Logo
A solar race car with an orange blaze trail, inspired by the DCU logo, bending around the pillars of the Glasnevin campus. It works best on clean green or black. Print it in black on white paper.
Using the logo
Do
- Set the name DCU Solar Racing to the right of the icon or below it.
- Place it on a clean green or black background for contrast.
- Use the black version for monochrome print on white paper.
Don’t
- Stretch or squash it: keep the proportions.
- Recolour it outside the brand palette.
- Add drop shadows or glows.
- Cover it with other elements, images or gradients.
Colours
Green, white and orange: the Irish tricolour and DCU’s own colours. Gradients are fine for backgrounds, never over the logo.

Partner logos
Partners appear on the car, the team kit and our social channels, with logo size scaled by partnership tier. Partner logos keep their own colours, or a plain white or black version where the background needs it, and are never distorted or altered.
