Stanford University logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Stanford University logo PNG Leland Stanford Junior University has several primary marks, including two wordmarks, the seal, and the Block “S” with a tree.
- In addition to the main version, each of the marks has secondary variations.
- Meaning and history The central part of the seal is occupied by the so-called Stanford tree.
- Contrary to a popular belief, the Stanford tree has never been the university’s official mascot.
- It is the official mascot of the Stanford Band, the student marching band representing university and its athletic teams.
- 2005 – 2012 The previous version of the signature was given in capital letters in the Sabon font.
- The glyphs were thinner in comparison with the current wordmark.
- This was the reason why the emblem was replaced – it was too thin and fine to work well digitally.
- The update was made by Bright, a design firm of Marina del Rey.
- 2012 – Today There are two basic versions of the signature: one featuring the word “Stanford” only, the other featuring the text “Stanford University.” The wordmarks are typically given in white against the red background, but a reverse and a black-and-white color scheme are also possible.
- Athletic symbol The name of the athletic teams playing for the university is Stanford Cardinal.
- As the name suggests, the team logo makes extensive use of cardinal – a noble shade of red (the same color as in the primary wordmark).
- The Stanford Cardinal logo features the block “S” that serves as the background for the Stanford tree.
- Font The official brand guidelines state that the Stanford logo can’t be accurately reproduced with any of the existing fonts, so it is probably a hand-drawn lettering.
