 use of the logo

 

Abridged guidelines regarding the use of logo in graphic design:

  • SGH logo should be set against a uniform background only;
  • the size of the protection area depends on the type and dimensions of the logo – the width of the clear space for each logotype and coat of arms is defined in SGH Visual Identity Guidelines;
  • minimum dimensions of logotypes in print are defined in SGH Visual Identity Guidelines and presented below, in the parts concerning particular logotypes;
  • when the logo is placed near the edge of the design, the whole protection area must be included;
  • the principal colour of the logo is Pantone 7474C; CMYK: C=96, M=9, Y=32, K=29; RGB: R=0, G=116, B=129; HTML:#007481; white is also acceptable.
When using the logo in on-line materials, please ensure that it is legible, with minimum resolution of 72 ppi, and set against a uniform background in an appropriate distance from other objects (the protection area must be preserved). When resizing the logo, please make sure that the appropriate proportions are kept.
 
Before it is published or distributed, every graphic design using SGH logo – prepared by either SGH units, or external organisations and companies – must be approved by the Rector's Office in terms of adherence to SGH Visual Identity Guidelines prior to production or distribution of the design. The designs should be sent to: promocja ([at] sgh.waw.pl).

The name “Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie” and its abbreviation “SGH”, as well as the University’s coat of arms are registered EU trade marks protected by law in all member states of the European Union.
 

 TYPOGRAPHY

 

The primary font used in SGH is Open Sans typeface. It should be used in all types of materials, including ephemera, promotional materials, letters and office presentations, as well as webpages.

Legibility is of key importance in communication design. Slogans and titles should be written in a significantly larger font than the remaining blocks of text. When the text is arranged on a white or light background, the Light font should be used. When the text is set against a dark background or in reverse, the Regular font should be used.
In the case of long texts, the use of PT Serif is recommended.
 

 SGH LOGO – BASIC VERSION

 

The fundamental element of identification of the University is the acronym of its name – SGH – used as the logotype. SGH logo constitutes the primary form of identification, to be used in most situations, in both in official and informal communication.​
