Name, Logo, Trademarks Introduction
The brand identity of Drexel University College of Medicine consists of and is represented by all the design and verbal elements that identify the College to the public, such as our name, trademarks, and logos.
Important note: As of September 2012, Drexel University has adopted a new graphic identity system, including new logos for all Drexel schools and colleges. There is also a Drexel Medicine logo specifically for the clinical practices. Please contact the College of Medicine Marketing & Communications Department at 215-255-7330 for the correct logo for your materials.
College Name
All printed communications should carry the full name "Drexel University College of Medicine." In running text, the full name must be used on first reference. Once the full name has been used in a given document, one of these shortened forms may be used:
- "the College of Medicine" or "the College" (if other Drexel colleges are not mentioned in the same text)
- "Drexel Medicine" may be used in reference to the clinical practices.
- "Drexel Med" may be used internally. It should not be used in brochures or other public materials.
- Avoid the acronym DUCOM except for internal messages.
"Drexel College of Medicine" (without University) is not correct usage.
College Logos
The Drexel University College of Medicine logo or the Drexel Medicine logo must be placed on all printed materials issued by or in support of the College or the clinical practices, as well as on all advertisements, posters, brochures, flyers, invitations, syllabi, newsletters, educational materials, pamphlets and annual reports.
The logos must be reproduced from an official logo file. Please contact the Marketing & Communications Department at 215-255-7330 for the correct logo for your materials.
Tag Lines
Drexel University College of Medicine has used various tag lines over the years to describe the organization and reinforce its positioning statement. Tag lines may not be added to the new logo. The logo must be reproduced exactly as is from the file provided. If you wish to use a tag line or slogan elsewhere on a publication or giveaway, you must receive approval from the Marketing & Communications Department.
College of Medicine Trademarks
In order to establish and maintain their uniqueness, Drexel University College of Medicine has trademarked the words, phrases, logos and other elements that distinguish its brands.
The intent to trademark is signified by the ™ symbol. Essentially, the symbol says "we consider this to be our mark." (In order to simplify, we now use the ™ symbol, whereas in the past we have used SM.) If you are thinking about filing a trademark application, please consult with the Marketing & Communications Department at 215-255-7330.
Once the mark has been registered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the registration symbol ® is used instead.
The appropriate symbol (TM or R) should appear next to the trademark the first time it appears in a document. This includes reports, advertisements, flyers, sponsorships, websites and any other publicly available materials. The right to maintain a given trademark depends in part on its being used.
The following marks have been claimed, applied for or registered. This list will be updated as new applications and registrations take place:
