Brand Guidelines
CIIS' distinction lies in its academic rigor and integral, transdisciplinary approach to education and research. Having a strong, recognizable University-wide visual identity immediately distinguishes CIIS from other higher education institutions. It locates every school, department, program, office, publication, and initiative as part of CIIS' unparalleled history of transformation, adding to the value of each of our parts, while reinforcing the collective value of the University as a whole.
Because CIIS' identity is expressed in how the University represents itself to the world, OSCR has developed and maintains resources for communicating about CIIS' distinctiveness. Everyone in our community contributes to the greatness that is CIIS.
Brand guidelines – including brand mark, fonts, colors, and layout instructions – are available for download. For design specific to your program, office, or department, please see our comprehensive Brand Standards.
