New Wordmark System Announced

University Relations and Marketing is introducing a new wordmark system for the University.

The new wordmarks will eliminate inconsistencies while offering a third tier of branding that will provide the ability for schools and departments to represent specific programs as well as relationships with institutes and centers.

The hierarchal organization will expand functionality of the system by introducing a third tier of branding, pairing schools, programs and institutes.

• Primary Logo – the 91��Ƶ official wordmark

• Tier 2 – Individual school, division, department or office

• Tier 3 – Center, institute, or department within a school or division

Making these minor changes streamlines the design process by consolidating options and eliminates inconsistencies by keeping the tree icon in all wordmarks. Further, the use of a horizontal logo and the centering of type offers greater design consistency across multiple naming conventions.

The new wordmarks are currently being introduced and the changes will take effect on Sept. 1. Departments will not have to replace existing stock. Learn more .
