Our Logo
The Missouri S&T logo represents us at the very highest level and is vitally important to our brand.
It acts as a signature, an identifier and a stamp of quality. It is, and should always be, the most consistent component in our communications. In order to maintain this consistency, a few simple guidelines should be followed.
Note: The Missouri S&T logo should never be recreated or typeset. Only official logo files should be used in communications. Official logo files can be downloaded directly here.

Size
To maintain full legibility, it is recommended that the minimum size of the logo be at least 0.75 inches wide for print, 64 pixels wide for screen. There is no maximum size limit, but use discretion when sizing the logo. It should never be the most dominant element on the page, but instead should live comfortably and clearly as an identifying mark.
Clear space
To ensure that clear space is maintained around the logo for legibility and prominence, photos, text and graphic elements must follow the guidelines illustrated here.
Use the S&T ampersand as a measuring tool to help maintain clearance on all four sides.

How and where to use the Joe Miner graphic
Joe Miner is to be used to promote intercollegiate athletics and Missouri S&T’s sports programs in general. Recognized student organizations, student design teams and the Miner Alumni Association also use the Joe Miner image. The image is also used with some student recruitment materials. The image provides entertainment value, as well as high visibility in the community, and fosters a sense of pride among alumni, students and other audiences.
Academic and administrative units should not use Joe Miner in their graphic identities because of the image’s close association with Missouri S&T sports, student activities, alumni activities and student recruitment activities.
Altering the image of any Joe Miner graphic is prohibited. Altered images of the Joe Miner graphic should not be used in any Missouri S&T materials, including brochures, newsletters, websites and letterhead.
The mascot is never to be reproduced, modified or used in such a way as to compromise Missouri S&T’s reputation and educational standards. Such use could result in formal or legal action against the offending individual(s) by Missouri S&T.
Vector-based, full-body Joe
This version allows for better reproduction than the original hand-drawn image. It can be used in color, in black and white and as line art.
Head image
In addition to the official pose, a close-up, vector-based image of Joe Miner's head is available for official use. It can be used in color, in black and white and as line art.
Original, full-body Joe
The original image of Joe Miner was hand drawn. It may be reproduced in full color only.
Missouri S&T’s historic emblem includes the following symbols that convey meaning to our alumni and friends:
- Crossed hammers remind us of our founding as the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1870.
- The gear, while signifying our historic emphasis in the mechanics of engineering, also challenges all alumni to pursue new ideas and knowledge, accept civic responsibility, and serve society.
- The chain signifies the strong link between MSM, UMR and Missouri S&T graduates.
The historic emblem may be used with marketing materials that are designed to communicate the university’s history or to communicate with alumni. The historic emblem should never be used in place of the Missouri S&T logo. Its use is reserved for development and alumni relations purposes only.
