New Fonts
Antique Olive and Hepta Slab are available for free through Adobe Creative Cloud. Hepta Slab may also be found for free in Google fonts. Antique Olive can be purchased at MyFonts.com.
University of South Alabama Logo
The University logo has not changed and should be used where appropriate. Unit IDs
are also acceptable on collateral and apparel or specialty items. These logos can be found in the toolkit or can be downloaded here.
Ready South Go Logo
There are two lockups for Ready South Go (horizontal and stacked) in several different colorways. These logos can be found in the toolkit or can be downloaded here.
Legacy Fonts
There are some cases where Sofia and Surveyor are still acceptable for use. Building signage, for example, will not
change, so it would be appropriate to use one of these legacy fonts. In addition,
we will carry over another font, Cervo, for use in branding. The bold, condensed sans serif replaces United Sans as a legacy font and can be purchased
here. United Sans should no longer be used.
