Block "S" With Tree
Next Section: Plain Block "S"
The Block "S" with Tree is the symbol most proprietary to Stanford. The tree is a simpler graphic rendition of the Palo Alto seen on the Stanford seal. Like the seal, it serves to create a sense of place: a western, California location, unique to Stanford. Compared to the University Seal, this symbol lends an informal quality to web pages. It is commonly used on materials related to events, athletics, and promotions. Whenever possible, use the Block "S" with Tree rather than the Plain Block "S" because it is more proprietary to Stanford.
For the Stanford Block "S" with Tree, the preferred presentation is in two colors: Cardinal and green. The line around the tree and the line within the outside edge of the letter "S" are always shown in white. The Block "S" with Tree may also be depicted in two colors, either cardinal-on-white, or white-on-cardinal.
