• Our dream was to develop a symbol for the field of family and consumer sciences that was as recognizable as the caduceus is for the field of medicine or the scales of justice for the field of law. Why not?
![Page 8: Family & Consumer Sciences Branding Initiative](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56816810550346895ddd9d39/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What symbol could we develop that would represent the field of family and consumer sciences?
And along with the symbol, how could we consistently describe the field of family and consumer sciences to increase our impact and presence?

• The University is concerned with the use of the official University logo. (The Extension logo is an official logo.) One of the primary concerns is maintaining the clear space around the logo. This and the other concerns are clearly outlined in the University Graphic standards. These are located at http://www.uky.edu/Graphics/GraphicStandards.pdf
