This slogan should be accompanied by the Rocky Sweep logo, the text “Leatherneck Athletics,” or “Western Illinois Athletics.” When the slogan is adapted to smaller sizes in Photoshop, it may be desirable to lessen the strength of the drop shadow to maintain the same general proportions; the gradient will scale automatically. The arrangment above, is the primary arrangement for the slogan, but the following two alternate arrangements are encouraged when the composition of a design makes them more appropriate.
ALTERNATE FORM
PG. 3
Gold on purple is the primary appearance of the slogan. White on purple is the secondary color scheme. Purple on white is the third color option. The three color version is digital media only. The slogan is permissable in black or white, but is discouraged.

LOGOS

Logos 1 & 2 must have a white stroke when used on a purple background. Logo 3 must be accompanied by the text “Western Illinois” somewhere on the same design. The eyes and teeth of Rocky in all logos must always be white. When fully opaque, the logos should not be obstructed. When given lower opacity, however, they can be used as background images or watermarks. The logos are shown in preferential order.
Primary marks should be used whenever possible. “Leathernecks” may be omitted or replaced with a sport title. If needed, a white outline may be used around the logo.
SECONDARY MARKS Secondary marks should be accompanied by the words “Western Illinois” somewhere on the same piece in a prominent location. Rocky’s eyes and teeth must always be white.
LETTER MARKS Letter marks are only to be used with express permission from the athletic director. INTERNAL USE ONLY.
