Logo Usage

Our logo is the most prominent symbol of our identity, acting as a universal signature across all Marist communications. Its traditional, sharp design is both straightforward and impactful, delivering a powerful graphic statement.

Although the logo's simplicity is one of its key strengths, it requires careful handling. The following guidelines will help ensure it is always presented in its best light.

Specialty Use

Vertical configurations of our logos can be built for specialty use applications, including but not limited to apparel, promotional items, and signage, when horizontal space is limited. Communications and marketing approval is required before use.

Principles relative to standard logos:

  • The shield is placed above the Marist nameplate, using the same distance ratio as the standard logo formats.
  • The shield can be increased proportionally, up to 200% (two times) its original size.
  • The shield can be centered or left-aligned to the nameplate as shown in these examples. Only center the shield when other elements are centered or omitted.

Clear Space

The clear space around our logo must remain free from any other elements, including text, images, graphic designs, or the edges of the surface where it’s placed. This ensures the logo’s legibility and visibility are not compromised. To define the clear space, measure the height of the "T" in "Marist" and create a perimeter around the logo equal to that height.
