Branding & Visual Identity

The Georgia Southern University logo consists of a circular image of a white eagle head with Georgia Southern Blue above the head and gold below. The words “Georgia Southern University” are set to the right of the eagle head in the Neutraface 2 font.

There are horizontal and stacked variations of the logo that can be used as needed to fit design and space considerations. The logo and variations are available in full-color and one-color (PMS 282, black and white) versions as well as a reversed full-color version for use when it appears on a non-white background. Refer to our Visual Standards Quick Guide (PDF) or Trademarks and Logo Usage (PDF) for more information.
