Subbrand logos

Subbrands include departments, divisions, offices, and other units within the School. These units are at the heart of the School and benefit from a close association with the core Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health brand. The visual identity system provides standard logo “lockups” for joining the name of a subbrand to the logomark of the School.

For more information on policies around logos and use of the School’s name, visit the Guidelines on the use of names, insignias, and logos section.

Lockups

With limited exceptions, all entities within the School—including departments, divisions, offices, centers, and laboratories—are expected to use standard subbrand logo lockups. Many of these logos have already been produced and are available for download.

Filetypes

Use PNG (raster) format files on the web and in MS Office documents. EPS (vector) files may be used by designers to produce high-resolution work suitable for high-quality printing. It is not necessary to purchase any typefaces to use subbrand logos.

Note: Live-text files

Some subbrand sets include live-text versions. These Illustrator templates are compatible with Illustrator CS6 and higher. These may only be used if an entity has had its name changed and a new set of lockups is to be created by someone other than a member of the communications team. Designers must have the Proxima Nova typeface installed to use these templates. Official subbrand logos should only use Proxima Nova and should not substitute Helvetica. See the Typography Page for more information. Please do not alter the scale, arrangement, or typesetting of the provided templates. See the primary logo guidelines section for more information.
