Lockups and Marks
Main 麻豆免费版下载Boulder Lockup听
The 麻豆免费版下载Boulder signature includes two elements: the logomark (interlocking 鈥淐U鈥) and the wordmark (university name). 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 logo is often called the 鈥渓ockup,鈥 which refers to the requirement that the interlocking 鈥淐U鈥 and 鈥溌槎姑夥寻嫦略剽 must remain together.
Logos and Be Boulder. graphic marks for schools, colleges, units, programs, centers, institutes and officially licensed student groups are part of 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 logo system. When used collectively and consistently, the marks provide a clear and strong unit or group identifier while also positively impacting the recognition of 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 brand.
麻豆免费版下载Boulder schools, colleges, units, programs, centers, institutes and officially licensed student groups all qualify to have a lockup created for them as a courtesy through Strategic Relations and Communications. You can request a lockup through our听brand request form.
Lockup Variations
The full color, left-aligned lockup is 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 most commonly used logo. If the left-aligned lockup is too long for the material you鈥檙e producing, the full-color centered lockup may better fit the space, such as in vertical layouts like a tall printed banner or a 160x600 digital ad.听

Color Variations
There are four color variations: full-color, full-color reversed, one-color black and one-color reverse (white). These variations exist to meet needs across different materials. Only use one-color lockups for one-color printing.
Shortened Lockups
Shortened lockups, or 鈥渟horties,鈥 exist for use on smaller merchandise (pens or sunglasses), digital ads, video bugs and other applications that are low on space. 鈥淪horty鈥 lockups are provided in the same color variations as the regular lockups.听
