Signage and Environmental Branding
A branded environment expresses our personality by using our brand assets, color palette, typography, and graphic elements. The images below serve as inspiration*; contractors/vendors should work directly with their Facilities project manager.
*Athletics and Feinberg School of Medicine follow their own brand guidelines.
Events
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.
