Eagle Athletics

Athletics marks are immediately recognizable and should be the starting point when creating materials. An formal logo must be present on all formal athletic materials, including advertisements, billboards, websites, print pieces, and any other pieces that represent Eagle Athletics.

Marks should always be consistently reproduced with the highest quality and should appear on the front and/or back cover of all formal athletics materials.

Utah State University has an interest in maintaining a strong visual identity that symbolizes the Utah State brand and our university's impact throughout the state, nation, and world. To ensure immediate recognition, we use a limited number of colors for our logos: "Aggie" blue, white, black, gray, and full color.

There are many options that can be used to promote a cause, show inclusion for minoritized groups and identities, and support cultural celebrations. University Marketing and Communications, Trademark Licensing can help with ideas, suggestions, and options.

Athletics marks cannot be used on the color red and cannot be modified/manipulated in any way.

Eagle Shield

The eagle shield is the official mark for Eastern Athletics, this mark is restricted to Eastern Athletics use only and should not be used on any marketing or promotional materials for Utah State University Eastern outside of the Athletics Department. Athletics marks should not be used in connection with an academic department, unit, division, or program.

The eagle shield cannot be used on the color red and cannot be modified/manipulated in any way. If placing text below or to the side of the eagle shield, please refer to the area of isolation guidelines below.

Mark Area of Isolation

To maintain visual integrity of the university logos and wordmarks (marks), a minimum area of isolation must remain clear around them. Reference the examples below for proper area of isolation scaling. 

The area of isolation space must be kept clear of competing visual elements, wording, and distracting images. Visual elements may not be paired with, or used in close proximity to, the official university marks. The area of isolation is required to prevent confusion and competition with the university marks. As a rule, do not incorporate text or unofficial marks that overlap, or begin to blend, with the university’s marks. If adding text outside the area of isolation, do not use the Utah State, Univers, or Trajan fonts. These are reserved for official logos. Please see alternative typefaces for font recommendations.
