Research Communications

• The new logo for your administrative unit within Office of Research should replace any logos you have used previously.
• Most unit names have been edited in the logos to remove “Office of” to eliminate redundancy (i.e., “Office of Research Compliance” is “Research Compliance”; Office of Internal Grants & Awards” is “Internal Grants & Awards.”
• Logos include the name of the unit in conjunction with Office of Research (i.e., “Internal Grants & Awards/Office of Research.”
  • Exception: “Sponsored Projects Administration” (no “Office of Research”)
  • Only official logo files should be used, including but not limited to: printed publications (brochures, flyers, forms), websites, PowerPoint presentations, video productions, exhibit materials, posters, banners, etc.
  • Logos should never be copied from a website.
  • See the UGA Brand Toolkit for detailed guidance on co-branding, typography, colors, graphic elements, photography, digital and print standards.
  • Any intended use of the University of Georgia name or logo on merchandise, whether it is to be sold or given away, must be approved. Contact Research Communications for assistance.

Logos are available in:

• Alternative versions (formal, horizontal, extreme horizontal).
• Different formats for print or screen.

Email signatures should follow the example below. (This is the same format as recommended previously, with “Office of the Vice President for Research” changed to “Office of Research.”)
