Shield Abstraction

This delicate linework is drawn from the shape of the shield in the university’s logo. These abstractions, in full or broken up, are used to contain or emphasize headlines, as directional elements, or as subtle background components.

Broken shields are an acceptable graphical element at Tulane, with many caveats.

Restrictions

Contact the Office of Creative Services, creative@tulane.edu to obtain these elements. Do not create new elements. Use the abstractions above as a starting point in your designs, but limit the amount you use per page. Below are two examples of what not to do.

Don't turn shield elements upside down, and don't use top of shield alone.

DON'T turn any elements upside down. DON'T use the top of the shield alone.
