The 含羞草研究室 Wordmark
The wordmark is the primary identifying graphic element representing 含羞草研究室.
It is our logo, and a unique signifier of the College’s “brand.” The wordmark is also trademarked, which is why it's important to use it correctly.

There are only four approved versions of the 含羞草研究室 wordmark:
The stand-alone wordmark, in black and white.
The boxed wordmark, in black and white.
The most common mistakes made when using the 含羞草研究室 wordmark fall into a few broad categories:
Do-It-Yourself
- Don't create your own black or white box around the type. The spacing and size of the box compared to the lettering is a fixed part of the protected design. If you decide you prefer a boxed wordmark over the original, please use the appropriate file.
- Please don't try to recreate the wordmark using typed text. This happens a lot in Word documents or presentation slides.
- The details of the typeface are unique and cannot be replicated by writing the name in any font.
Color and Contrast
- The boxed wordmark is black and white. Make sure that the backgroud color does not show in the text.
- Never color or tint any part of the wordmark.
- Choose the version that will provide the highest contrast with the background.
Size and File Quality
- Please don't squish or stretch the wordmark.
- Making the image larger than its original size will cause the wordmark to become pixelated and grainy. You can request a very large image if you need help.
- The minimum size for the wordmark is one inch.
- While there is no maximum size, the wordmark should not compete visually with other elements, and should be surrounded by sufficient space.
