Our Logo

Lasting Imprint

The Northwestern Polytechnic visual identity is equal parts unstoppable force and immovable object. Sturdy and steadfast, the strong ‘P’ letterform represents an institution galvanized by industry, technology, innovation and the people of northwestern Alberta.

Running through this forward-leaning and powerful character is an ‘N’ form that conveys the kinetic energy with which we work to find entrepreneurial solutions to make the Northwest a bright beacon on Canada’s post-secondary map. This line element captures the excitement of the future along with the boldness of being on the lead edge of opportunity.

Our Fonts

Gilroy

Gilroy is the typeface used in Northwestern Polytechnic’s logo, and it is to be used as the main display font in the institution’s branded materials. A geometric sans-serif, Gilroy was selected for its uniqueness, its readibility and its modern aesthetic.

EB Garamond

Garamond is a classical and widely-available Humanist font. Its minimal contrast between thin and thick strokes make it very legible at smaller scales, making it both an excellent complement to Gilroy as well as a popular choice for post-secondary brands.
