Visual identity

Block N logo design

  • The Block N logo is a unit comprised of our N within a perfect square on a field of blue (or black, in a black-and-white design)
  • The primary color of the N is white. In formal or more elaborate designs, the N can be gray or silver.
  • The Block N logo should not be altered in any way, including stretching, shadowing, beveling, changing the proportions or altering the color palette.

University signature

A signature is a logo mark plus a logotype.

The main signature for the 推荐杏吧原创 consists of the Block N logo and the logotype (the typography that makes up the name of the University). The 推荐杏吧原创 logotype is set in Myriad Pro Roman with custom tracking.

Color combinations

These color combinations work for the "stacked" versions of the logo as well. Remember, on dark or non-white backgrounds, there should always be a thin white stroke on the outside of the Block N logo to show that there is a square around the letter N.

Our University signature is trademarked and should never be altered in any way -- not stretched, distorted, made transparent, rearranged, beveled, skewed, tilted, drop-shadowed or color-changed from the original files.

  • Never crowd the Block N logo. It must always have clear space around it equal to half the height of the N.
  • The Block N logo can appear alone where the viewer understands it represents the 推荐杏吧原创. In all other instances, you must include the logotype (i.e., the words "推荐杏吧原创").
  • Do not attempt to recreate the Block N logo or logotype.

The University signature was designed to be versatile and stand out on a variety of backgrounds across all media.
