WGU LOGO

WGU’s logo is a graphic representation of WGU and all that the university stands for. It portrays the institution to the outside world and serves as the university’s visual signature. A strong, recognizable, university-wide visual identity is a key element in building and maintaining WGU’s reputation in the global community.

School and entity lockups

A lockup is a combination of the WGU logo with a school or entity name. These lockups are reserved for school and entity use only and cannot be edited or customized beyond sizing. For visibility, lockup font size should never be smaller than 10 pt.

To protect the integrity and readability of our brand, you must leave the required minimum (or greater) clear space around the logo or lockup on all four sides. That minimum clear space is defined as half the X-height of the WGU master brand mark. There are no exceptions to this requirement.

To ensure legibility and recognition on printed or web materials, the WGU logo, with or without the tagline, may not appear smaller than 0.725 inches wide in print, or 52 pixels wide in web use.

Note: There are times when making the logo as large as possible within the visual space it occupies can also mean making the logo visually unwieldy. When placing the logo leave space around it. It should not feel visually crowded within the space it occupies.
