EP3 Brand Identity Assets

The EP3 logo is the sole visual identifier of the Effective Practices for Physics Programs Initiative and embodies a set of values that is applied to everything we create and communicate. The primary logo version should be used at all times, except when production requirements dictate a specific file type or color variation. Other logo variations should not be used based on artistic preference. If you need a logo variation to meet production specifications, please submit a request to ep3@aps.org.

The EP3 Logo was finalized June 18, 2019.

Note, to acknowledge our partnership and funding organizations, we strongly encourage you to add APS, AAPT, and NSF logos to your visual products. Organization logos can be found in the EP3 Slide Template footer.
