Smith School Logos & Style Guidelines

Logos

Logos are available for download in color, grayscale and black and white in four formats – EPS, TIF, JPG, and GIF. The primary logo is the first logo below and should be used on all materials unless space will not allow for it, in which case the alternate logo can be used.

  • EPS is a high-resolution vector graphic format. This format can be enlarged indefinitely with no effect on the quality of the art. This art will separate as spot color, meaning that it will provide a printing plate for black, PMS 180 red, and PMS 123 yellow.
  • TIF is a high resolution (300 dpi) pixel-based graphic format. This format should never be enlarged to more than 120% of its original size. Enlarging beyond 120% will result in deterioration of the image quality. This art will separate as 4-color process. The TIFs provided are optimized to print 7x5 inches at 300 dpi.
  • JPG is a high resolution graphic format which is best suited for use on the Web. However, the JPEG compression algorithm is not as well suited for line drawings and other textual or iconic graphics, and thus the GIF formats are preferred for these types of images, including logos. The JPEG is included in these downloads only because some logo submission guidelines specify it.
  • GIF is a low resolution (72 dpi) pixel-based graphic format which was created in Adobe Photoshop. This format is for Web use only, and should only be used at original size or smaller. Enlarging beyond 100% will result in deterioration of the image quality. This version should never be used for any print applications.

The University of Maryland has requested that the university's globe always link to http://www.umd.edu. Questions about the use of the logo should be directed to the Office of Marketing Communications.
