Montana State University Logo Download Page

These logos are provided for the exclusive use of the MSU university community
on university-related projects. All users of these logos must understand and
adhere to the MSU Graphic Identity Standards.
The logo files are configured in different electronic formats for various uses. There are too many proprietary formats for us to provide them all, but these are the most common formats and should cover the greatest number of applications. The use of an image editing application such as Photoshop can be an invaluable aid in optimizing these for specific project requirements. The files are organized according to type of final output: print vs. monitor display such as Powerpoint. Due to significant differences between these, the files have different resolutions, color-modes and compression. Logos intended for computer monitors, or online uses, are in formats that can be used cross-platform by both Macs and PCs. For more information about which file format to use, go to our File Format information page. The MSU logo in reverse (the M and Montana Sate University text in white) is also available for use, but due to cross platform issues is not available for download on this page. If you need the MSU logo to be used on a dark background please contact Ron Lambert and identify what file format or program you would like to use the logo in. If you need assistance with other logos for your project, please contact Ron Lambert in MSU Creative Services for assistance. He may be reached by phone at 994-5128 or by e-mail at Ron Lambert The MSU Logo Special attention must be paid to the use of the MSU logo. Since this is the official university logo, there are specific guidelines regarding its use. Modification of the logo in any way other than resizing is generally not permitted. Please refer to the MSU Graphics Identification Guidelines one-page rule sheet before using the logo. If you have any questions about this issue, please contact Julie Kipfer for assistance. In nearly all cases, the MSU logo must be used as outlined in the Graphic Identity Policy. However, the MSU graphic design review group will consider requests for exceptions to the policy. Read the Logo Exemption Q&A before applying for exemption, and then fill out the logo exemption form. Brand Extensions and Sub-brand logos are available for:
All academic departments and research centers that are directly affiliated with an academic college of one of these agencies or organizations should use that organization's brand extension (e.g., Department of Physics would use the brand extension for the College of Letters and Science). All other MSU entities should use the MSU core logos available for download above. To request your college of organization's brand extension logo, contact your organization's communications specialist (usually located in the dean or director's office), or contact Art Director Ron Lambert at rlambert@montana.edu. If you are unsure of which logo to use, contact Julie Kipfer, University Marketing Director, at jkipfer@montana.edu. How to Download: To download these logos to your hard drive, position your mouse over the link that indicates the format and size you've selected, then:
Tip: Saving the image to your desktop will make it easier to find. Once the logo is downloaded, you may then use it with any application that supports that particular format. |
If you are having trouble with opening the logo without a white box appearing behind the logo itself, please try out one of these two files, one is a powerpoint file (msucorelogo.ppt) the other is a word document (msucorelogo.doc). Each file contains both versions of the logo, the horizontal and the vertical, in both the normal color version and the reverse option. Open up the file, select the logo you want to use and choose copy and paste to put them into your own document. |
