THE HISTORY OF OUR LOGOShortly after the Ohio Department ofHighways was rechristened the OhioDepartment of Transportation in 1972, acontest was held to develop a new logo, oremblem for ODOT. The selected design wassubmitted by Randy Witherspoon of thePublic Information staff at ODOT’s CentralOffice in Columbus.ODOT officials were looking for a symbolshowing mobility without confinement orlimitation. They felt an abstract creationwould be best, so the emblem would fitfuture transportation concepts, as well asconcepts which were current in 1972.The symbol started out blue and white, andover time, other colors were tried, includingred, until the familiar road sign greenbecame the final, lasting color.Some people describe the center of theemblem as a wing. Others call it a zephyr,which is really a soft, gentle breeze. Nomatter what you call the symbol, it depictsforward movement, and that is whatthe Ohio Department of Transportationattempts to do, move forward, to meet theneeds of the citizens of Ohio.4 ODOT Brand & Identity Guidelines1972

TYPOGRAPHYTypography is a powerful and oftenoverlooked tool. When used properly, theright font commands attention, createsclarity, elicits emotions, and above all,creates a voice. That’s why typographyis such an important component of ourbrand’s visual identity.Trebuchet should be the default fontfor ODOT letters, publications, digitalcommunications, and presentations. Therecommended usage for body text is 10 or11 point regular. Larger sizes and use ofbold and italic variations are permittedand encouraged for headings and othernon-body uses.Serif fonts, such as Cambria, aid inreadability for text-heavy documents.Cambria should be used for printdocuments that contain large sections oftext. The recommended usage for bodytext is 10 or 11 point regular.14 ODOT Brand & Identity Guidelines
