The Monogram is an iconic mark that provides flexibility.

Primary Monogram

Preferred mark in a limited space. When possible, incorporate the red Monogram in materials to establish the vibrancy of the Northeastern brand. When using the red N, be sure not to overwhelm the materials with a sea of red, as too much red will diminish the strength of the mark. 

Minimum size

The Monogram has the greatest legibility of all our marks and can go as small as .25” when used on its own or 20 pixels high in a digital environment. Please note: this differs from the minimum size for the monogram wordmark. If sizing that mark, please see the wordmark logos section. 

Clear space

The clear space below and above the Monogram should be equal to the height and width of the N. 

Please don’t

• Crop the Monogram. One exception is if the “N” wraps around a surface to fully display the letter. 
• Change the colors
• Add other elements
• Warp, stretch, skew or distort
• Add special effects, shadows or gradients
• Tilt or rotate
• Change the proportion composition, or orientation
• Reverse colors or add an outline
