Banner and Search Box
The standard University banner is available for use by offices and departments designing their sites.
Banner size and positioning
The banner must be flush against the top and sides of the page. The banner's size should be 740(w) x 120(h). See Logo.
Search Box
The Search box is part of the standard Northwestern University banner. Search options should include the site the page is located on and the top-level Northwestern University pages. There are three search layouts available. See: http://www.northwestern.edu/univ-relations/web_comm/standards/required/#search
Full instructions and HTML code for implementing the Northwestern University Banner and search components will be available soon. If you would like to receive instructions via e-mail when they are ready, send a request to webmaster@northwestern.edu.
If you are re-designing an existing page and are not comfortable working with HTML code, or there are multiple URLs in your department, please consult the Office of Web Communications at webmaster@northwestern.edu or 847-467-4747 for assistance.

Banner without Logo
In rare instances it may be necessary to create a banner without the Official University Logo. This may occur when an outside vendor's interface is customized for use by the University, as with Blackboard, below. This banner is only to be used when it is impossible to incorporate the standard logo.
