University Brand Marks
The TU brand mark is modern and timeless, inspired by the bold pattern in Maryland’s state flag.
The university brand marks are rooted in Towson University’s past, and designed for TU’s future. Use these primary, formal marks on all university branded materials.
TU’s Horizontal Brand Mark
This version of the brand mark should be used whenever possible for both printed and digital items. The brand mark has been carefully crafted and should be used exactly as seen here. Don’t add, alter or remove any graphic elements, in order to keep the integrity of the mark. Do not create or add additional characters to this mark.

Horizontal Brand Mark Clearing
To ensure the brand mark is never crowded or overshadowed by other elements, it’s important to adhere to these guidelines. The clearing space on the top, bottom, left and right of the brand mark is % of the height of the “T” in “TOWSON” from the wordmark. No elements or graphics should encroach on the clearing space, so the brand mark stands out wherever it’s used.
Horizontal Brand Mark Minimum Size
TU’s brand mark should always be readable – we want people to see it. It should never be used smaller than the minimum size shown here – 125 pixels or 7/8” across.
TU’s Vertical Brand Mark
This is the secondary version of our brand mark. This version of the brand mark can be used if space or composition calls for a more vertical orientation. The brand mark has been carefully crafted and should be used exactly as seen here; do not add, alter or remove any graphic elements, in order to keep the integrity of the mark. Do not create or add additional characters to this mark.

Partnership or Sponsorship
TU’s brand mark is often shown as one of several different logos. For example, when Towson University is sponsoring an event with other organizations, TU’s brand mark might be paired with the other organization’s mark. When pairing the university brand mark with brand marks from other entities, be sure to separate the brand marks with thin lines. Use the size of the marks to denote whether TU is an equal partner, or primary sponsor with other organizations playing a supporting role.
