Logos
Logo, seal and athletic mark usage in publications for external audiences must be approved by the Office of Marketing Communications. Internal promotional pieces do not need approval but should include the university logo. Please contact Darryl Brown, our art director, at darrylb@georgefox.edu or ext. 2123 if you have questions about graphics and logo use.
Athletics
The athletics branding guidelines serve as a guide for implementing the George Fox University Athletics brand identity system. The purpose of this guide is not to restrict creativity, but to provide helpful guidelines to enable George Fox staff, partners, suppliers and licensees to express the George Fox Athletics brand effectively across a wide range of applications and media.
Template Resources
We offer a variety of template resources to the community, including electronic letterhead, branded presentation templates and virtual meeting backgrounds. Using these templates helps us ensure proper use of the George Fox brand and its brand-building resources. If you see an opportunity for an additional template, please let us know by contacting Darryl Brown at darrylb@georgefox.edu or ext. 2123.

George Fox Brand Colors
Primary Color Palette
Navy and slate blue are the primary colors to be used in large areas. Navy should always be at 100% tint, since lighter tints of it can appear slightly purple.
The slate blue, on the other hand, can be used in any percentage tint.

“Old Gold”
Old Gold and Navy Blue are the traditional school colors used in George Fox athletics. Old Gold works best when a spot metallic ink is available; it does not translate well into CMYK or RBG, which is why it is rarely used outside of athletics.
