ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµâ€™s brand reflects who we are and what we deliver: engaged learning, mentorship, innovation and transformational outcomes. In 2023–24, a cross-campus working group helped clarify and codify our identity, culminating in a comprehensive, easy-to-use ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ Brand Guide.

The guide is a toolkit. The rules and examples are not intended to inhibit creativity or expression. Rather, these guidelines should provide a solid and standardized foundation upon which all ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ departments, programs and units can build their marketing and communications plans and materials. Following these brand guidelines will help ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ present its messages in a manner that people will both respect and remember, and which will motivate them to engage with the university.

Use the guide to plan and produce consistent, accessible communications across print, web, social, events and signage so our audiences experience a unified ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ story.

What you’ll find

  • Official marks (signatures/wordmarks) and usage
  • Color, typography and accessibility guidance
  • Templates and file formats
  • Messaging cues and writing style (AP + ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ specifics)
  • Brand review process and how to get help
