Logo(s) / Official Colors

For more information, please reference the Branding Guide. For copies of logos for all the campuses of the University of Maine System, visit UMS Style Guide and Downloads.

The official University of Maine Cooperative Extension logo is required on all Extension materials.

Extension’s official logo is required on all University of Maine Cooperative Extension materials, including brochures, flyers, fact sheets, newsletters, posters, promotional items, advertisements, etc.

Extension’s logo (shown above) incorporates UMaine’s crest art with our own logotype. The logo must be used in the exact proportions and layout as shown above (visit the What Not to Do page). The crest and the typewritten words constitute an entire logo; the elements should not be separated. The logo is shown here in the official color combination of PMS (Pantone Matching System) 292 UMaine light blue and PMS 289 UMaine dark blue.* When the logo is printed in a single color, the light blue should not be printed as a tint or grayscale, but as a solid.
