University of Toronto Signatures

Marketing Resources > Templates & Guides > UofT Logos

All of the University of Toronto’s signatures are official marks of the institution. As such, they should be protected and their use, controlled. Any U of T signature must always appear exactly as designed and must never be altered in any way. Legally, any misuse of the University of Toronto’s signature severely compromises the institution’s ability to protect its various official marks.

Signature Use

There are two versions of the signature – centred stacked and left justified. The left justified version should be used for all purposes unless there is sufficient space to accommodate the centred stacked signature. This format of signature may only be used for core U of T and may not be replicated by any other entity within U of T.
