Where Can I put a Departmental or Section Logo? 

An icon which has been designed to represent the Department or Section independently from its title, is effectively a sub-brand, and should be placed at the bottom of the Web page on the left hand side but above the navigation bar. It should be smaller than the University logo used on that page. 

A typographical treatment of the Departmental or Section name is not viewed as a departmental logo and may be placed anywhere in the document providing that it is smaller than the University logo, for example the depth.

A 'typographical treatment' just uses a typeface format for the whole text of a department or section name. It can be used in any layout and position. A format and style of an abbreviated department/section name creates a visual identity rather than simply conveying information and is not considered a 'typographical treatment'.

Example of a Sub-brand used by the Learning Technology Section:

If in doubt default to sub-brand.
