Brand Assets

Our primary identifying mark is The School of Labor and Urban Studies (SLU) wordmark. The wordmark should not be altered (besides being enlarged or reduced) and should be used following the guidelines below and according to our Style Guide.

The SLU logo is provided for use by SLU academic departments, research centers and institutes, administrative units, and officially approved student organizations. It may not be incorporated into, or combined with, any other mark, symbol, or graphic to create a new mark. The logo may not be used in a manner that is detrimental to The School of Labor and Urban Studies or CUNY, or to imply or suggest endorsement of any product or service not provided by SLU or CUNY. The logo may not be used in a manner that suggests official SLU communication when it is not (such as on a personal web page).
