Anyone responsible for creating materials or designs is expected to follow these guidelines, including internal staff members and vendors performing services. These logo standards help send a consistent message of who we are. Every staff member is responsible for protecting the district’s interests by preventing unauthorized or incorrect use

Consistency in color throughout all media and graphic productions is essential. When the logo is reproduced, please adhere to these specifications. The Davis School District logo is primarily two colors. A secondary palette is for use in brochures, publications, or on the website when a complementary or accent color is desired.
The district mark is made up of two elements of the local landscape, the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake combined with the letter D. Davis School District is the name of this entity composed of more than 90 public schools located just north of Salt Lake City. The district’s “Learning First” is part of its identity. This tagline expresses the significance of students, teachers, parents and all support staff unified in the achievement of excellent education.
There are a variety of Davis School District logos available. Abbreviated versions are the D mark and DSD mark. Logo orientations are horizontal and centered, with and without the tagline. Which you use will be appropriate to the available space and intended message.
For best impact and easy recognition, the logo should not be crowded by other visual elements. Reserve clear space around it, as indicated by the grid behind each logo:
These logos are no longer to be used in any Davis School District schools or school communications. Changing the logo by incorporating a district department name is also not allowed.
