OFFICIAL ATHLETIC COLORS

PRIMARY COLORS
Color is one of the most important elements of the University of Central Florida athletic identity system. The colors on the right are the official colors for all of the UCF athletic logos. If these colors are not available the logos should be printed in all Black. Logos may also be used in all White on either Black or UCF Gold backgrounds. Logos may be used in all White on other dark color backgrounds only if previously approved (see page 5). UCF athletic logos are never to be reversed.**

SUPPORT COLORS
In addition to the primary colors shown above, the UCF athletic identity system utilizes Silver/Gray and White as important support colors. White helps to add contrast to Black and UCF Gold. Silver is preferred but Gray or its process equivalent can be substituted when necessary.

UCF ATHLETIC logos

The new UCF marks were designed to create a consistent brand for our athletic program. At the same time there are many variations to choose from so that there should be a design compatible to any application. The preferred logo is the primary mark shown largest on this page. Logos that do not contain UCF are for use only when either the school name or monogram have been previously presented. For example, the head alone design can be used inside a brochure if a logo or words identifying the university has been used on the cover. Or the sword logo can be used on a garment if the university name or monogram is identified in a prominent place. All artwork and variations are available in Macintosh and PC digital file formats. For information on using the logos with different words in the banners see page 8.

ATHLETIC LOGO COLOR VARIATIONS

All of the UCF athletic logos are available in full color (Black, UCF Gold, and Silver/Gray), 2 color (Black and UCF Gold), and all Black. Some examples are shown on the right. Logos may also be used in all White on either Black or UCF Gold backgrounds. Logos may also be used in all White on other dark color backgrounds only if previously approved (see page 5). The logos should never be used in all Silver/Gray.

USING LOGOS ON COLOR BACKGROUNDS

Frequently it may be desirable to place the athletic identity logos on a field of color. As shown in the examples on the right, all of the artwork has been created with a built-in outline shape that allows it to work clearly on any background. For this reason it is not necessary to alter the logos before placing them on any color, photograph or complex background. This is true of the full color, 2 color, and the Black logos. The UCF logos should never be reversed. All UCF logos may be used in all White on either UCF Gold or Black backgrounds (or on other dark color backgrounds with prior approval). The all White version of the UCF logos should never be used on light color backgrounds (such as Silver/Gray) or any complex backgrounds. It is never permissible for any photograph, pattern or complex background to show through logos (as in the example at the far right of the bottom row).

SAFE ZONES

Each of the University of Central Florida athletic logos has an established safe zone. This safe zone is intended to maintain the logos integrity and to avoid visual confusion. No other type or graphic element (including folds, trims or edges) should fall within the safe zone shown. The safe zone for most UCF athletic logos is equal to one sixth of the width of the logo (A). The only exceptions are the four horizontal logos on the far right side of the page. The safe zone for them is equal to one eighth of the width of the logo (B). This safe zone spacing is uniform on all sides of the logo. See the examples for each athletic logos specific safe zone.

USING LOGOS WITH TAGLINES

TAGLINES
The six logo configurations shown on the right are capable of presenting different tag line text in the banners. To customize the banner tag lines for a sport or activity simply open the desired art file in Adobe Illustrator (these art files are located on the Live Text UCF logo CD). The desired text can then be typed into the banner and then saved as desired for your use. Only the words below are approved for use in these Live Text files (type size must stay the same and text must be in all caps).

AVAILABLE TAG LINE TEXT

Athletics, Football, Basketball, Softball, Soccer, Golf, Volleyball, Cross Country, Track and Field, Tennis, Cheerleading, Sports Medicine, Rowing, Marketing, Communications All other wording must be approved first by the Athletic Department

Variable tag line text (fit text by expanding or condensing width and adding letterspacing never increase type size or change font)

COMPATIBLE TYPOGRAPHY & MINIMUM SIZES

UCF FONTS
The primary typeface for the University of Central Florida Identity is UCF Bold Italic. Copperplate Gothic Heavy is the font used in the banner of the UCF logos. Copperplate Gothic Heavy may be ordered from www.myfonts.com. UCF Bold Italic is a custom font and is only available through the University of Central Florida.

RETAIL APPLICATIONS
FULL COLOR RETAIL GRAPHICS
If the fabric color matches one of the official colors exactly (Black, UCF Gold, Silver/Gray or White), the fabric can show through in place of printing that color. If the fabric color does not match any official color, all 4 official colors must be used to print the logo.
These shirts would require three color printing to reproduce the full color UCF logos.

ONE AND TWO COLOR RETAIL GRAPHICS

When using logos on apparel, the art may print in Black, UCF Gold, or White as long as there is sufficient contrast with the fabric color. The one and two color UCF athletic logos are a great cost saving alternative to the full color logos.

Two color printing examples

The logo can be used in UCF Gold with approval only. If used it should be created from the Black art files and used on either Black or White as shown.

These two examples show how one color versions of the logos can look on apparel. As shown on the left, various combinations of the UCF athletic typefaces and the single color logos and monograms make it simple to create a variety of simple collegiate designs. As shown on the example on the right, it is also permissible to print just the Black art on a light color fabric without the White outline.
