Logos

The TRU logo is our signature. It’s found on a lot of things—course outlines, legal documents, mugs, computer screens, sweatshirts, and a million more. To ensure it remains a strong, credible part of our brand’s visual language, it’s important that we use it consistently and protect its integrity.

Whether our logo stands alone or is combined with brand colours, graphic elements and photography, it should follow these guidelines for size and spacing, appear in its entirety and without added text, and maintain colours and proportions.

The full-colour main logo is the best choice for most projects, particularly to our external audiences where a unified message about TRU is essential. If you need an alternative in greyscale, one colour or reverse, contact marcom@tru.ca for assistance.
