City Logo

Purpose

The City of Madison Logo is a symbol of authority and jurisdiction of the City. A consistent and professional style will give a distinct direction and focus to City communications. This consistent style will give credibility to City documents, help residents and visitors to feel secure when using City services, and provide a smooth and accessible user experience.

Misuse of the City logo may result in mistrust of the offending communication, and will weaken the City logo as a representation of a strong and cohesive City government.

Use

  1. The City of Madison logo must be visible on all printed, posted, digital, and online communications and materials created by the City of Madison, Wisconsin.
  2. The City logo may not be used for non-city communications or materials without the written approval of the City of Madison Mayor's Office.

See APM 3-18 Use of City of Madison Logo for guidelines and restrictions.
