Logo Usage Guidance
Full Color Versions - Preferred
Logo Color Versions
The full color logo is the preferred version for representing UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. When using this version, it should always appear against white. As a general rule, avoid placing the logo lock-ups on colored backgrounds.
The black UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals logo lock-up is available when black and white or grayscale designs are needed. When using the black versions, white is the preferred background color. Avoid placing dark lock-ups on colored backgrounds to ensure adequate contrast and legibility.
Use the reversed version (white) when placing the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals logo lock-up over navy or dark backgrounds. Be sure there is adequate contrast between lock-ups and backgrounds to ensure legibility. Reverse out of solid black only in black and white applications.
The UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals logo lock-up may be reversed out of any color within the UCSF color palette.
Clear Space and Minimum Size
Providing the right amount of clear space around the logo makes it easier to distinguish, and reinforces the importance of the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital identity. The required amount of clear space to ensure maximum visibility and legibility of the logo is determined by the height of “UCSF.”
A similar clear space requirement applies to the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital logo lock-up with tagline, location or service line. The required amount of clear space to ensure maximum visibility and legibility is determined by the height of “UCSF.”
The minimum size of the logo is set for maximum visibility and impact. The logo may scale up signi cantly larger, but never use the lockup smaller than the minimum sizes recommended above.
