our institution and serves as an instantly recognizable visual cue for our constituents. It expresses our brand through color, shape, typography, and style.

• The logo should be used in its entirety, with no alterations or additional elements added to it.
• The logo must always be reproduced from a digital master reference. This is available in eps, pdf, jpeg, and png format from the brand assets web page.

The University’s logo and logotype are used to identify an official publication, presentation, or website of the California State University, Dominguez Hills.

All other uses require permission from University Communications and Marketing.

Approved University Logo Versions

Stacked (University Name on One Line)
Use this preferred logo format whenever possible.

Stacked (University Name on Two Lines)
Use this logo format when the full university name needs to be readable from a distance, for example, on university signage.

Side by Side
Use the side by side logo when the horizontal format works best in the layout.

CSUDH (without University Name)
When the logo with the full university name does not work in the allocated space, you may use just the CSUDH logo mark. The university name should appear elsewhere on the collateral in text, preferably using the "text only" logo file provided.

Text Only
Use this logo when the full logo with university name cannot fit in the artwork space, or use in conjunction with the logo mark.

Accessibility

The logo must always have good contrast with the background to ensure maximum impact and accessibility.

Spacing and Size

In order to maximize its visual presence, the logo requires a surrounding area clear of any other graphic elements or text. Always allow at least this amount of clear space around the logo. It is important that this rule is observed and the exclusion zone is maintained at all times.

The recommended minimum clearance is to protect the logo. The logo will appear on many different applications and formats and this will help to give it clarity and presence. This is not a placement guide. It is a minimum only.

Logo size consistency is important when producing a wide range of communications.

Minimum size

Our logo must be clearly visible and reproduced consistently. For this reason, a minimum size has been established. The size is 1.5 inches measured across the width of the logo.
