(1) Customizable Administrative Unit
Create a Custom Administrative Unit Logo
There are four different dynamic templates available for creating custom administrative lock-ups, giving you a range of options to fit your needs. Each option is displayed at the bottom of this page.
Before creating your customized lock-up, you must first determine which dynamic template you will need to use by answering the questions below:
1. Do you need a horizontal- or vertical-format logo lock-up?
- Choose between horizontal- and vertical-format lock-ups based on your design and available space. Additional information regarding the use of the Primary and Vertical lock-ups is available within these guidelines.
2. Should you use the Primary UVA Logo or UVA Monogram?
- Choose dynamic templates with the Primary UVA logo when a degree of formality is appropriate, for example when creating executive communications or reports.
- Choose dynamic templates with the UVA Monogram to achieve a slightly less formal feel, for example when creating promotional items such as apparel or other merchandise.
3. Will you need a one- or two-line format logo lock-up?
- You will create a one-line format logo lock-up if your administrative unit's name is less than 37 characters (including spaces).
- You will create a two-line format logo lock-up if your administrative unit's name is more than 37 characters (including spaces).
