University Relations
The Graphic Identity Program
The University of Central Missouri has developed a series of marks that comprise the visual identity of the institution. Because the first contact one has with Central Missouri is often through printed and online communications, it is vitally important that graphic and brand standards be followed closely.
This manual includes descriptions of the logos and guidelines for their use, including recommended colors and typefaces. When used according to the guidelines described here, these elements will work together to give all University of Central Missouri communications a unique and cohesive appearance.
Implementation
The Office of Publishing & Promotions is responsible for ensuring the correct use and integrity of the signature, crest, seal, and other logos on all university publications and other materials, whether produced by the university or by an outside agency. This manual is intended to provide a set of basic guidelines for the implementation of the marks that represent the university in its communications, but of course it cannot cover all possible situations and applications. If you have questions concerning use of this manual or the implementation of the logos and marks described within, please contact:
