UC San Diego brand

The UC San Diego (campus-wide) branding, identity and logo website is here. 

UC San Diego brand download page (logos / images / brand graphics / brand guidelines / color palettes / presentation templates).

To ensure the highest possible quality of marketing materials, campus academic and administrative departments are required to seek approval from University Communications for all marketing materials designed for external audiences, as well as highly visible materials designed for internal audiences such as large-format banners, pole banners and major event signage. More information can be found on the brand review and approval site. Reach out to brand@ucsd.edu with questions.

Determining the ideal file type

For digital (eg powerpoint presentation, web page, email footers) the best file format to use would be .PNG as it offers transparent backgrounds – unlike .JPG which can not by nature.

For print (eg banners, posters, brochures) the ideal format is .EPS being a vector based file it is infinitely scalable without any loss of quality. .JPG is an alternative to .EPS, but it can’t be used against anything but white backgrounds, and the quality of JPGs will degrade significantly as the logos are enlarged.

Note: these logos are only for official use by members of the UC San Diego community.
