Our District Logo Set
The Carrizo Springs CISD district logo serves as the unified identity for all schools, programs, and official district communications. Featuring the custom CS Badge, which combines the district's initials, historic paw, and established year of 1914, along with a custom wordmark, the logo reflects the district's rich tradition, school pride, and forward-looking vision while remaining bold, recognizable, and highly legible across print and digital applications of all sizes.
• ORIENTATION & LAYOUTS •
To keep the logo clear and readable in different situations, several approved versions are available.
• COLOR OPTIONS •
The logo should only be used in the approved color versions, with the full-color version preferred whenever possible and legible:
Full Color On Light
Full Color On Dark
One Color On Light
One Color On Dark
• LOGO SPACING & SIZE •
To maintain visual clarity and brand integrity, always preserve clear space around the logo. Use the height of the C as a consistent unit of measurement. No text, graphics, or other elements should appear within this area. This buffer ensures the logo remains legible and impactful across all applications.
• IMPROPER USAGE •
- Do not distort the logo in any way
- Do not change the original solid color with an outline
- Do not change the font or detour away from the brand colors
- Do not place the logo against any background that doesn’t create contrast
- Do not add drop shadow
- Do not rearrange logo elements
• EXPIRED LOGOS •
• WHICH FILE TYPE TO USE •
Our logo package includes multiple variations of our logos and marks. Each variation is available in different file types, indicated by the extension at the end of the file name (ex: .jpg).
-
A vector file is ideal for printing, embroidery & etching. The edges will always be sharp regardless of how large you scale it. Whenever a printer asks for our logo, send them this version to scale as they need without pixelated edges.
-
A rendered, or rasterized, file that is commonly used and easily shared. These files can be shrunk, but never stretched an larger than their original size, or they will appear blurry. A .jpg will always save with a white background. This will be a large file, 300dpi, good for printing in the CMYK color space.
-
A vector file that is saved in a format that most people can see and easily share. This PDF is a high-resolution file that’s great for printing.
-
A rendered, or rasterized, file that saves with a transparent background instead of white. These files can be shrunk, but never stretched any larger than their original size or they will appear blurry. Use these over .jpgs wherever possible.
