Logos

Minot State's logo consists of two parts: the top roof-line and the wordmark. They should never be arranged differently than the example shown below or combined with other design elements.

The logo is uniquely rendered. It cannot be redrawn, duplicated, or modified in any way.

Minimum logo size
The Minot State logo has been designed for use in a wide variety of sizes. However, it should never be reproduced so small that it becomes illegible or unnoticeable.

In print, the minimum logo size is 1/2 inch square, measured as the width of the logo. Never print the logo smaller than this.

For on-screen uses, the minimum logo size is 100 pixels, measured as the width of the logo. Never display the logo smaller than this.

Logo clearspace
The logo should always be surrounded by a buffer area of clear space to separate it from text and other graphic elements, as well as the edge of the page. No other elements should infringe upon this space.

The minimum clearspace needed is specified relative to the overall height of the logo.

For example: If the overall height of the logo is 1 inch, the required clearspace surrounding the logo is 1/4 inch.

Logo colors
Whenever possible, print the logo in Minot State Red. However, when this isn't possible, it is acceptable to print the logo as solid black or pure white. The logo should be reproduced so that it is easily seen and recognized. Use only the color configurations shown below. No other colors or configurations are acceptable for the logo (with the exception and approval of the Design and Print Services Office, of a Minot State sponsorship that only allows for a single color ink.)

Unacceptable logo usage
The logo design is uniquely rendered. It cannot be redrawn, duplicated, or modified in any way. While computer software has made it easy to modify graphics, modification of the Minot State logo is not allowed.

A consistently applied system of identification creates a distinctive visual profile. Any changes made to the logo undermine this goal and can, over time, defeat the entire purpose of our identity and graphic standards.

Access and compliance
Logo rules and compliance are regulated through the Design and Print Services Office.
