GALILEO Logo Use Guidelines and Style Guide 4.1
The trademark of the GALILEO logo was affirmed and renewed in June 2003 with a single standardized logo that replaced various forms of the logo that had been developed over the years. The new logo must be used according to the following usage guidelines in order to preserve the trademark. Any other use or modification of the GALILEO logo must be approved by GALILEO and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Office of Legal Affairs.
General Guidelines
- The primary logo itself consists of the graphic image of a half globe, the word “GALILEO,” and the trademark symbol “®.”
- The graphic must always be used in conjunction with the slogan “Georgia’s Virtual Library” and tagline “An Initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia” both on the web and in print, except as noted below.
- The slogan “Georgia’s Virtual Library” should be placed above the word “GALILEO” in the graphic and the tagline “An initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia” should be centered directly beneath the graphic. The exception to this usage is on the GALILEO homepage, where the slogan appears beside the logo and tagline in the GALILEO banner frame.
- Exceptions under which the logo graphic may be used without the slogan and the tagline: The logo graphic may be used without the tagline and slogan on small, non-paper printed materials in which the text size would be too small to be legible. Due to size and space constraints, the small Express Link web graphic may be used for annotation of GALILEO menu items in GALILEO and institutional websites without the slogan and tagline.
Detailed Guidelines
