Logo & Identity
The Yeshiva University shield is the most immediately recognizable element of the University's visual identity.
Please review the following information carefully and contact our offices if you have any questions, or to obtain official lockups for individual schools, units and programs.
High-Resolution Files
Please note that the shields, logotypes and lockups shown on this site are lower-resolution and not suitable for commercial printing.
If you require high-resolution/vector-print-quality versions of the Yeshiva University shield or other visual identity items, please contact our office.
One of our branding experts will get back to you shortly.
Visual Identity
Yeshiva University's visual identity has two components: The shield and the words "Yeshiva University" (shown immediately above, and known as a "lockup").
The use and presentation of the lockup depend on the particular project. Several approved versions are available to suit a variety of different contexts.
These low resolution files are available for download.
There are also secondary and tertiary lockups identifying schools, programs and departments. Please contact us for examples and guidelines on using these resources.
Schools and affiliates that will retain their existing identity are listed on p. 22.
Prohibited changes to the lockup include altering the logo, modifying type or colors, not preserving proportions and using frames or other embellishments.
Please note: The shields, logotype variations and lockups used on this site are lower-resolution and not suitable for commercial printing. Please contact us to request high-resolution files for your project.
University Flame
The Yeshiva University flame cannot be used on printed materials or Web sites. Please contact us to learn more about usage of the University flame.
Special Cases
It may be necessary to use another institution's logo along with the YU logo—for example, when co-sponsoring an event.
Using Logos Together In Print
When positioning another logo alongside the YU logo, it is important to ensure that its height does not exceed the height of the shield. A partner logo should never dominate the YU logo. The size should be adjusted to create a visual balance where both logos have equal presence.
The logos should appear as signature marks—on the bottom or back of the printed piece.
The YU logo should always be placed first.
Using Logos Together Online
On Yeshiva University Web sites, partner logos may not appear within the top-of-screen YU branding, and partner contact information may not appear in the bottom-of-screen footer.
Partner logos may appear elsewhere on screens only in accordance with the print guidelines given earlier: i.e. with the YU logo appearing first, and with a visual balance created between the YU logo and partner logo(s).

Time to deck the halls.
Time to deck the halls.
The Gulf County Chamber of Commerce brings Christmas on the Coast back to downtown Port St. Joe on Friday, Dec. 6.
Now in its 13th year, the event will kick off the holiday season on Reid Avenue at 5 p.m. ET with horse-drawn carriages on hand to take attendees on a relaxing stroll around Port St. Joe.
Rides will be $5.
Children can have their photo taken with Santa Claus at the City Commons Park gazebo and reassure him that they�ve been well-behaved all year long.
�City workers are transforming downtown,� said Chamber Director Paula Pickett of the recently installed decorations. �The gazebo looks fantastic.
�We�re hoping there�s a chill in the air to really make it feel like Christmas.�
Funds for the white lights along Reid Avenue were raised by the Downtown Merchants Association through a community yard sale last month and a cake walk during Halloween�s Ghosts on the Coast event.
Reid Avenue businesses will be open late that Friday and offering deals to patrons while local musicians will be stationed on street corners to entertain passersby.
The celebration continues Saturday with members of the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School Band of Gold playing holidays tunes in ensembles around downtown.
A special holiday edition of the Salt-Air Farmer�s Market will be held in City Commons Park beginning at 9 a.m. ET, featuring fresh produce and local vendors with homemade holiday gifts and stocking stuffers.
The market will be extended until 4 p.m. ET.
�I would urge all the residents of Port St. Joe to come out on December sixth and seventh and support their community,� said John Parker, volunteer coordinator of the Farmer�s Market. �This will be a great event.�
At noon ET, the Junior Service League�s annual chili cook-off begins at Sailor�s Cove near the Haughty Heron.
Teams will compete for prizes and bragging rights for "Best Chili in Port St. Joe," while attendees will be able purchase bowls and enjoy a gamut of different flavors.
All funds raised from the event will go toward community service works of the JSL including purchasing clothing and school supplies for area children.
The event will host live music from Konkrete Soul, a bounce house for kids, beverages for adults and a raffle.
