Surrounding the book are the words "AMERICAN" at the top and "ASSOCIATION" at the bottom, both rendered in bold, capitalized letters. The word "LIBRARY" is prominently placed in the middle, also in an uppercase font, creating a sense of hierarchy and focus on the central theme of the organization.

Encircling the text and the book, there are small dot-like accents located between the words, adding a decorative element to the overall design. The entire logo is presented in a monochromatic color scheme, using a deep black against a white background, which conveys a sense of professionalism and clarity.

Basic Colors

We've taken a look at the image and pulled out some colors that are common across lots of logos. The colors below aren't the exact colors found in the image, but approximations to common colors.

Black

Advanced Colors

We've extracted the below 'advanced colors' from the logo. These should be much closer to the actual colors found in the logo. Our extractor tries to only take the main colors of the image and tries to ignore shading on anti-aliasing or shadows. This generally leads to better results, but in some circumstances you might find a few unusual colors being pulled from the logo.

Dark

Hex Colors

The below are the hex colors that are found in the logo. You can assume that these are the actual colors used in the logo. Our color extraction tool that takes the colors from the logo tries to ignore anti-aliasing and shadows, so you may sometimes find a slightly odd result, but this is rare. These colors should be very similar to the Advanced Colors, but you'll notice subtle differences. If you're interested in the exact color then use the hex, but if you're trying to describe the logo then use the Advanced Color or the Basic Color above.
