Academic unit

Formal and informal academic unit logos are used to identify individual: faculties, departments and schools.

If you need an institutional SFU logo, please contact sfu-brand@sfu.ca.

Formal versions

Formal versions are intended for communications that require an understanding of the operational function of the unit, such as internal communications, stationery or legal documents.

Single- and two-level

The two-level version is only required when an overarching unit and sub-unit need to both be identified. These two unit names are always separated by a dark red line as shown.

Two-level horizontal version

Horizontal and vertical

In horizontal versions, unit names are split over two lines. In vertical versions, only single unit names can be used; they can be set on two or three lines to help reduce the width for narrower compositions.

Do not attempt to create or alter these logos. No additional taglines, calls-to-action or other copy should be attached to these logos.

If you need a vertical version of your logo, please contact sfu-brand@sfu.ca.

Colour variations

SFU’s formal logo files are available in colour formats— including CMYK, RGB and spot colour—and black and white. Reverse colour versions are available for use on medium- to dark-toned backgrounds.

The colour versions should be used whenever possible. Black and white is used for grayscale reproduction. These logos must be placed on a medium- or light-toned background. There are no reverse logo versions.

A complete set of logo files is available for print and digital applications in EPS and PNG formats. Only use the logo files as supplied. Do not create or alter these logos.

Informal versions

The use of informal logos by faculties, departments and schools is at the discretion of the deans.

Unlike our formal logos, these ones do not include the operational designation, like “faculty of” or “department of”.

They are intended as simple subject matter identifiers. If the operational designation must be included, a formal logo should be used instead.

Do not create or alter these logos. No additional taglines, calls-to- action, or other copy should be attached to these logos. Once your dean has approved the use of an informal logo, contact sfu-brand@sfu.ca to obtain your logo.
