Logo Guidelines

Downstate's Signature Logo:

Downstate's signature logo should appear on all communication materials and promotional items. Approval must be obtained from Institutional Advancement for use on promotional items.

logo breakdown

Downstate's logo is well known within the community and among academic medical centers. The serrated-edge seal incorporates a rendering of the Brooklyn Bridge, surrounded by Downstate's formal name, "The Health Science Center at Brooklyn." The signature logo also includes the name by which our institution is best known: "SUNY Downstate Medical Center." The font used includes a stylized "D" that is unique to Downstate.


Using the Downstate logo:

Downstate's logo is part of campus branding. Copies of the logo, including web, print and promo material friendly versions, can be obtained from Biomedical Communications.

Deviation from Standard Format:

Biomedical Communications will work with departments on incorporating Downstate's logo into graphic, web, or other visual projects. The Office of Institutional Advancement must expressly authorize the use of logos by campus-affiliated organizations or any design features deviating from SUNY Downstate's graphic standards.


Special Purpose Logos:

On occasion, and with approval from senior leadership, Downstate has approved or developed alternative logos for special purposes, including marketing or branding specific projects.  Special logos must be developed with the approval of Institutional Advancement and compliment Downstate's broader brand.

Examples include:


The Sesquicentennial Logo

50th Anniversary Campaign

The Downstate/University Hospital of Brooklyn marketing logo incorporating the names of offsite facilities.
