Campus Unit Logo
We are one CSUF. Likewise so are the myriad of our campus units.
When the university and each unit are paired together visually, they provide a cohesive brand integrity with both strengthening each other's identity and reputation.
We recognize the impact each unit has upon our students and greater communities. The services and value we provide individually reflect Cal State Fullerton as a whole. Therefore the visual connection between campus units and the university lends credibility to both. For example, the typeface and size relationships in these extension logos have been thoughtfully selected to provide a strong presence of each unit and their direct association with the greater university.
