Fonts

Many fonts are available in the Show Resources drive, for use with different shows and brands - particularly YUSU events and brands.

• YSTV’s font is Century Gothic.

Logos

When editing video, making After Effects graphics or preparing posters, always use vector images (.ai, .eps or .pdf typically) if possible - especially for logos. They are always high quality and scale infinitely - no pixelation, compression artifacts or loss of detail.

• YSTV Logos are stored in the Show Resources drive, in several variants including black and white on transparent backgrounds, and logos for our shows.
• Non-YSTV Logos are in the Image Library, also in Show Resources. These include Facebook, Twitter, the University of York, the BBC, Children in Need and others.

Colours

• The University of York: dark blue (#002663), dark green (#18453B)
• York Sport: black, white, grey (#dddddd), gold (#fcb33b)
