Two-color logo guidelines
Size of logo:
This logo should follow the same size guidelines as the black logo in all creative.

Two-color don’ts
The UW Medicine two-color logo must never be altered, adjusted or redrawn in any way. Inconsistent use detracts from our brand equity and recognition and negates the consistency we strive to achieve. Examples are shown here illustrate incorrect uses of the logo.
Black and white logo guidelines
A clear area equivalent to the height of the W must surround the logo
When reversing the logo, the preference is to reverse a white logo out of the primary purple or black palette. Colors within the color palette may be used in cases where purple or black are not available or are not the best fit (e.g., T-shirts, hats, banners, etc.)
Unacceptable usage of the UW Medicine black and white Logo
Inconsistent use of the UW Medicine logo erodes recognition and brand equity. The following examples illustrate logos that do not meet UW Medicine brand guidelines. The proper standards for logo usage should be applied across the UW Medicine system.
