3 The Face of F&M Athletics Franklin & Marshall College s Diplomats logo family was created in fall The logo family was designed for the athletics department and sports teams, for use in publications, on uniforms and apparel, on floors, walls and vehicles, in digital projection and on the World Wide Web. Why does F&M need an athletics logo? Consistent use of the Diplomats logo ensures that F&M has a uniform appearance to current and prospective students, parents, alumni, the media, trustees, faculty, professional staff, fans of its athletic teams and the greater Lancaster community. Each constituency plays a vital role in supporting our athletes; clear communication with those constituencies is paramount. A standardized logo also helps F&M s athletic teams and programs project a unified, organized and professional appearance. The shield was chosen because it is a symbol of strength and of a commitment to superior defensive play. This manual outlines permissible uses and reproductions of the athletics logo. The athletics logo is part of the College s identity and is to be used only in association with athletics. Athletics Identity Guide for Franklin & Marshall College 3

6 The Athletics Logo Primary Logos Primary - Shield Primary - Horizontal The primary Diplomats logo, with the word Diplomats embedded in the shield, is the official athletics logo and must be used whenever possible. The primary logo typically will appear on shirtfronts of uniforms and/or on the sides of helmets. If a uniform does not lend itself to use of the primary logo, coaches may with the approval of the director of athletic communications use the horizontal logo, in which the shield is placed to the left of Diplomats. Secondary Logo The secondary logos attach a specific sport s name to the logo. This variation of the logo is mainly for use on T-shirts and polo shirts. Any coach wishing to use this version on a uniform must get consent from the director of athletic communications. All secondary logos are subject to the same color reproduction and usage guidelines as the primary logo.
