Affiliate
Affiliate wordmark suites of the university include our centers and institutes. Since the affiliate’s name will not include the Iowa State University name, the wordmark visually represents these relationships. NO OTHER LOGOS, SYMBOLS OR TYPE TREATMENTS should be developed or used for these groups.

Area of Isolation
An area of isolation must be utilized for the wordmark to achieve maximum visual impact. Do not place type, photos, or any other high contrast elements within this area. The area of isolation represents the space surrounding all four sides of the wordmark and can be measured by 1/2 of the height of the letter “I” in “Iowa” of the university wordmark.
-
Color
When the wordmark includes the affiliate name, the wordmark/affiliate combination can only be printed in one of the following colors.
-
Minimum Size
The size of our wordmark's large capital letters (I, S, or U) should be no smaller than 1 pica (.17 of an inch) in cap height, to ensure sharp and legible reproduction.
-
Typography
The affiliate name should be typeset in Univers Black upper and lowercase. Additionally, the size of the affiliate name is determined by making the height of the first capital letter in the unit name equal to half of the height of the cap “I” in the wordmark.
-
Trademark Symbols
When the wordmark appears on apparel, it should always have a ® registration notice. When the wordmark appears on any other type of merchandise, including display banners, the ™ notice should be used. The ® and ™ notices are not needed on stationery, marketing collateral or interactive communications.
Correct placements for both the ® and ™ notices with the wordmark are shown below.
