The NMC has two logo families. The newest of these, an orange or
black square with the letters "nmc" within, is used to
identify the New Media Consortium. Trademark status for this logo
has been applied for.
The official NMC colors are: PMS 1375 (orange); PMS 638 (blue),
and PMS 431 (grey). The tag line should appear with the square wherever
it appears, unless the words would be unreadable. Official fonts
for the NMC are Arial Black for large text and Myraid Roman for
small text.
The second family of logos is the traditional stylized version
of the letters "NMC" that has been associated with New
Media Centers for many years. This "Blue Diamond" logo is a trademarked symbol
meant to identify organizations who have been awarded the designation
of New Media Center.
