The University Visual Identity

The University Logo

The University logo should always be reproduced at the size specified for the size of material (e.g. 56mm for medium sized format).

On all materials it must be placed at the top left hand of the page. This allows us to keep control of other visual elements that might otherwise dominate University branding because the University logo will not be cluttered at the foot of the page with other marks.

If you need a copy of the logo, please contact us: cartographic@le.ac.uk

Requests for the logo to be sent to external bodies for use on their materials must be approved by the Marketing Communications Office. Please contact marketing@le.ac.uk
