Logos & Marks
Primary Logos
CU University of Colorado Colorado Springs Logo
The CU UCCS logo is the cornerstone of the UCCS brand and serves as a key identifier of official university communications. It connects our campus to the broader University of Colorado System while maintaining our distinct identity.
The logo includes two elements: the logomark and the wordmark. Always use the approved artwork and never recreate, alter, or reposition these elements. Together, they reinforce our connection to the CU System and support a cohesive, recognizable brand.

Increased use of the CU UCCS logo helps build a unified brand across university communications and experiences.
