Best Practices

Maximize accessibility by adding Alt text:

“Logo, Loyola University Chicago” or “Logo, Name of School, Loyola University Chicago”

  • If possible, lock the aspect ratio of the lockup to prevent distortion.
  • The lockup includes a white background for users who view messages in Dark Mode. Because of this, the lockup does not align to the text above it.
