There are two main logo types, each with several variants:
- Mother logo: UAntwerp logo
- Daughter logo: faculty, research group and institute logos
Below is some more information on how to use the different file types in the logo packages.
Mother logo
The logo is always composed of this basis and the text. By default, we always use the horizontal version of the logo, i.e. with the basis on the left and the text on the right. Any other variant (centred or just the basis) is considered an exception. The text is in Prenton Medium, the two main colours are UAntwerp red and UAntwerp Blue.
This full-colour logo should always be placed on a white background. Always leave enough white space around the logo: the 'bounding box' should be half the height of the logo.

Sponsor logo
When the University of Antwerp supports an event, its logo can stand out. That's why we have a specific sponsor logo. This should not be confused with the monochrome partner logo (for when the university is one of the organisers of an event).
Monochrome or white partner logo
We use this logo when UAntwerp organises an event together with other partners.

Logo in another language
The logo is translated into English whenever appropriate. Use this logo in all non-Dutch communication. In bilingual communication (in both Dutch and English), the Dutch logo is preferred. The Dutch and English logos are not to be used side by side.

Vertical logo and other variations
The horizontal logo is the standard logo. All other variants are exceptions. Please contact nik.romer@uantwerpen.be about the use of the variants below.

Daughter logo
A daughter of the university is either a faculty, a department, a centre or an institute. Study programmes are always part of a daughter, so they don't get their own logos.
A daughter logo consists of a white 'U' in a square that has a specific colour, depending on the faculty. If the daughter is not (part of) a faculty, the square remains standard red. Some (legacy) exceptions may apply, but these will be phased out. New designs will always use the main colour.
The first line of text is always 'Universiteit Antwerpen' (or in the English versions, 'University of Antwerp'). Below this, on one or two indented lines, is the name of the daughter. Thanks to the condensed font, even long names can fit.
When to use which file type
Our
downloadable logo packages include different file types (PNG, JPG, EPS, etc.),
colour options (RGB, CMYL, WHITE) and both positive and negative logos. Here
are some guidelines on when to use each logo.
EPS, JPG, PNG and SVG
EPS
This is a vector file, which means you can resize it without any pixelation.
EPS files are used in graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and
Illustrator. When working with external graphics partners, provide them with
this file type.
JPG
This file type is compatible with most programs, but does not allow for
transparency. JPG files are widely used on websites.
PNG
This is the most commonly used file type and can be imported into almost any
program (Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc.). Unlike JPG, the PNG standard
supports transparency. Do note that it also consists of pixels, so the more you
enlarge a PNG logo, the more pixelated it will become.
SVG
This is an encoded vector file type, which can be used in Adobe Illustrator. It
can also be used on web pages. As with EPS, there's no quality loss when you
enlarge the logo.
CMYK, RGB and WHITE
CMYK
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. This file is used specifically for offset and
digital printing in four colours (called 'Quadri' or 'full-colour').
RGB
Red, Green, Blue. Suitable for when the logo is displayed on screens, for
instance.
PANTONE
We no longer offer these logos, but you can request them. They're used for
printing in two colours.
WHITE
White logo with a transparent background. You can overlay this logo onto a
photo or coloured background.
'Negative' logo
If the word 'negative' is mentioned in the file type, this doesn't mean that the entire image is inverted; it means that the text has been made white instead of UAntwerp blue, with the rounded square and any coloured lines remaining unchanged. If possible, use this logo instead of the all-white monochrome logo.
