Here is some clarification on the font/graphic. \Debbie Re: the "Arrow" font and the MSU logotype Per University Relations: "Harley is right in terms that the font is not readily available because the Logotype was "designed" to be used a graphic element and not for people to recreate it with their own type. This allows a single image of the MSU Logotype and consistency across the mission. Allow people to make their own was not an option. It has nothing to do with the "windows" environment but everything to do with "Brand". Also the Arrow font has indeed been tweaked for the MSU Logotype, a printer who might have an old version of "Arrow" will not be the same, and again a graphic of the logotype should be used". More information is available at: [1] http://www.graphics.msu.edu/msunet/ Anyone with an MSU NetID can download a high-res TIFF or EPS version of the MSU logotype/wordmark (as well as the Spartan block S). [2] http://ur.msu.edu/snav/86/page.htm Graphics standards apply when using the MSU logotype. If this graphics standards guide does not answer the questions, further questions should be directed to University Relations. _____ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Koepf, Harley Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 2:05 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] MSU 'Arrow' Font Type What they are referring to is that the Arrow type font was used to create the MSU logo, used to spell out Michigan State University. I believe that the Arrow type font is a type setters font, and not available as a Microsoft true type font or other font usable with windows printing. There is no Arrow font that you can use in applications like Word or Word Perfect that I know of. You have to use the logo as a graphic in your document. If your having a printing shop make up something with the MSU logo on it.. they have to use the Arrow font to follow the standard. The standard was not made with the windows environment in mind.

Deming [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] MSU 'Arrow' Font Type I had an inquiry from a member of our staff today about the MSU 'Arrow' font type. As mentioned on a couple official MSU pages: "The OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY LOGOTYPE can only be reproduced as featured in the Arrow type font." The person making the inquiry mentioned that at one time a few people in our department had the font installed, but we are unable to locate it. Searches on 'arrow font' through search engines are pretty unrewarding, and searching MSU's site lead me to: graphics.msu.edu which mentioned the above statement, had downloadable images of official logos once signed in, however still provided no link or information about the font itself. Any sources or further information would be appreciated. Thank you. - Joe Joseph M.
