The Athletics Logo

Primary logo

Southern Maine Huskies logo
Southern Maine Huskies logo
The primary "Southern Maine Huskies" logo is the official USM Athletics logo and should be used in the majority of cases because it identifies both "Southern Maine" and "Huskies." This logo should always be used in official situations, such as business communications and marketing collateral. See the usage chart for a detailed listing of situations in which this logo is used.

Secondary logos
The secondary logos can be used in most occasions in place of the primary "Southern Maine Huskies" logo. These logos, pictured below include: the "Southern Maine" logo, the "USM Huskies" logo, and the interlocking "USM" logo. When choosing a secondary logo to use, consider if the audience is familiar with the University of Southern Maine and USM Athletics. Suggestions are provided below.

All secondary logos are subject to the same color reproduction and usage guidelines as the primary logo. See the color reproduction and usage guidelines for details.

The "USM Huskies" and "Southern Maine" logos are highly appropriate for merchandise, such as shirts, caps, and mugs, but should never be used in situations that would be considered official, such as on business communications and marketing collateral.