Team registration forms can be picked up at the Tourist Development Council Welcome Center, Haughty Heron, Persnickety and A&A Homecare in Wewahitchka or by contacting any member of the JSL.
The annual Christmas parade is slated at begin at 6 p.m. ET Saturday and will feature more than 50 holiday-themed floats snaking down Reid Avenue while judges select winners in the categories of school and non-profit, family and friends and businesses.
�It�s truly a hometown parade,� said Pickett. �It shows great community spirit.�
Bringing up the rear of the parade will be Santa himself to officially welcome the holiday season to Gulf County.
�We�re encouraging more businesses to participate in the parade,� Pickett said. �It�s great marketing � you have a captive audience of 2,000 people on the street.
�It shows a true sense of community and lets local residents know that their dollar matters.�
Those who would like to have a float in the Christmas parade can register by calling the Chamber at 227-1223. There is no fee to participate.

Last fall, I noted in these pages that Avy Claire's tree pictures made of words transcribed from the radio did more to spell out the real time of their making than any other drawings I had ever seen. In the context of a group show, it's actually quite an accomplishment to convey that kind of conceptual content with such clarity.
The consistent element of Claire's work has been her writing-like mark-making; her trees of previous shows were rendered by meandering lines of cursive script.
Her new work is different insofar as it looks more like minimalist grids (the standard bearer for intellectually intimidating contemporary art), but it is nonetheless consistent by means of the compulsively temporal rhythms of flickering hatching or scribbled script.
Claire even encapsulates her work in unwavering terms. In the statement for her current solo show at June Fitzpatrick Gallery in Portland, she notes: "In 2003 I began drawing in such a way that it became clear to me I was marking time."
I think we put too much stock in such clever sound bites. When they feel like they hit the mark, we tend to nod in knowing agreement and move on. Problem solved. We got it.
But explanations can only prepare us for experience — not deliver it. That treasure map, after all, might lead you to where X marks the spot, but you will still need your shovel.
What does it mean to spell out the artist's process in real time? Does artistic process translate directly into meaningful content in this case?
These two questions might be all you need to bring in order to appreciate the conceptual heft of "Marking Time." However, if you don't articulate such questions or you don't tend to see art in terms of self-consciously experiential terms, Claire's work could strike you as frustratingly stark.
"12.01.14," for example, comprises three sheets of frosted but transparent Mylar, each marked in columns or a grid with a different color of ink. The bottom layer features a parquet grid of taupe hatch marks — diagonally striated squares that produce diamond forms.
Over that is a small, horizontal sheet with nine wheat-like columns of climbing red loops. Over these two is a more open sheet with eight calligraphic columns of what look like (but aren't) Chinese characters or Japanese katakana.
Just looking at such work is extremely complicated. Do you start with the bottom sheet or the top? The wheat-like images seem to grow from bottom to top, and are only uncovered at the right (punctuation or the starting point?) The parquet hatching is only completely visible at the bottom of the group. And the calligraphic characters mimic a language that is read from right to left and bottom to top.
This sounds consistent and coherent, but it feels oddly over-determined to take on our inclination to read from left to right.
Moreover, Claire is essentially forcing us to see her process as reading back over time — which is quite different from flowing with a narrative. It strikes me that she is trying to mark her own labor not only as material memory, but in historical terms. In fact, I would say she is even seeking to put her own work in art historical terms with her obsessive inclusion of so many archeological data points. This could easily be taken as narcissistic self-involvement, as though Claire sees herself as a historical great.
But her metaphorical depth, as subtle and quiet as it is, is consistent enough and sufficiently focused on process to make it clear that she is interested in relating the artistic process of mark-making to labor, personal experience, memory and historical narrative. And while her pieces might first strike the viewer as intellectually reserved, together they create an insistently powerful image of an individual person with quirky obsessions and a desire to order her productive libidinal impulses.
In Freudian terms, you could say Claire's new works are like abstract versions of the "talking cure." In fact, her dozens of tiny "Point and Line to Plane" drawings hint at psychoanalytic logic: Tiny marks on their own mean nothing, but together, they form lines, patterns and clusters, and from there, spatial plateaus.
