California Polytechnic State University entrusted Murray Brand Communications with branding and creating a new logo. Designers used sophisticated colors and fonts that fit into the overall concept of the university. The name “Cal Poly Mustangs” harmoniously combines with the image of a running horse. The letters “Cal” and “Poly” are positioned to the left and right of the animal, forming a small arc. Because of this, the letters are written diagonally. The inscription “Mustangs” is located below. The font of all three words is the same: with clear serifs and a double white-gold outline.
