For light backgrounds, always use either all-black, all-Morgan Blue, or the two-color version. For dark backgrounds, always use the allwhite version. When using the University logos on complex or distracting backgrounds, they should be placed within a solid, single color shape (eg., a box or a bar) to avoid confusion. Be sure that the shape does not intrude upon the logo\u2019s safe zone.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;762&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1776355578763{padding-top: 25px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>All Blue<\/b><br \/>\non light backgrounds<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>All White<\/strong><br \/>\non simple dark backgrounds<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Two color<\/b><br \/>\non light backgrounds<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Complex backgrounds<br \/>\n<\/b>always keep logo inside a solid shape no smaller than safe zone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Athletic Logos<\/h2>\n<p>Frequently it may be desirable to place the athletic identity logos on a field of color. As shown in the examples on the right, all artwork has been created with a built-in outline shape that allows it to work clearly on any background. For this reason, there is no need to reverse athletic logos out of dark backgrounds (athletic logos using bear images should never be reversed).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;763&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;765&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;766&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1774561032732{background-color: #165B97 !important;}&#8221; min_height=&#8221;140px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;pagetitle&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=&#8221;post_title&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:center|color:%23FFFFFF&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] University Logos It is important that the Morgan State University [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page_front-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1023","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1023"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1185,"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1023\/revisions\/1185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www1.morgan.edu\/toolkit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