Context, in other words, is everything. This is where Claire's work leans back toward the philosophical. Time, after all, is only the marker of difference. Letters only get meanings as words. Words get meanings in sentences — and so on.
A dot means nothing. But a dot a day becomes a calendar. Scribbles in columns become stand-ins for texts; they deliver the very notion of narrative in abstract drawing.
I particularly like "12.01.12." in which Claire sews two sheets of her elegant scrawl together with red thread (not by chance the stuff of books). In this work, we see the artist's hand, the narrative as thread, the marks as labor, the flow of time, the cross-pollination of ideas/texts and so much more.
I think Claire's work is too elusive for the typical art viewer to comfortably enjoy. But if liminal conceptualism or process-oriented drawing is your cup of tea, you could well find her heady brew deliciously sophisticated.

Corn seeds developed by Swiss agrochemicals group Syngenta AG were mistakenly contaminated during 2001 through 2004 with a strain of genetically modified corn that had not been approved for distribution, the company said Tuesday.
WASHINGTON Corn seeds developed by Swiss agrochemicals group Syngenta AG were mistakenly contaminated during 2001 through 2004 with a strain of genetically modified corn that had not been approved for distribution, the company said Tuesday.
Syngenta said the problem was found in plantings in four U.S. states. But both the company and the U.S. Department of Agriculture refused to identify those states.
A federal investigation into Syngenta's unapproved corn strain will be completed soon, Jim Rogers, spokesman for USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said. Syngenta could be fined up to $500,000 for the incident, USDA said.
The government did not recall the product or make a public announcement about the incident because it was not a food safety risk, according to Rogers.
Syngenta said all of the problematic plantings and seed stock have been "identified and either destroyed or isolated for future destruction."
The company's announcement came as the European Union was pushing ahead with approving more genetically modified crops in the face of some stiff consumer opposition to what has been dubbed there as "Frankenfoods."
Syngenta said seed produced from the contaminated lines over the four-year period represented "one-one hundredth of 1 percent of the U.S. corn acres planted during that time," or 37,000 acres.
While the Bt10 biotech corn strain was mistakenly used, "there is no health or safety issue with this product," the company said.
Syngenta spokeswoman Sarah Hull told reporters the company discovered the problem in mid-December. At least three U.S. government agencies were investigating the incident.
"Syngenta recently discovered that event Bt10 was present in a very small number of its Bt11 corn breeding lines," according to a company statement. While Bt10 has not been approved by the government, Bt11 has been approved for distribution for food and feed use and for cultivation in the United States, Japan, Canada and other countries, according to the company.
While the company said it was "extremely unlikely," it added that some of the contaminated harvested grain "could have entered U.S. export channels as Bt11 through the normal process of grain exports."

Chris and Dan Brubeck thought the timing was right.
Chris and Dan Brubeck thought the timing was right.
"We'd made a very concerted effort to stay away from Dave's material," Chris Brubeck said. "But we knew he was getting older and wouldn't live forever."
So, they revisited some of their father's jazz music on "Lifetimes," an acclaimed 2012 album by the Brubeck Brothers Quartet.
They'll pay further tribute Saturday during a concert that helps conclude the 12th Brubeck Festival at University of the Pacific's Faye Spanos Concert Hall. The San Francisco Choral Artists cover their dad's classical side.
Tom Harrell, a New York-based trumpeter who drew inspiration from Brubeck's jazz-classical connection, and his quintet play tonight at San Joaquin Delta College's Atherton Auditorium.
Wynton Marsalis - a jazz ambassador in Brubeck's tradition who's organizing a 2014 tribute to the 1942 Pacific graduate - and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra perform Friday at the Bob Hope Theatre.
"Respect for his music always is growing and deepening," said Chris Brubeck, 61, who plays bass. "While he was around to appreciate it, we re-arranged some of those tunes on 'Lifetimes.' He also saw the record be very successful as straight-ahead jazz."
The album stayed in the JazzWeek top 10 for two months prior to Brubeck's death on Dec. 5 at age 91.
"His musical contributions will live on as fervently as his commitment to civil rights," Marsalis, 51, one of the most respected trumpet players in jazz, said in an email. "He was a true international ambassador who brought people together through jazz."
Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center are planning a Dave Brubeck Festival for February 2014 in New York.
"We were so happy to ... talk to Dave about the festival two weeks before his death," said Marsalis, who participates in a discussion with Pacific's Powell Scholars on Friday. "I was glad he actually had a chance to sit up and listen. ... His son said, 'Listen, if he didn't like it, he would have let you know.' "
Brubeck's dad definitely knew Marsalis.
"Dave always recognized his immense talent when he (Marsalis) was a kid," Chris Brubeck said. "He's a very talented, bright guy. Dave's career was a kind of template for what to do as an ambassador of jazz. One foot in the classical world. One in the jazz world. He's one of the few who can do both in the way Dave did it."
"Oh, yeah, it's definitely catchy," said Magen Solomon, artistic director of the San Francisco group and the Stockton Chorale. Russell Gloyd, Brubeck's manager and music director, guides her San Francisco group during excerpts from six of Brubeck's choral works.
"It's very tuneful," said Solomon, 56, who'll conduct the Stockton Master Chorale's spring concert Saturday. "It's somewhere between classical, jazz and gospel music."
Chris Brubeck is furthering his dad's traditions. Based in Wilton, Conn., he's almost constantly composing, traveling and performing. Brother Dan, 57, a drummer, Mike DeMicco (guitar) and Chuck Lamb (piano) join him in the quartet.
He's currently working on a children's musical for the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and "The Hermitage Cats Save the Day," a chamber-orchestra composition for children that'll be performed at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, on April 7.
He won't be there. Brubeck doesn't want to miss a tour with Triple Play - "kind of blues-jazz or something close" - in which he plays piano and trombone.
Brubeck's been to Russia - and many other nations - on musical-diplomacy missions with his dad. He said the family was "overwhelmed" by the reaction to his father's death.
"There were some very moving, interesting and beautiful things," Brubeck said. "If we weren't aware - which we were - it was really brought home internationally. It reminded us, as a family, how many lives and jazz fans he touched. The cliches of what a jazz guy should be? Dave was none of those things. Time and biology caught up with him. He had a great life."

Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act
Don't see this elsewhere:
Wilderness designation proposed for Fremont, New Fork Lakes, Wyoming Range (posted 4/21/09)
Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (H.R. 980)
Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online!
Under a new proposed House bill, wilderness proponents are hoping to get 24-million additional acres of public land in five states in the northern Rockies under federal wilderness protection. States impacted are Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The proposal includes significant increases to existing wilderness acreage in Sublette County, Wyoming, resulting in a significant reduction of areas open to outdoor recreation activities such as snowmobiling, boating, ATV vehicle use, and mountain biking.
The new legislation is called the "Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act" (H.R. 980) and was introduced in February, 2009, by Representative Carol Maloney, a Democrat from New York, and Congressman Raul Grijavala, a Democrat from Arizona (who is also Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands).
The bill greatly expands the amount of federal land that has tight restrictions on allowed human activities, limited access, no new development, and is closed to motorized and off-road vehicle use, mineral exploration, logging, road construction, and timber harvesting. The bill is co-sponsored by 69 legislators, none of whom are from Wyoming, Montana, Idaho or Oregon. Washington has two legislators supporting this bill. (Co-Sponsors)
The objective is to protect important wildlife habitat and sensitive species, scenic values, connect biological corridors, remove roads, replant forest clear cuts, and include new eligible waters to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The bill is touted as adding new jobs related to the restoration and road removal programs, saving taxpayers millions of dollars by eliminating government subsidized development in wilderness areas, and is predicted to create a more sustainable economic base for the local communities near the new wilderness lands.
If passed, Sublette County would see its existing wilderness areas expanded to include Bridger-Teton National Forest land surrounding Fremont Lake, Half Moon Lake, Willow Lake, New Fork Lake, Green River Lakes and large portions of the Wyoming Range. In addition, new areas that would come under wilderness management include Big Sandy Opening, Hoback Canyon, and land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Scab Creek.
