The Goldie artwork is a high-quality illustration that strongly represents the University’s mascot—the golden eagle—and provides the NEIU community with an icon that can be used consistently to symbolize Northeastern with pride. To learn more about the approved use of the Goldie artwork, as well as the Northeastern Illinois University name, logo and icon, please review the official University Brand and Trademarked Property Policy.


The Artwork

There are two versions of the Goldie artwork. A stand-alone Goldie and Goldie artwork with the NEIU acronym. These versions are not substitutes for the full NEIU logo. For external marketing pieces, the artwork is supplemental and secondary to the full NEIU logo.
