For information and guidelines concerning use of the UNLV logo or to inquire about other high-resolution images for use in print, please contact our marketing department.
Official UNLV Logo
The UNLV logo is the primary element of the university’s visual identity system.
Our university mark is shown here. It is a monogram, made up of only the letters UNLV combined into a graphic. There is no shape or symbol paired with it. It has been specifically created and adopted as a singular visual element that stands alone in its purpose and integrity, very much like the university it stands for. It cannot be adequately recreated by simply typing the letters. This singular element embodies our larger unified brand, our organizational structure, and our aspirations to become a true Top Tier organization.
This mark should be displayed prolifically and appropriately. UNLV as a unified institution should always be clearly demonstrated in all marketing, advertising, and communications to external audiences.
The UNLV logo is trademarked and may not be modified in any way, including changing its color beyond scarlet, black, or white, its typeface, proportions (stretching, compressing) or embellishing (including shadows, outlines, new elements).
Note on Older Versions of Logo
The older version of the university mark (shown below) that is paired with the proper name of the university set in a black bar is no longer valid. Though still prominent on some older signage around campus, it will continue to be phased out. Please discard any old files of this logo and download or request the current version.
*DO NOT USE
Departments & Programs
Entities that function under the umbrella of a larger unit must use a “lockup” that designates them as being a part of the larger entity under which they function. Some examples of these lockups appear below. These lockups are intended for limited use in department signage and other applications. Letterhead, business cards, and one-off specialty item applications are treated separately as appropriate for the format. Examples shown.
Centers
There are many centers and institutes across campus that are based within academic units and that operate with the purpose of serving a specific need for a specific audience. These are approved and require a format that emphasizes the center name as the primary identifier while still maintaining their UNLV identity. Exceptions are determined by Integrated Marketing & Branding on a case-by-case basis. Example shown.
Academic Unit Signatures
The 17 colleges and schools, and 2 academic support centers that make up the larger university structure have been given unit signatures that clearly and emphatically associate them with UNLV, both visually and organizationally. Their identities should never be used separately from the UNLV brand, regardless of past usage or precedent. As the university moves forward toward becoming a Top Tier institution, the UNLV logo and name will be the consistent identifying factor that runs throughout all communications and visuals.
Horizontal and vertical options are available, although the horizontal versions are recommended for use in marketing and communications visual materials. Vertical versions are best reserved for signage or unique applications where the horizontal version is not useable.
The UNLV logo is the building block of all the signatures, identifying each unit as a part of the larger institution, with each element drawing visual strength from the other.
