Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Branding Guidelines

This guide is to establish Osher Lifelong Learning Institute's brand identity in a way that promotes efficiency, flexibility, and consistency. It includes the following elements: official logos, colors, typography, and photography.

 

Program Logos

Primary Logo

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute's logo is from the Osher foundation which is a nationwide organization. The Osher logo sits next to the University of Utah logo to associate the two organizations. 

Whenever representing Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Utah, use this logo. 

When the background blends with the black text or the red Block U, use the white logo. When the background is dark gray or black use the inverted logo.

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 with other regional universities' school colors.

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, and feature Osher faculty, staff, and students. Photos should not look not overly styled. They should show engaged learning and friendly interactions. The people featured can either be looking off-camera or giving direct eye contact. Faculty, staff, and students should look positive, approachable, and natural with an appropriate mix of race and gender to reflect the area. Positions should look natural and not be overly posed.

The locations should be from around the University of Utah - University Connected Learning Building, the University of Utah campus, satellite locations in Utah, or in associated locations. 

We have a library of images on PhotoShelter for Osher and its partners to use.

If you need to 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 the characteristics of the people, their actions, and their environments. 

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