ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Brand Guidelines
We are One ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. And we express to the world that we are a united institution through the implementation of a thoughtfully crafted visual identity system and other guidelines to ensure that our diverse campus is represented consistently.
The Office of Communications aims to help users apply these guidelines in materials created for offices and departments throughout campus. The links below offer resources related to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s editorial style, official logos, colors, typefaces, and more.
Editorial Style Guide
The Office of Communications maintains a Guide to Editorial Style and Usage to promote consistency across ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï websites and other content created by users campuswide.
The guide is updated at regular intervals to be inclusive of relevant new terms and to accommodate evolving best practices.
