 The Simplified Shield

simplified penn shield

The Penn Simplified Shield was developed for use when rendering the Penn Shield in a size small enough to cause the details of the dolphin and open volumes to become indistinguishable. Examples of such instances include social media avatars, favicons, and custom emoji. Use of this shield is recommended when the height will be smaller than 60 pixels.

Please contact us at ucomms-web@lists.upenn.edu for permission to use this shield and its intended placement on the web.

If you require older versions of the Penn logo or the black & white or blue monotone version of the Penn logo, please contact University Communications at ucomms-web@lists.upenn.edu.
