10 ATHLETICS WORDMARKS

11 WORDMARK STRUCTURE Underlying Grid The Carroll University Athletics wordmark is built on an 11-line grid to ensure maximum consistency while maintaining a high level of flexibility. The grid provides an underlying structure from which the wordmark is built. In application, the wordmark consists of two lines from the underlying structure. The pairings are either Line A and Line B, or the combination of Line B and Line C. All words in the wordmark are centered. Line A and Line C are set in United Italic Regular Black tracked to +50. Line B is set in custom Carroll lettering. A B C ABOVE BELOW

13 WORDMARK USAGE Formal Everyday Special Usage This wordmark should be used in official capacities where there is a desire to include the official name of the institution like business cards and stationery. Use of this wordmark should be approved by the Office of Communications and Marketing. These wordmarks are to be used in day-to-day business. Use of these logos, including sport-specific sub-brands, is encouraged for clothing, signage and printed materials like brochures and schedules. Because the above wordmarks do not follow the underlying grid system, their usage is strictly controlled by the Office of Communications and Marketing. Please contact them for permission to use these marks if needed.
