Repurposing Logos

Existing logos can be repurposed as a graphic elements by extracting the icon and using it separate from the unit name. Scale, layer and crop the icon so that it becomes seen as part of the design, not a logo. The following are examples only and were not produced.

Icon as content area

The shapes from the Bell Museum icon are scaled up to make content areas and an identity system.

Example of repurposed logos.

 

Icon separated

The Weisman icon is superimposed on a photo and bled off of the page.

Example of an icon.

Use of the University's branded elements, such as the wordmark, block M, mascot marks, and colors, quickly conveys your connection to the University.
