UM Brand Guidelines

The intent of brand guidelines and assets is to encourage visual consistency in the use of the ÁÔÆæÖØ¿Ú's brand. The guidelines apply to print, electronic and Web communications. Consistent and repetitive use of visual images will unify and strengthen the University’s identity and brand. 

If you have printed materials, branded items, promotional products or advertising that you are considering producing for external audiences, you must get approval PRIOR to final production. The request will be reviewed and returned with an approval or a reason for disapproval within five business days. Time needed to produce materials can vary greatly, please plan accordingly. If you have questions, please email Andy Chapman, director of brand strategy, at andy.chapman@mso.umt.edu.
