Clark Identity System
LOGOTYPE
The Clark University name is a carefully rendered and uniquely treated image.

THE MARK
The traditional shield contains a letter "C," a contemporary, stylized globe, and the university's founding date.
THEME LINE
As part of the Clark University identity system, the theme line reinforces the mission of the overall insitution.
The Signature: Clark University's primary identity element
The combination of the mark, logotype, and theme line is known as the "signature." The primary version is to be used on publications, signage, etc. It was designed to emphasize the university's name. The secondary version is intended to be used when applications require reproducing the Signature in smaller sizes. It is designed to balance the elements at the reduced size. Version A, without the theme line, is to be used in applications, such as letterhead and business cards, where there is room to display the theme line elsewhere. Version B, with a stacked version of the theme line, is to be used in applications where there is no room to display the theme line.
