OUR LOGO

The WNYC logo is inspired by the New York City skyline and the equalizers found in sound equipment. The WNYC logos below are the available color options for placement. 

NOTE: The N-Y-C letters are always transparent to the background. They are only white when on a white background; they are black on a black background and when on a photo, the photo background shows through.

PLACING

When placing the logo, use the height and width of the “W” as a visual aid for the amount of clear space that should be maintained around the logo. This will ensure adequate space from competing text and imagery.

OUR TYPEFACE

The primary type family is Gotham, inspired by New York City's vernacular signage. Our secondary type family is Mercury, which can be used as a text font but never a headline.
