Our Logo
Our primary logo consists of a logo symbol, the C, with Carnegie Science set as a logotype at the center, reflecting our unified scientific community working together to advance bold ideas and groundbreaking discoveries. The circular shape also represents how we explore science across scales, from the microscopic to telescopic. Our logotype is customized and rendered to convey our gravitas and bold approach to science.
Only Carnegie Science partners and employees may use our logos. Others seeking to use the Carnegie Science identity must get permission by writing communications@caregiescience.edu. The primary and division logos are available for download as an EPS and PNG files in black and white. Modifications to the logo are prohibited.
We ask that partners update their logos in new materials going forward and online if it is reasonably easy to do so.
