University Communications

Logos and Identity

Brown’s reputation, mission, and values are reflected in how the University represents itself to the world. Cohesive and consistent use of visual and editorial elements build strength in recognition for the individuals, programs and initiatives associated with Brown over time.

OUC stewards and maintains the University’s resources for communicating about the individual distinctiveness of Brown and its departments and programs — a distinctiveness that contributes to “what is Brown.” These elements are uniquely associated with Brown’s unique brand of academic excellence and its reputation as a leading education and research institution.
