University Seal
Next Section: Web Signature
The seal is one of Stanford's strongest emblems. It lends authority and authenticity to any web page where it appears. The seal may be used on any Stanford website which reflects Stanford's mission or administration, such as school, departmental, or administrative office sites. The seal has a formal and official quality to it, and therefore is not widely used on communications related to events and athletics, where the more informal Block "S" symbols are more appropriate.
The seal may be used as a background for watermark paper, or as a simulated watermark effect by using a very light, neutral colored background graphic, or tone-on-tone treatment.
