Howard University Colors
Howard University's identity system is unified
by a consistent color standard. This color standard
applies to all icons of the identity system.
Proper Proportions
In all applications using the University colors, blue
should always be dominant. The color red should be
no more than 30 percent of the color scheme.
One-Color Options: When printing in one color, the
icon may only be all black, all white reversed out or
all PMS 2757.
Four-Color Options: When printing in four color, the
official Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors
should be replaced with the four-color process builds.
Special Techniques: The use of blue, silver, and gold
metallic inks, embossing, debossing, use of foil, etc.
may be allowed; each case will be judged individually.
Please contact the
Office of University Communications and Marketing at (202) 238-2330 for consultation. |
