UMHS Style Guide

Color is an important element of the consistency and recognizability of the Health System logo. Designed for one or two colors, the logo may appear in Maize or Blue or a combination of these two colors. It may also be reproduced in black, or in white when reversing out of a background of sufficient contrast. (Learn more about the history of Michigan colors.)

Incorrect Usage

It is vital to maintain consistent application of the Health System logo, as unauthorized variations are confusing and dilute its effectiveness.

The logo should be displayed with a generous amount of space around it. At a minimum, that space should be equal to, or greater than half the width of the block M.

The logo should not be positioned close to distracting elements or upon background patterns.

None of the logo can be cut apart, positioned on an angle or altered in any way that will disturb the integrity of the logos as designed.

Please do not:
