Athletics signature
The athletics signature combines the trojan logo with the words “Little Rock” to help establish UA Little Rock’s identity within athletic programs. The signature should be used properly and consistently by university faculty and staff.
The athletics signature is used as UA Little Rock’s primary official identifier among athletics programs and should be clearly and prominently displayed on all forms of visual communication.
The signature should not be altered in any way.
Athletics wordmark
The athletics wordmark is intended for use as an alternative to the athletics signature and may be used as athletic program identifiers.
The athletics wordmark should not be altered in any way.
Trojan logo
The Trojan logo is officially licensed and registered to UA Little Rock. It may be appropriate to be used as an art element in print materials or on promotional items. When re-sizing the Trojan logo, it is imperative to keep the original proportions intact. The default logo color is black, but it can be changed to maroon or silver.
When placing the logo on a background color other than white (silver, maroon, etc.), the area inside the Trojan logo should be changed to match the new background color.
Little Rock hashtag
#LittleRocksTeam
As part of the effort to tie the brand to the city of Little Rock, the use of the hashtag #LittleRocksTeam may be used in athletic communications. The words Little, Rocks and Team should be capitalized when using the hashtag for any official University communications. The hashtag should not be displayed using a serif font.
Athletic program signatures
Each of UA Little Rock’s athletic teams have customized signatures that can be used in place of the standard athletics signature. To maintain brand identity these should not be altered in any way.
*NOTE: The Little Rock Trojans logo and wordmark should be the primary logo used for general external athletic merchandise.

Athletics Trojan Graphic
How can the Trojan graphic be used?
The trojan graphic was designed to provide a flexible art element that could be used on all applications by athletics, registered student organizations, and the UA Little Rock Alumni Association. Other official university organizations should only use the Trojan graphic on communications or materials that are directed to students or alumni.
Color
There are several color options for the Trojan graphic. In licensed apparel, the mascot may be presented in a tone-on-tone design. This presentation should use the appropriate black or reversed variation so that the face, teeth, and eyes are a lighter shade than the rest of the costume.
4-color version instructions
When printing CMYK or for digital purposes, the 4-color version of the Trojan should be used. The traditional University maroon and silver are used, along with secondary darker versions, included on the right, to add more depth to the graphic. When placed over a maroon or silver background, a white stroke with a slight drop shadow may be used to help separate the graphic from the background.
