Â鶹ŮÀÉ

Brand and style guides

In order to establish and maintain a consistent and professional identity to our external audiences, Â鶹ŮÀÉ has brand guides and usage restrictions for our logos and word marks. A strong brand bolsters our ability to recruit students that believe in our core values and want to be part of what we do, increases our national and international market value, and inspires friends and alumni to support our mission and vision.

For this purpose, the Office of Communications and Marketing has been charged to oversee, maintain and protect the Â鶹ŮÀÉ brand. These documents are provided as a reference to our community, but all usage of the brand (logos, design elements, messaging, typography, and more) is under the governance of Communications and Marketing and is subject to review. 

Â鶹ŮÀÉ's logos are protected trademarks and may not be altered.
