The Villanova University logo is the center of our visual identity and the foundational building block for the full catalog of University logos that represent all levels of our community. All logos are numbered for easy reference (ex. VU01BLUE) and are available in BLUE, BLACK, or WHITE (transparent). Only the BLUE versions are shown in this gallery. When requesting a logo via the online logo request form, please reference the logo by the provided file name and appropriate color.

To ensure its integrity and visibility, the Villanova University logo and the Villanova “V” should be kept clear of competing text, images and graphics. The logos must be surrounded by an adequate clearspace—in any given format, a space equal in size to the height of the word “University”, as shown above.
The Villanova University logos may be scaled proportionately to fit everything from directional signage to small brochures. To ensure successful reproduction, the crest should not be reproduced smaller than .5 inch high and the V should not be reproduced smaller than .25 inch high.
The University's mission of fostering an academic community of students who learn to think critically, act compassionately and succeed while serving others is captured in our University tagline.
When using the tagline on it’s own, please do not typeset (key in by hand), but use the existing artwork for the tagline to ensure consistency with font, punctuation, and registered trademark designation.
For help on how to use the tagline in running text, please refer to the editorial style guidelines.
The Villanova “V” University and College-level Using the University Wordmark and Villanova V logos are more appropriate for use when the space available forces the crest to be smaller than ½ inch high. To ensure successful reproduction, the height of the “V” should not be reproduced smaller than ¼ inch high.
For instances where the logo needs to be reproduced smaller than ¼ inch high, we encourage using our wordmark, which has been typeset into a usable graphic file to ensure the relationship between the words “Villanova” and “University” are maintained.
If you have questions about which mark is most appropriate, please contact the Marketing department at creatives@villanova.edu or
610-519-3909, and you will be directed to the appropriate person.
