Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Graphic Standards are official visual elements that reflect Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ's brand identity.

They are used in all university communications and include logos, symbols, typefaces, colors and all other visual elements representing Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. 


Why have a graphic standard?

Standardized visual elements help maintain a strong identity for Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ as a leading national institution. A consistent approach to visual identity also allows Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ to produce fewer alternative versions of materials. For example, it is more efficient to use one letterhead and envelope rather than one for each department and office on campus. It not only minimizes waste, it also saves time and money as well. 

Using official visual elements

The graphic standards identified here are official visual elements used for university communications. Graphics have been registered and copyrighted so no individual or organization may represent Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ without permission.

Official materials are designed and produced by the Office of Communications. Staff and faculty may download logos and templates for official university business.
