FAQ: What official University logo should I use on a Portland State website?

The Portland State logo is the official identifier for the University. All academic and administrative websites at the University are required to include this logo by incorporating the standard Portland State website header and footer following these directions.

Portland State websites for individuals (e.g., your own personal website hosted at Portland State) and websites for official student groups may use the standard Portland State header and footer, but are not required to do so. If any website—individual, student group, or external—includes a graphic reference to the University, it must be in the form of the Portland State logo, following University identity standards.

Following are examples of the Portland State logo in standard and minimum sizes, colored PSU green and black on white. Right click on either logo to download it to your local computer. Do not use these web-ready logos for purposes other than websites; instead, find logos for other uses.

Links

When it is appropriate for the Portland State logo to be used alone rather than the standard Portland State header, the logo should be linked to the Portland State home page as in this example:

<a href="http://www.pdx.edu/" title="Portland State University"><img src="http://www.pdx.edu/sites/www.pdx.edu.syndication/files/media_assets/psulogo_horiz_std.gif" alt="Portland State University Logo" width="256" height="84" border="0"></a>

Notes

• Any and all uses of the Portland State logo must follow all the University identity standards. The logos supplied here meet identity standards for size, color and minimum clear space and should not be modified in any way.
• It is not technically possible to make a web-ready logo with a transparent background that can be displayed effectively over any color or image. Consult University identity standards for acceptable color usages.
• The Portland State seal is reserved for use on official documents such as diplomas and may not be used online.
