in august 2009 the university introduced new graphics for argonaut athletics

into the family of UWf graphic identity marks.

the new athletic marks are striking both in their uniqueness and versatility. it is

our hope that the new graphics will strengthen the argonaut brand among our

students, alumni and community constituents and that our brand will also find

greater acceptance in the marketplace.

each time one of our marks is seen, it should be quickly recognized and

identified. Brand recognition depends on consistency of use. this manual,

which outlines all UWf brand graphic standards, is intended to serve as a guide

for users. We enlist your help in preserving the integrity of the UWf brand as

you show our colors.

the University of West florida is a large, diverse organization whose primary

mission is to provide outstanding educational opportunities for the citizens

of our region. to help our constituents recognize the value UWf brings to

this endeavor, we need to clearly identify and communicate the UWf brand.

one way we do that is through consistent use of an officially licensed family of

graphics to represent our institution visually. When we appropriately use the

designated colors, emblems and type styles in all communications, we protect

the integrity of our brand. this manual serves as a guide to assist university units

and vendors who work with the university in producing branded materials from

publications to merchandise and Web sites. the following pages illustrate how

we expect our brand identity to be conveyed visually.

uWF colors: Blue of the sky

and Green of the sea

Mascot: argonauts, referring

to Jason and his legendary crew

of sailors, who experienced

perilous adventures in the their

quest for the Golden fleece.

emblem: the Chambered

nautilus, a symbol of growth,

change and accomplishment,

representing excellence

and perfection in nature,

dr. harold Crosby, the

university’s first president,

selected the chambered

nautilus to symbolize UWf.

president Crosby was inspired

by the poem, “the Chambered

nautilus,” by oliver Wendell

holmes.

University of West florida Graphic and Brand identity standards Manual 5

Most large companies and organizations create specific visual images or logos

to be used in conjunction with the organization name. these graphics convey

each company’s brand identity. they also represent the values of that company

and represent the brand promise: the company’s expression of quality.

Why is Brand identity iMportant?

a unified and consistently used brand identity creates instant recognition for a

company and its product. does a university have a product? of course. UWf’s

product is education: sharing knowledge, creating understanding, expanding the

wisdom and wonder of the universe. as products go, it’s one of the best.

our Brand identity

What is included? the university’s institutional and athletic graphics, school

colors, Web presence, editorial style and images are all integral parts of the

UWf Graphic and Brand identity.

support colorsin addition to the primary colors shown above, the UWf identity system utilizes black and white as important support colors. White helps to add contrast to primary colors. Black is the default color to use for UWf logos when the official colors are not available.

U W f a t h l e t i C l o G o s

the new UWf athletic marks were designed to create a consistent brand for the UWf argonauts. there are many variations to choose from so that there should be a design compatible to any application. the four-color and three- color logos are shown on the right.

logos that do not contain “UWf” or “West florida” are for use only when either the school name or the UWf monogram have been previously presented. for example, the “argos” design can be used inside a brochure if a logo or words identifying the university has been used on the cover. or the argonaut head 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 25.

the two-color UWf athletic logos shown on the right are unique because they do not contain either of the school colors (UWf athletic royal or UWf athletic Green). for this reason it is encouraged that they be used with the school colors on licensed product, printed communications, internet pages or any other applications. as shown on pages 22-24, these logos may also be used in all UWf athletic royal, all UWf athletic Green or in the special “school Color” versions that use both UWf athletic royal and UWf athletic Green. By using these color versions these logos can feature the UWf colors of logos UWf athletic royal and UWf athletic Green.

in addition, the UWf athletic brand includes a border design shown on the right. the border design can easily be extended by placing additional banner art side by side (see top of this page). the border should only be used in the colors shown.

frequently it may be desirable to place the UWf athletic 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. if the outer outline holding shape’s contrast isn’t sufficient enough with the background you can turn the outer gray holding shape to white. remember that the UWf argonauts logos should never be reversed (see page 21).

the all white logos should not be placed on a complex background because the background pattern will show through the logo. see example below.

so that UWf can maintain the design integrity of its brand and maximize each logo’s effectiveness as an identifier, it is mandatory that all logos be applied as indicated in this manual without modification. the logos are not to be altered in any way without permission. shown on the right are unacceptable uses of the UWf argonauts logos.

Full-color retail Graphicsif the fabric color matches one of the official colors exactly (UWf athletic royal, UWf athletic Green, UWf athletic navy, UWf athletic 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 four official colors plus white must be used to print the full color logos.

note: if the contrast of the outer gray out-line with the background isn’t sufficient it is permissable to turn the outer gray outline to white. see example (gray shirt).

All four of these shirts would require four color printing to reproduce the full color UWF Argonauts logos.

This shirt would require five color printing to reproduce.

alternatiVes to

Full-color retail GraphicsUWf art may also print in all black, all UWf athletic royal, all UWf athletic Green, all UWf athletic navy, all UWf athletic Gray or all white as long as there is sufficient contrast with the fabric color. the one- color argonauts logos are a great cost saving alternatives to the full color logos.

As shown in this example, it is also permissible to print just the UWF Athletic Royal, UWF Athletic Green, UWF Athletic Navy or black art on a light color fabric without the white or gray outer outline.

The “School Color” logos (UWF Athletic Royal, UWF Athletic Green and white), shown on page 7, are an excellent way to have the school colors on a non-school colored garment such as navy or gray.

This is a good example of how the compatible fonts can be used in conjunction with the UWF Argonauts logos.

By oliver Wendell holmes (1809-94)

this is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,

sail the unshadowed main,—

the venturous bark that flings

on the sweet summer wind its purpled wings

in gulfs enchanted, where the siren sings,

and coral reefs lie bare,

Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.

its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;

Wrecked is the ship of pearl!

and every chambered cell,

Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,

as the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,

Before thee lies revealed,—

its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!

year after year beheld the silent toil

that spread his lustrous coil;

still, as the spiral grew,

He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,

stole with soft step its shining archway through,

Built up its idle door,

stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.

thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,

Child of the wandering sea,

Cast from her lap, forlorn!

from thy dead lips a clearer note is born

than ever triton blew from wreathed horn;

While on mine ear it rings,

through the deep caves of thought i hear a voice that sings:—

Build thee more stately mansions, o my soul,

as the swift seasons roll!

leave thy low-vaulted past!

let each new temple, nobler than the last,

shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,

till thou at length art free,

leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!
