91Å®Éñ Branding

A brand is a powerful tool. It identifies where an organization is, where it's been and where it's going. 91Å®Éñ's official brand identity helps us communicate what's different about 91Å®Éñ, the University's DNA. 

91Å®Éñ's Visual Identity

Keep the look and feel of the University's branding consistent in print and digital marketing materials. The fonts, colors and iconography chosen should not be modified in any way and should be used only after consulting with the Division of Marketing and Communications. 

Logos and Wordmarks

A mark identifies a brand. It serves as both a flag and a signature. It should be instantly recognizable and unique. Every mark communicates a message, and 91Å®Éñ's mark is no different, representing its values and vision.

Design Conventions

Let the content speak. Legibility and simplicity are the essence of the 91Å®Éñ approach to design. Function over flair. Our goal is to clarify the complicated for our audiences.

To reflect our personality and brand platform, we use blocks, grids and structure elements to align and communicate visual information. The intentional use of negative space and minimal embellishment will enhance your audience’s ability to understand your message.

Design Tips: Keep it Simple

  • Distill your message to core elements. Keep your audience engaged by using large headlines, a single image and short, direct copy. The use of simple iconography and large numbers visually communicates information in a simple way that draws readers’ attention.
  • Establish a bold look. Bold, unembellished use of typography and color can effectively set the tone of any communication.
  • Less copy is more effective. Bold typography and direct content are most effective in communicating a clear and concise message and making legibility a priority.
