MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY PACERS ATHLETICS VISUAL IDENTITY GUIDELINES

Introduction As the Marywood University Athletic programs have continued to grow and develop, so too, has the need for a unified visual identity system that will make a strong statement for the University and the Athletics and Recreation Department. The new athletics visual identity will complement the opening of the Center for Athletics and Wellness. By establishing a striking visual identity for the Pacers, Marywood University will gain a more professional look and a higher, more recognizable profile as a university in athletics competition. The new logo design will give the Athletics and Recreation Department the opportunity to establish one standard uniform identity and give the University a consistent look across all athletics teams. This coherent look is very likely also to ignite new interest in the retail sale of clothing and merchandise to fans, alumni, and students—which in turn will continue to promote pride in teams and generate support for the athletic programs. The most basic yet comprehensive component of a strong institutional athletic image is a unified visual presentation. Collectively, all elements of the Marywood University Athletics Department must present a consistent image that reflects our quality, professionalism, and mission. The new athletics logo comes in both a two color and a black and white version. It will be used on all athletics-related materials so that it conveys a consistent message from Marywood University. When someone from Marywood communicates with the public about Marywood University athletics, that communication contributes to the University’s reputation. Public appearances, athletics publications, stationery, newsletters, T-shirts, displays, business cards, advertisements, media interviews, web sites, flyers, signs and other forms of communication represent not just the individual or program, but the University’s entire athletics program. When the symbol is used correctly, the result is a strong, overall graphic identity that inspires confidence in players and staff, and enhances the reputation of the program and the institution. This Athletic Visual Identity Guidelines manual outlines how and when Athletics and Recreation Department staff, merchandising and printing vendors, and the media may use the Marywood University athletics logos and logotype in publication and in other media uses. This manual covers most, but not all, examples of acceptable usage. For clarification on the appropriateness of other usages, please consult the Director of Athletics and Recreation at 570-9614721or the university Art Director in the Marketing and Communications Office at 570-961-4741.

Athletics Visual Identity Guidelines All materials printed or produced by the Marywood University Department of Athletics and Recreation, or in the name of Marywood University Pacers, will adhere to the guidelines of the Marywood University Athletics Visual Identity. You may print the electronic version of this manual found on the Department of Athletics and Recreation webpage. The graphic elements contained in this guide are not to be altered in any manner and are reserved for use by Marywood University Athletics only. The Director of Athletics and Recreation must approve any exceptions. > Individuals may not order any merchandise (clothing, stationery, etc.) that do not conform to these guidelines, including all items purchased/produced in-house or by third-party vendors. > Apparel-related items may require additional guidelines. Please contact the Director of Athletics and Recreation or university Art Director. > All design and ordering of stationary, envelopes, and business cards must be initiated through the Marketing and Communications office. Marywood University’s athletics imagery is one of the most visible representations of the University’s visual identity. In order to strengthen and maintain this image, the University has developed this guide to define specific, acceptable uses of athletics logos, images, and fonts: > When printing the names of individual teams and programs, the University's approved font must be used. > Each of the images shown in this guide must appear in a horizontal and square position. No other format is acceptable. > Use of any previous images, letterhead, and other athletics design elements must be discontinued as new items are ordered. > In accordance with all graphic standards and uniform guidelines, images shown are only a sampling of how the logos will be personalized to fit each athletics program.

Letter Formatting The professional impact of the Athletics and Recreation Department’s letterhead and envelopes can be greatly enhanced by formatting letters with appropriate alignment, spacing and typefaces. All letters on Marywood University athletics letterhead should be left justified and block formatted (no paragraph indentations). Also, the preferable typeface for letters is Times New Roman. If Times New Roman is not available, use another readable serif type. Sans serif type such as Arial is difficult to read and should be avoided. Follow the margins shown below. 1/2”
