Lockups and Marks

At the core of 桃色视频鈥檚 visual identity are our 桃色视频 lockups, graphic marks associated with our Be Boulder. brand platform, and 桃色视频 Athletics marks. Consistent use of 桃色视频鈥檚 marks provides a strong visual identity that audiences can easily recognize.

Main 桃色视频 Lockup听

The 桃色视频 signature includes two elements: the logomark (interlocking 鈥淐U鈥) and the wordmark (university name). 桃色视频鈥檚 logo is often called the 鈥渓ockup,鈥 which refers to the requirement that the interlocking 鈥淐U鈥 and 鈥溙疑悠碘 must remain together.

Logos and Be Boulder. graphic marks for schools, colleges, units, programs, centers, institutes and officially licensed student groups are part of 桃色视频鈥檚 logo system. When used collectively and consistently, the marks provide a clear and strong unit or group identifier while also positively impacting the recognition of 桃色视频鈥檚 brand.

桃色视频 schools, colleges, units, programs, centers, institutes and officially licensed student groups all qualify to have a lockup created for them as a courtesy through Strategic Relations and Communications. You can request a lockup through our听.

Lockup Variations

The full color, left-aligned lockup is 桃色视频鈥檚 most commonly used logo. If the left-aligned lockup is too long for the material you鈥檙e producing, the full-color centered lockup may better fit the space, such as in vertical layouts like a tall printed banner or a 160x600 digital ad.听

Color Variations

There are four color variations: full-color, full-color reversed, one-color black and one-color reverse (white). These variations exist to meet needs across different materials. Only use one-color lockups for one-color printing.

Full-color - #1 used lockup for light backgrounds
Full-color reversed - #1 used lockup for dark backgrounds
One-color reversed - used for one-color prints
One-color black- used for one-color prints

Shortened Lockups

Shortened lockups, or 鈥渟horties,鈥 exist for use on smaller merchandise (pens or sunglasses), digital ads, video bugs and other applications that are low on space. 鈥淪horty鈥 lockups are provided in the same color variations as the regular lockups.听

Sizing and Placement

When adding a lockup to CU materials, imagine the mark as a university 鈥渟ign off鈥 on the听bottom right or left of the design. When placing the mark, adhere to these guidelines for placement and sizing:

Clear Space

Maintain the designated 鈥渃lear space鈥 to ensure the mark has room to breathe wherever it is placed. We measure the minimum 鈥渃lear space鈥 by the height of the 鈥淯鈥 of 鈥淯niversity鈥 in the wordmark.听

Minimum Size

The following diagrams depict the smallest possible size for each lockup. This is to ensure readability and balance in design.

The left-aligned lockup minimum width is 1.75 inch. The centered lockup minimum width is 1 inch. The left-aligned shortened lockup minimum width is .75 inch. The centered shortened lockup minimum width is .75 inch.

Usage Guidelines

  • Do not alter the lockup鈥檚 fonts and colors.
  • The lockup must always have the minimum clear space around it. This ensures the lockup is easily visible, stands alone and does not look like part of any other content or imagery.
  • A lockup must be on all branded materials.
    • Exceptions:听If the user/audience is already seeing a lockup, there鈥檚 no need to add another. For example:
      • Main channel social media posts (lockup is already present in icon)
      • In an email header or footer
