[edit] Summary

Description Logo of the United States Government Printing Office, adopted in 2002.

The logo mixes both traditional and new elements. The G and the O are in a serif font, representing a traditional typesetting style, while the P is in a sans-serif font, representing web-based design. The squares to the right of the O signify moving from paper to pixels. The fonts go from the traditional to the new and then back to the traditional, with the meaning that GPO is moving to the future while not forgetting its heritage. The reversed P is indicative of hot metal type.

The branding color is Pantone Spot 280.
