Clear Space
The CMI logotype requires an appropriate amount of space around it. The clear space around the graphic should be equal to or greater than the width of the m in the word microbiome. No text, graphics, or other elements should appear in this space.
When space is limited, the CMI logotype may be used as a unit together with the UC San Diego logo. Space between the elements should be equal to two cap heights (the height of the U). The rule line should be equal in width to the rule line below the campus logo and should extend one x-height (the height of the a) above and below the height of the campus logo.
Usage and Placement
Examples of using the CMI logotype with the UC San Diego logo are shown below. It is important to give enough space between the elements so they do not crowd each other.
For printed materials, the UC San Diego logo should be placed on the front (top left or bottom right) or on the back of the piece.

TYPOGRAPHY
UC San Diego’s primary typeface, Brix Sans, is available as a webfont from MyFonts. If you are unable to purchase a license for Brix, the recommended substitute for web is Roboto. Roboto is available for free through Google. It is also the font used in the latest campus web templates provided by IT Services. A traditional webfont stack (i.e. “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif) is also acceptable.
