Lifelong Learning Branding Guidelines

This guide is to help you understand how to use our official logos, colors, typography, and photography style.

 

Program Logos

Primary Logo

The Lifelong Learning logo follows the University of Utah brand guideline for secondary logos for departments. It has four elements: the Block U, the University wordmark, the department signature, and the red ruled line.

Whenever representing the entire unit of Lifelong Learning, use this logo. In cases where the design does not fit, use only the Block U. When the background blends with the black text or the red Block U, use the white logo.

When printing in black and white, use the black version of the logo on a light background.

Secondary Colors

Accent colors, when used, should be complementary and supporting to the red and black. It is strongly recommended that designers avoid using blue, purple, or green as stand-alone colors to avoid creating confusion.

Consistency of style and usage makes reading easier. These style guides are designed to increase the effectiveness of University of Utah publications by encouraging stylistic consistency and sensible usage campus-wide. To view the most updated version visit University Marketing's site.

Photography

Photos should be simple, direct, feature Lifelong Learning students, and not look not overly styled. They should show engaged learning, teamwork, and friendly interactions. The students featured can either be looking off camera, or giving direct eye contact. Students and teachers should look positive, approachable, and natural with an appropriate mix of race and gender to reflect the area. Positions should look natural and not overly posed.

The locations should be from around the University of Utah campus or partnered locations in Utah.

We have a library of images on Photoshelter for Lifelong Learning and its partners to use.

If you shoot new photos for a specific need, it is very important that the photos follow the above guidelines and avoid clichéd poses or effects. All our photography should support our brand attributes through characteristics of the people, their actions, and their environments. 

If you would like to schedule a photo shoot, submit a ticket.

Note: To download images from the Photoshelter, use the gallery password uofucece.
