Our comprehensive brand architecture enables areas of the University—large and small—to maintain both brand consistency and the uniqueness of each unit.
Connected at our core: While each University unit and the communities they engage and serve differ, we are all connected at our core. UNCG brand architecture consists of two levels: core brand and associated entity. Unit classification and any exceptions are determined by UNCG’s University Communications Division.
Core Brand: The core brand is our foundation. Comprised of the brand platform and positioning statement, coupled with the consistent execution of our visual assets, the core brand defines us and our market position. Visual assets for the core brand include the University logo, colors, typography, photography and videography style, tagline, and web design. Examples of core brand units include: Office of the Chancellor, Office of the Provost, Academic Units, and Student Affairs. Exceptions to the core brand can be made for specific purposes, including but not limited to named schools.
Associated entity: Connected to the University, associated entities are nimble. Examples of associated entities include but are not limited to: UNC Greensboro Alumni Association, Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC Greensboro, and Gateway Research Park. UNCG associated entities may use the University logo as a means of showing the connection to the University, but adherence to the core brand assets are not required.
