Athletic Logos
The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is passionately committed to encouraging the growth and well-being of student-athletes and programs that are consistent with the larger University brand.
While giving a nod to the heritage and history of the Athletics department we have reimagined the brand to reflect the modern university that Adelphi continues to become. Aligning the athletics identity with the larger university results in a cohesive look that strengthens our public identity and brand awareness.
If you have any additional questions please refer to our frequently asked questions or contact Office of University Communications and Marketing.

Lettermark
The University lettermark was created for use where placing the entire wordmark is not possible, such as the small space allotted for social media profile photos. The mark can be surrounded by a gold, brown or black background or set over a pattern or photo that is specific to the department using it.
Additionally, the University lettermark can be used as a design element on materials as long as the primary wordmark is displayed on the same piece.
There are two exceptions to the lettermark being used alone—on internal signage in an Athletics setting, such as in the center of the field or court and on official athletics uniform in which another piece of the uniform displays the wordmark.

Below is a full list of each, along with a brief explanation of their practical use:
- .PNG is the best format to upload to the web or mobile apps; basically anything with a digital display. It has a transparent background, so it will lay nicely on top of any background you put it on. It is a pixel-based format, which means that enlarging causes the quality to suffer.
- .PDF is an editable vector format which can be universally viewed on any computer with Adobe Acrobat or another PDF viewer.
Color Modes:
- CMYK should be used for full-color print projects. It stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black), which are the ink colors used in full-color standard printers.
- RGB should be used on any digital display. It stands for Red, Green and Blue, which are the colors used to create color variations on screens.
We’ve compiled a variety of tips and best practices for taking photos which help us tell vibrant stories through photography.
All photographed subjects must either sign an on-camera release (PDF), or, if photographing a public event, a general notice (PDF) needs to be posted at the event entrance.
No, you should not attempt to create your own logo. University Communications and Marketing can assist with creating correct sub-brand logos for certain departments or initiatives.
