Wise Athletics Brand
The primary logo for UVA Wise Athletics is the Power V. Freshly updated in 2019, it is designed to capture our strength, energy, forward motion and the pride of our athletics programs.
As our Athletics logo, this mark is intended for any and all items that need to represent UVA Wise Athletics, and only Athletics. The Power V is also available in outlined variations for use when needed. See the following page for more guidelines for color variations.
Athletics Colors
In order to maintain a strong link with the heritage of the athletics brand, we are using Highland Red and Highland Black as the primary palette for Athletics only. This will aid in the transition to a refreshed brand.
COLOR VARIATIONS
There are many color variations of the Power V needed for use on signage, uniforms, print and digital materials and internal communications. Here are the usage guidelines and approved versions for use on white, red, black, gray and photo backgrounds.
Merchandising Only
Merchandising usage is a little broader and specifically allows for several black, white, and gray color combinations, as well as the use of other institutional and promotional colors. Shown below is Jefferson blue as a special-use background.
