Brand Guidelines Update

Summary

In February 2018, we launched an updated Brand Guidelines website. These brand guidelines define the university’s editorial and graphic standards and provide access to official artwork for members of the William & Mary community.

Full Description

The project to create and implement a new university logo and style guide was completed in November, 2014. A university’s brand is constantly evolving and requires constant stewardship by all communicators. This week, we launched an updated Brand Guidelines site. We plan to keep a perpetual eye on it and update and tweak its content as deemed helpful.

A few notable changes and updates to this iteration:

Visual headers to show examples of the content on pages
A sidebar on every page that gives additional information regarding the content, and a consistent link that directs people to Web & Design with questions
More intuitive navigation based on user feedback, including drop-down menu items
Accordion-nested content on longer pages to keep page length shorter and more digestible
Key content additions, including but not limited to:
- an expanded university color palette
- instructions regarding the production of merchandise
- details regarding the restricted use of the coat of arms
- information about email signatures
- round social media profile templates for unitadditional graphic assets for download
- additional graphic assets for download
Ability to click on any image throughout the site that has a corresponding download and be directed to the location to download that item
