WID Logo (for web use)
The WID logo consists of a stylized compass rosette and a wordmark in Trajan Pro 3. The black is r0 g0 b0 (#000000) and the red is r185 g0 b20 (#b90014).Our style guide includes parameters for print and web use including correct colors and buffer zones. The proportions of the logo must not be distorted. If there is a version you do not see here, please contact media@wid.wisc.edu. In limited circumstances, such as the need to use the logo in a size that would be too small to read the words, it is acceptable to use the WID acronym logo or the WID simple acronym logo.
