SUNY Oneonta has four official graphic identifiers: the university seal, the type logo, the dragon—fire-breathing or not—and the Fast O. No other graphic may identify SUNY Oneonta, and each has a different use.
The university seal is reserved for our most formal communication, which is defined by having as one of its primary goals the presentation or connotation of seriousness, officiousness, solemnity, reverence or scholarship. Programs for institutional events such as commencement or the annual Community of Scholars reception, and diplomas, certificates of recognition, and other official citations are examples of formal communication.
The type logo is designated for most informal communication, which is defined as neither being formal nor being related to any of SUNY Oneonta’s intercollegiate athletic programs. Recruitment literature, the institutional website, and display advertising are examples of informal communication.
For most communication related to the SUNY Oneonta Department of Athletics, the dragon and Fast O are appropriate. The Fast O also may be used outside of Athletics.
The official graphic identifiers may not be used in combination with one another, nor may any be incorporated into another logo.
Organizational units within SUNY Oneonta may not create their own logos, word marks or other unique identifiers. The approved identifier for offices, departments and the like consists of the name of the unit set in the Whitney medium font, colored black, under the Type Logo, colored red (see right). University letterhead reflects this design. The Office of Communication and Marketing will adapt this design, upon request, for other placements and uses.
