Restrictions
Never use the VCU seal as a standalone graphic. It must always accompany the VCU logotype unless used for official presidential business, diplomas, or regalia.
Never stretch, squash, flip, or rotate the logo. Any resizing must maintain the original aspect ratio.
Do not change the fonts within the brand mark or create your own "custom" department logos. Use only the official files provided by University Relations.
Maintain a "safe zone" around the logo equal to at least half the size of the seal. Do not overlap the logo with text, photos, or other graphics.
Do not use the VCU Rams athletic marks (the Ram head) for academic or clinical purposes. These are reserved for Intercollegiate Athletics.
You are prohibited from substituting the official VCU Gold (PMS 130) with other shades of yellow or gold.
