Logo System
The logo should be applied in solid University red. Where necessary, you may use the logo in 90% black or solid white.
Why Our Logo Matters
Our logo is the flag we fly over all the exceptional work we do. This guide will help you use the logo correctly and consistently so that your unit both enjoys and contributes to the excellent reputation of University of Utah Health.
When you use the logo—fly the flag as it were—you instantly establish familiarity and credibility with your audience. You evoke the positive attributes that distinguish us.
What are these attributes?
Market research tells us that our patients and the public recognize us as health and science’s best and brightest, collaborating to provide leading edge treatments, train tomorrow’s specialists and expand man’s understanding of health and disease. They know us for our deep and broad health care expertise.
Engage your audience’s high regard for University of Utah Health. Use the logo in all your communications.
Service Lines
Your service line (i.e. Cardiovascular Center, Urogynecology, College of Nursing) is identified outside of the logo field to provide greater versatility and prominence for your service line. This is a change (effected in September 2009) from the previous logo architecture where service line’s were embedded in the logo. Now, we all share a common logo. Individual service lines do not have a unique logo.
Effective communications will leave your audience with a clear understanding of your college, department, program, etc. and the message you have to convey. Use the University of Utah Health logo to endorse your communication.
Service lines must be typeset in Sofia Pro. Use Title Case in body copy and addresses, as shown in the stationery samples. Use ALL CAPS in Sofia Pro Light when service lines are prominently displayed on the cover of collateral; on apparel; or on premiums such as water bottles or totes.

Unacceptable Alterations
The logo is a unique piece of artwork and should be reproduced consistently. Incorrect uses of the logo are shown below.
The logo consists of three elements: the U, the DNA, and the logotype. These elements must be retained in their fixed relationship to one another.
The logo may never be altered in shape or proportion.
