The university logo
The logo of the University of Göttingen consists of the letters G and A as well as the name Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. In addition, the University's mission statement is integrated into the logo, insofar as the size shown permits: In Publica Commoda - For the Good of All - was already written on the University's founding medal in 1737, and the University has been committed to this mission statement since its founding.
When using the logo, some basic instructions must be observed. For example, the logo must not be compressed, stretched or distorted in any other way, and it must not be provided with a frame, shadow or comparable elements. The view of the logo is always horizontal; rotated or inverted use is not permitted.
The University logo is coordinated for joint use with the UMG and SUB logos. In these cases, the logos are set so that the names of the institutions converge.
Protective space
A protective space is defined around the logo, which must generally be adhered to. This protective zone determines the distance to possible edges as well as to texts or illustrations. The size of the protective space to be maintained is shown in the following illustration:
