Downloads

Penn State's Document Services has the official Visual Identity Mark on a CD that's available for a fee. It includes PNG and GIF files suitable for Powerpoint; EPS versions of the Solid Mark; EPS versions of the Reverse Mark; and EPS versions of the campus specific Solid Marks. The files are separated into sizes based on the width of the shield and two lengths, designated 'Long' and 'Short' referring to the length of the underscore rule. It's a handy CD for a department to have!

Designers at Penn State may also choose to download these Zipped versions of the files from the DocServ CD:

Penn State Custom Shapes for Photoshop (for v.6 and above, 92K)

These are the Marks that I use. Drop the expanded '.csh' file into your Photoshop Presets/Custom Shapes folder. This set of shapes includes the Mark engineered for lower rez Web use, a regular Mark, a Reverse Mark, the Seal, the "Making Life Better" text tag, and the Intercollegiate Sports Logo. I have instructions in an mp4 clip, but if you have questions or problems, send me an email.

Penn State Marks for Flash (16K)

Getting the paths and shapes into Flash is a bit tricky; I've been using these, but kept forgetting to post them. Sorry. Try making one a button and code it to go to the Penn State main page (every place you use it, it's a link): It results in a very small file that's very scalable.
