Signage and Environmental Branding

Banners

The Office of Global Marketing and Communications has a large Northwestern-branded step-and-repeat banner which schools and units may use as a photo backdrop at special events. To borrow this backdrop, please contact Kayla Stoner, media strategist, or Kristin Samuelson, health sciences editor and multimedia producer. 

OGMC also has smaller Northwestern-branded pull-up banners which are suitable for use at the entrance to an event or on stage next to a speaker. To borrow these banners, please contact Kayla Stoner, media strategist, or Kristin Samuelson, health sciences editor and multimedia producer. 

For assistance in producing a custom, brand-compliant pull-up or step-and-repeat banner, please contact Anne Egger, director of publications. 

Student-centric events may use Campton Bold and Campton Medium brand fonts for signage and wayfinding.

Flyers

OGMC provides downloadable templates for printed flyers, which can be used to publicize events. See our webpage, Best Practices for Designing Flyers, for design guidelines and for access to the flyer templates. 

For design assistance, please contact Anne Egger, director of publications.

Building signage should follow our lockup system template. For wayfinding signage, please use Akkurat Bold and Akkurat Regular brand fonts.

For plaques, please use Akkurat Bold and Akkurat Regular brand fonts.

When selecting a paint color, we recommend color matching with our swatches. If unable to achieve an acceptable color match, Benjamin Moore Gentle Violet (2071-20) is generally a satisfactory match (results will vary depending on the material).
