FESTIVAL LOGOS AND ART
To download a logo image, either right-click (PC) or control-click (Mac) on the image to get a contextual menu with options for saving. To resize the image you’ve downloaded, press the shift key while you drag a corner of the image — this will keep the dimensions proportionate.

Kelvin, the NC Science Festival spokesbot
Kelvin is one of the Festival’s more recognizable icons and should be treated as a logo, without any modifications. If you want to edit Kelvin in any way beyond resizing them, please contact the Festival’s media office at moreheadplanetarium@unc.edu to request permission in advance.
Full STEAM Ahead
Each year, Festival organizers choose a broad theme that partners can engage with in a variety of ways (or not at all - it isn't mandatory). The 2023 NCSciFest theme is "Full STEAM Ahead" — we're excited to celebrate the intersection of science and the arts!
