The Truett McConnell word mark visually represents the overall University brand and should be prominent on all marketing and promotional materials. The word mark was created using Gotham font and is case sensitive. In order to provide flexibility with its use, several formats, layouts and colors are available.

Guidelines for Logo Use

Official TMU logos, including the word mark and any of the related lockups, should not be modified in any way. The following guidelines are listed to assist you with proper use and to contribute to a consistent and effective awareness of our brand.  Please contact communications@truett.edu if you need further assistance or have questions on logo use.

Allow space around the logo.

Use the diagrams below to determine the amount of space or padding that should be added in any application in order to give the logo proper attention. Applying the word mark without sufficient padding will result in crowding or the appearance of a new and different logo. The office of Marketing and Communications will provide you an image with padding built in upon request. Similarly, do not place the logo in a shape that could be viewed as part of the logo or interpreted as a TMU brand element.

Example of TMU word mark with padding
Horizontal word mark with padding that equals the height of the word mark

Vertical word mark with padding that equals the height of the T, line and U

Use official logos without modification.

Please do not not overlay images; add elements that hinder the readability of the logo; add dimension like emboss or shadows; skew, stretch, warp, tilt, rotate the logo; or rearrange the logo elements. The following are examples of improper use:
