At UC Irvine, we value strategic collaborations with external organizations that maximize our collective impact. These guidelines apply specifically to third-party partnerships and are designed to ensure visual balance between the UCI brand and our outside partners.
Note: For instructions on pairing multiple UC Irvine sub-brands or departments together, please refer to the multiple units section in wordmarks.
Logo Placement and Spacing
In all communications featuring an outside entity, a formal rule line must be placed between the UC Irvine logo and the partner organization’s logo. This separation ensures both brands maintain their individual prestige and equal visual prominence.
The required distance between the UC Irvine logo and the external partner’s logo must be precisely equal to two U-spaces. A U-space is defined as the height of the capital letter “U” in the UC Irvine campus wordmark.
Rule Line Specifications
The rule line separating the two distinct organizations must adhere to these technical specifications:
Stroke Weight: The line’s width must be identical to the width of the rule line positioned beneath the campus logo.
Vertical Extension: The rule line must extend one e-space above and below the total height of the campus logo. An e-space is defined as the height of the lowercase letter “e” in the campus wordmark.
Horizontal Stroke Constraint: For the alternate horizontal version, the stroke must span a minimum length equal to the width of the UC Irvine logo and a maximum length not exceeding the width of the partner organization’s logo.
