Graphic Identity
Below you will find some basic guidelines for the use of the various components that make up the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work’s graphic identity. The foundation of the identity lies in the consistent use of graphic elements, including the university logotypes and the school’s logotypes, as well as official typefaces, colors and marks. By preserving a professional and recognizable look, we are protecting the brand and reinforcing the quality of USC as an institution to all audiences. The existence of these guidelines does not mean materials must look exactly alike. However, the standards call for materials to demonstrate a family resemblance for the school and university. This applies to any and all entities housed under the school. All university identity guidelines can be found at identity.usc.edu. Trademarks and Licensing Services lists vendors who are authorized to use USC names and trademarks on products for promotional use by campus departments.
School Logotypes
These are our main identifiers and have been specially created for the school. Use the orientation that fits best for your intended use. Use the EPS version when you plan to print, and use the JPEG version for on-screen use only. Always download the file. Do not cut and paste from this website. In Micorsoft Word, use insert>picture>from file. Do not alter these elements in any way and always use approved artwork. Logotype sets are in EPS and JPEG formats as a zip archive.
TO ACCESS ANY BRANDED LOGOTYPE, LETTERHEAD OR POWERPOINT DOCUMENTS, YOU MUST BE LOGGED INTO GOOGLE USING A USC ADDRESS. ACCESS CANNOT BE GRANTED TO NON-USC ADDRESSES.

School Sub-unit Logotypes
The school is made up of numerous sub-units. Each has its own unique logotype “lockup,” which consists of the school’s logotype and a descriptor line set underneath. This gives the sub-unit its own identity yet still stays visually connected to the school and university. When it is necessary to feature the sub-unit more prominently, the descriptor may be used independently from the logotype. However, to maintain consistency, the guidelines prohibit the use of any additional unauthorized iconography, marks or artwork connected to the lockup.