The concept and legislation for this proposal are not new. This legislation has been a dream of wilderness proponents for over 15 years. First introduced in 1992, the House Natural Resources Committee held hearings in 1994, but no other actions were taken for over ten years. There have been repeated attempts to revive legislation by a host of co-sponsors with the support of a number of environmental groups, however it has never been passed.
The intent of the 2009 bill, H.R. 980, is: "To designate certain National Forest System lands and public lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, wildland recovery areas, and biological connecting corridors, and for other purposes."
Groups and individuals supporting the proposed legislation include the Alliance for the Wild Rockies, the Sierra Club, National Audubon Society, Wyoming Wildlife Federation, Idaho Sportsmen Coalition, Association of Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics (OR), Blackfeet Crazy Dogs Society (MT), Cabinet Resources Group (MT), Friends of the West (ID), Earth Ministry (WA), former President Jimmy Carter, and pop music singer Carol King.
The bill specifically mentions these areas as proposed wilderness or additions as wild/scenic rivers:
- 86,000 acres proposed as the South Wyoming Range Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 230,000 acres Bridger-Teton National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands (Scab Creek) to be incorporated into the Bridger Wilderness.
- 15,000 acres proposed as Little Sheep Mountain Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 106,000 acres incorporated into the Gros Ventre Wilderness including 24,000 acres in Shoal Creek, plus 82,000 acres of other Gros Ventre area additions.
- 18,000 acres proposed as the Monument Ridge Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 249,000 acres proposed as the Salt River Range Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 178,000 acres proposed as the Commissary Ridge Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 5,000 acres proposed as the Little Cottonwood Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- 1,000 acres proposed as the North Mountain Wilderness for land administered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
- Proposal to designate the Hoback River as the "Hoback Wild River," from the source downstream about 10 miles to the end of Forest Road 30710, to be managed as a wild river.
- Proposal to designate Willow Creek as the "Willow Creek Wild River," from the source downstream 20 miles to confluence with the Hoback River.
In Sublette County, impacts appear to include:
- RV, snowmobile, ATV recreational use would be forbidden in much of the Upper Green, Horse Creek and Big Sandy Opening areas;
- Fishing, water-skiing and all motorized boating and jet ski use would be forbidden on Fremont and Half Moon Lakes (including snowmobiles for winter ice fishing);
- ATVs and RVs would be excluded from large sections of the Wyoming Range and Greys River area for fall hunting access. Hunters would need to plan for a lengthy hike or pack animal ride to get into hunting areas and to pack their game out.
- Roads in the wilderness areas would be obliterated and access would be by foot or pack animal conveyance. It is unclear which roads would be closed.
- Mountain biking use (a mechanized vehicle) would no longer be allowed in the Wyoming Range and large portions of the western slope of the Wind River Range on National Forest land.
- It is unclear what would happen to White Pine Ski Area, Lakeside Lodge, Boulder Lake Lodge, and Big Sandy Lodge guest ranches located and permitted by the Bridger-Teton National Forest within the boundaries of the newly expanded wilderness proposals.
- It is unclear what would be the fate of existing summer homes on National Forest land.
- It is unclear what would happen to elk feedgrounds and structures within the wilderness areas.
- It is unclear what might become of the proposal to create the new outdoor college at Half Moon Lake Resort and the Burnt Lake facilities.
- It is unclear what would happen to the many developed campgrounds, boat ramps and trailheads accesses in the Wind River Mountains and the Wyoming Range.
- It is unclear what would happen to access to private in-holdings within the newly expanded wilderness areas due to removal of roads on public land in the wilderness areas.
H.R. 980 will be heard by the Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009. See the links below for more information about this proposed bill.

A few days ago, I had a chance to sample over 100 types of local and International delights courtesy of the Paya Serai's Ramadhan buffet located at PJ Hilton. In fact, I was one of the lucky few who got to enjoy the Ramadhan buffet for free which was only offered to the first 100 guests on the first day of Ramadhan. Overall, I was satisfied with the food which range from Malay, Chinese, Indian and international cuisines. Food were definitely fresh and some of the more notable dishes were grilled lamb, satay and oysters. If I have just one complain, it would be the sheer variety of food which can be overwhelming for me (and my stomach, of course). As a result, I didn't manage to try their dessert which I heard is equally good as well.
